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

Around 1,800 protests are set to coincide with President Trump's military parade in Washington, D.C. yet none planned in the U.S. capital. Here's why.

On Saturday (January 14), mass protests against President Donald Trump took place across the US at the same time as a military parade in Washington D.C. for the Army’s 250th anniversary, which also fell on Trump's 79th birthday.

Cities large and small across the U.S. saw crowds gather Saturday for planned "No Kings" protests against President Trump.

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.

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

"In America, we don't do kings," the No Kings website reads. "They've defied our courts, deported Americans, disappeared people off the streets, attacked our civil rights, and slashed our services. The corruption has gone too. far. [cq] No thrones. No crowns. No kings."

OneRepublic's Ryan Tedder said that the massive nationwide 'No Kings' protests on the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army are a 'super bummer.'
