Kavya Beheraj/Axios Protesters in Virginia and nationwide are organizing anti-President Trump rallies to run counter to Saturday's military parade in D.C. — provoking a response from Trump himself. Why it matters: Organizers expect it to be the largest single-day anti-Trump rally this year,

United West Virginia organized the assembly and chose the name “No Kings” after Trump posted a picture portraying himself as one. He also organized a $45 million dollar military parade to honor the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army.

From Silver Spring and Bethesda and Gaithersburg in Maryland, to Fairfax and Falls Church and Arlington in Virginia, people throughout the region came out for “ No Kings Day of Defiiance ” protests. (There was not a “No Kings” protest in DC itself, but there was a march from Logan Circle to the White House organized by Refuse Fascism .)
