NBC News' Jacob Soboroff reports from Los Angeles City Hall where thousands of protesters have gathered for a 'No Kings' protest against the Trump administration and ahead of the president's Washington D.

Thousands marched and rallied peacefully during the No Kings OKC protest on June 14, the same day as the U.S. Army 250th Anniversary military parade.

Democracy is “in real trouble,” Mark Ruffalo told MSNBC’s Antonio Hylton while attending the “No Kings” rally in New York City Saturday. His words were echoed by Ellen Pompeo, Kerry Washington, Jimmy Kimmel, and many more notable people and celebrities who spoke out in support of the nationwide protests.

Additional celebrities including Anna Kendrick, Gina Rodriguez-LoCicero and Tessa Thompson were out on Saturday to protest against the Trump administration.

All "No Kings" protests have been canceled in Minnesota after two state lawmakers and their spouses were shot in targeted attacks.

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

Elon Musk posted a cryptic message about the "No Kings" protests after activists took to the streets across the U.S. over the weekend.

Leading up to the military parade in Washington, D.C. Saturday, as many as 2,000 cities erupted in a coordinated, nationwide protest.
