The "No Kings" protest is taking place in cities across the country in response to Trump's military parade in Washington, D.C.

Philadelphia’s "No Kings" protest was a mass expression of anti-Trump resistance. It was also a magnet for lovers of period costumes. The rally featured a professional James Madison impersonator, a suffragette and an array of folks in wigs and tricorn hats.

In a city known as the cradle of American democracy, an impassioned, hourslong protest filled the streets for a ‘No Kings Nationwide Day of Defiance.’

Philadelphia Police are stationed along the edges of today’s protest but seem pretty relaxed. Most are outfitted in normal attire — no riot shields or helmets. "So far, so good," one officer replied when asked if there had been any disruptions.
