Protests against President Donald Trump ’s administration were held across New Jersey on a rainy Saturday — part of nationwide “No Kings Day” demonstrations coinciding with the president’s 79th birthday and a large military parade in Washington, D.C.

“The most threatening sound to an oligarch is laughter.”

A flagship "No Kings" march and rally are planned in Philadelphia, but no events are scheduled to take place in Washington, D.C., where the military parade will take place on Trump's 79th birthday. Organizers of the protests say they want to take attention away from the parade.
