WASHINGTON (AP) — There were funnel cakes, stands of festival bling and American flags aplenty. There were mighty machines of war, brought out to dazzle and impress. And there was the spray of tear gas against demonstrators in Los Angeles and Atlanta, and rolling waves of anti-Trump resistance coast to coast.

Will protests in Los Angeles set the stage for more clashes Saturday as activists in hundreds of cities nationwide, including metro Detroit, organize?

Opponents of President Donald Trump's administration on Saturday rallied in nearly 2,000 locations across the country, with thousands demonstrating in Northern California.

"No Kings" protests have been organized nationwide in response to a massive military parade in Washington, D.C.
