A 33-mile trip from one protest in Annapolis, Md., to the parade grandstand in front of the White House was like a journey between two different countries.

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.

Thousands gathered for the No Kings protest at the Michigan State Capitol building in Lansing on Saturday, June 14.

The singer-songwriter and producer expressed disappointment over the widespread protests against President Donald Trump that coincided with the anniversary. He called it a "super bummer" that people chose to demonstrate instead of celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States Army.

While President Donald Trump attended a military parade he ordered on his birthday to recognize the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army in Washington, D.C., thousands of people in the Kansas City metro area flexed their First Amendment right Saturday to voice their opposition to polices of the Trump administration during the "No Kings" national day of defiance.
