"We are here today in Tacoma saying we will not yield to that darkness in the smallest dimension," said former governor Jay Inslee.

Across the country, relatively few disruptions were reported during protests and marches where the mood ranged from joyful to defiant.

And police told crowds at a rally in downtown Los Angeles to disperse after authorities said people had thrown "rocks, bricks, bottles," and "fireworks" at officials. Activists in some areas braved wet weather to raise signs and chant slogans.

Tens of thousands of demonstrators took to the streets across Southern California on Saturday to voice their concerns over ongoing immigration raids and oppose the policies of President Trump, who they depicted as an aspiring monarch.

While President Donald Trump attended a military parade he ordered on his birthday to recognize the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army in Washington, D.C., thousands of people in the Kansas City metro area flexed their First Amendment right Saturday to voice their opposition to polices of the Trump administration during the “No Kings” national day of defiance.

The Houston demonstration is one of several planned in the region throughout the day and is expected to draw thousands of protesters.

Sellers are hawking "No Kings" t-shirts, hats and other items in a move to cash on anti-Trump protests planned for June 14.
