Organizers reported that over 2000 demonstrations occurred across 50 US states in protest of “authoritarianism, billionaire-first politics, and the militarisation of our democracy” during Trump‘s administration.

Protesters took to the streets as a military parade unfolded in Washington, DC, celebrating the 250th anniversary of the US Army, coinciding with Trump’s 79th birthday.

Among those who joined the protest in Los Angeles was talk show host Jimmy Kimmel.

Kimmel took to Instagram to praise the “peaceful” demonstration he attended in South Bay, a south-west region of LA.

“A huge, inspiring, and indeed peaceful turnout in the South Bay. I encountered many individuals who cherish this nation and remain confident in its role as a force for good,” Kimmel shared on Instagram, donning a “Make America Good Again!” shirt.

“I am grateful to see so many Americans take action to stand up for our friends and neighbours, most of all, my parents. 

“I recognize how fortunate I am to have a family who instilled in me the importance of caring for others and that the most meaningful words ever spoken are ‘Love one another.’ It’s truly that simple.”

Kung Fu Panda star Jack Black was also spotted by protesters walking down the street during another No Kings march in Los Angeles.

It remains unclear if Black was joining the protest or happened to be walking past at the same time.

Footage shared on TikTok shows the actor crossing the road and being accosted by fans.

Over on the east coast, A-listers Mark Ruffalo and Susan Sarandon were seen joining protests in New York City.

Several other celebrities took to Instagram to share images of themselves holding signs, including Anna Kendrick, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Marisa Tomei and Kerry Washington.

Seinfeld star Louis-Dreyfus held a sign which read: “The only monarch I like is a butterfly.”

Tensions boil at ‘No Kings’ protests 

Demonstrators poured onto streets and parks to decry the Republican president as a dictator or would-be king, overshadowing celebrations for the 250th anniversary of the US Army – and what is also Trump’s birthday.

Huge, boisterous crowds marched in New York, Denver, Chicago, Houston and Los Angeles, some behind “no kings” banners.

Atlanta’s 5000-capacity event quickly reached its limit, with thousands more gathered outside barriers to hear speakers in front of the state Capitol.

In Washington, anti-war protesters unfurled signs that said “Homes not drones” not far from a display of armoured vehicles, helicopters and military-grade equipment on the National Mall set up to commemorate the Army’s birthday.

In some places, organisers handed out little American flags while others flew their flags upside down, a sign of distress. Mexican flags, which have become a fixture of the Los Angeles protests against immigration raids, also made an appearance at some demonstrations on Saturday.
