Between activism, election results and protest turnout, the prevailing political winds suggest the backlash to the president is real.

Thousands of "No Kings Day" protests are set to be held throughout the country on Saturday to protest the Trump administration.

The rallies were among hundreds of "No Kings" protests held throughout the United States, timed to coincide with a military parade celebrating the 250th birthday of the U.S. Army in Washington, D.C. Saturday was also Trump's 79th birthday.

The "No Kings" protests were scheduled in Connecticut as early as 9:30 a.m. in Canton and Glastonbury and could last elsewhere until 6 p.m.

The No Kings events come after days of protests following raids by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Los Angeles, and Trump’s subsequent deployment of thousands of National Guard and U.S. Marines troops to “temporarily protect” ICE and other federal personnel, along with federal property.

Thousands took to the streets for the ‘No Kings’ protest across the U.S. Here’s what we know about the turnout and the movement’s message.

The anti-Trump protests in Austin remained peaceful, despite a 'credible threat' that forced a brief evacuation of the Texas Capitol complex.

In Muskingum Park, residents of the Mid-Ohio Valley were coming together for a different reason. Lisa Bammerlin, a concerned citizen, said over 200 people came out to be in one of the hundreds of No Kings protests taking place across the United States.
