PROTESTERS EXPECTED TO CONVERGE ON DC, NEIGHBORING CITIES AHEAD OF TRUMP'S MILITARY PARADE
Washington, D.C. on Saturday will host a large military parade for the Army’s 250th anniversary, which coincides with Flag Day.
No Kings' website, however, alleges the military parade is in honor of President Donald Trump, describing the event as "a made-for-TV display of dominance for his [79th] birthday."
The parade and protests follow multiple days of violent riots in Los Angeles and New York City.

TRUMP WARNS ANY POTENTIAL PROTESTORS AT HIS MILITARY PARADE WILL BE ‘MET WITH VERY BIG FORCE’
U.S. Attorneys have reportedly been warned that federal charges may need to be filed if the protests become violent.
"We are prepared to respond accordingly," a spokesperson said.

Organizers noted on the No Kings site they will not be hosting an event within the nation's capital, focusing instead on rallies in Philadelphia, Virginia and Maryland.
However, No Kings' partners, DC Joy Day, will be hosting an event in Anacostia Park, located within the city.
