Planned ‘No Kings' protests grow in number after LA militarization: What organizers expect
"No Kings" Day organizers say it is more important than ever to have a "national day of peaceful protest" on June 14 following the decision by President Donald Trump to send in Marines and the National Guard to Los Angeles. "I think we will see the largest peaceful single day protests that this country has seen certainly since the first Trump term," said Indivisible cofounder Ezra Levin, one of the organizers. Now, about 2,000 protests and rallies named "No Kings" Day are planned to oppose what they see as Trump's power grab, nearly double that of the April 5 "Hands Off" protest that saw millions of Americans turn out in big and small cities nationwide. Organizers expect millions of Americans to turn out across the country on June 14. The protests occur the same day as a parade to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army in Washington, D.C., which also falls on Trump's 79th birthday. The "No Kings" Day protests were planned long before Trump called in the California National Guard to quell largely peaceful protests over immigration enforcement raids in Los Angeles. On June 9, he ordered 700 Marines to the city to help. Related: 'No Kings Day' protests planned for June 14 with aim to reclaim the American flag Still, there have been pockets of high-profile clashes with police in Los Angeles, leading California Gov. Gavin Newsom to bring in extra state resources and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass to impose a curfew. Hundreds of people have been arrested, mostly for violating the curfew. Protests have since spread across the country, and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican, has deployed the Texas National Guard to immigration enforcement protests there. "Mobilizing military forces into American cities is going to be seen as an overreach, and it's going to be now met with a wave of peaceful, boisterous moms and dads and grandmas and kids and their dogs and families showing up, saying, 'we're not going to put up with this authoritarianism,'" Levin said. On June 11, the White House said Trump is fine with peaceful protests during the military parade, walking back comments Trump made the day before that any protesters would be met with "very big force." That same day, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth suggested that more national guard units could be deployed. Levin said the presence of the National Guard has changed nothing on their end. There is no planned "No Kings" Day protest in Washington, D.C. "Our current plan is full steam ahead," he said. "It's more important than ever that we have a national day of peaceful protest in response to would be monarchical rule. And the worst thing we could do this in this moment is back down in response to saber rattling from Trump and others." Organizers anticipate that the immigration enforcement and Trump's response to largely peaceful protests by bringing in the military is a pivot point that will bring new people to the streets June 14. "It's part of the national conversation now," Levin said. "And when this kind of thing becomes part of the national conversation, a lot of people who weren't paying attention before lift their head up and say, 'oh my gosh, that's terrible. What do I do?' And there's a very clear answer, it's show up on Saturday in a peaceful protest in a town near you." Progressive groups often talk about building on pivot points that draw people into protests or activism for the first time. For example, fear and anger over tariffs that were announced April 2 led to larger than expected crowds at the April 5 Hands Off protests. Mass layoffs of federal probationary workers in February led to large numbers of people at townhalls held by Republican members of Congress. The presence of the National Guard in Los Angeles, Texas and possibly other states is an effort to "sow chaos" and scare people out of showing up to peacefully protest, Levin said. "It's really important for those of us who are organizing to make these events as welcoming as possible and create a sense of strength in numbers. The more people who show up, the harder it is for them to scare us away," Levin said. The national organizers are holding several extra safety and de-escalation trainings for local activists and volunteers this week. "We have no reason to believe these will be anything but peaceful," he said, pointing out that there were no reported incidents of violence or property destruction during the 1,300 protests in April. "These should be family friendly events. I expect to see people's dogs and their families and their kids out with funny signs and dancing and having a good time." On June 14, hundreds of thousands of people are expected to take to the streets of Los Angeles for the "No Kings" protest. Organizers estimate 250,000 people will come, far above the estimated 70,000 who came to the last major protest in early April. "It is definitely a city that knows how to protest. I would say for a lot of people, it's a sense of duty. We have a duty to our community… to our neighbors, and to democracy and freedom at its most basic level. If we don't all stand up together now, we're going to be crushed separately," said Hunter Dunn, spokesperson for the group organizing the protest.

He said his group's leadership has been tear gassed and hit with rubber bullets in recent days while providing food, water and medical services at the protest site in central Los Angeles. 50501 has a large team of volunteers on hand to de-escalate and be on the front line if law enforcement tries to break up the protest, he said. "We have a medical team and we have a security team who's specifically there to de-escalate and prevent bad actors from making things worse, and those are the people who are putting their bodies on the line if the government starts using tear gas or rubber bullets like they've been using against unorganized protests this week," Dunn said. Dunn encouraged people in the country illegally to stay home. "If someone is in danger of being targeted by the government directly, I would rather them stay home and instead ask five neighbors to go out and protest in their stead," he said. Still, he said there are a lot of people "who are for the first time realizing how serious the situation is and how important is to stand up for everyone's rights now so we don't lose them."

'No Kings' rally is Saturday at Vigo County Courthouse
Another demonstration organized by Indivisible Wabash Valley is scheduled Saturday from 10 a.m. to noon at the Vigo County Courthouse. This one is being called a 'No Kings' protest and community gathering, and it is scheduled opposite the military parade in Washington, D.C. ordered by President Donald Trump on Flag Day for his birthday. Terre Haute's event is one of an estimated 2,000 that will occur in all 50 states. The "No Kings" and the earlier "Hands Off!" rallies and Indivisible's coalitions overlap. Indivisible's Rex Gambill said Saturdays rallies are "supporting our position that The United States is governed by three separate and equal branches of government. We do not believe one branch of government and especially one person should or will be allowed to control our lives." He added, "Saturday will enable all concerned citizens to join our voices supporting the Constitution that has provide almost 250 years of freedom from the rule of a king or dictator and the rights and liberties to pursue a life of equality and fulfillment for every American." Terre Haute City Councilman Todd Nation said Thursday that the intent of these events is "protesting things happening at the federal level that affect the country — and Terre Haute." Various sources report Trump's military parade will cost taxpayers between $25 million and $100 million at the same time the country is told there's little money for Social Security, SNAP, Medicaid or public schools. "In keeping with our desire to be a cooperative and contributing force in our community, we are also hosting a food drive for The Brown Baggers of Sullivan County," Gambill said of this Saturday's event. "These people work tirelessly to insure no child is hungry. Over 400 children benefit from Brown Baggers." Those wishing to donate should bring food items to the courthouse on Saturday. Nation observed, "Indivisible is routinely adding an element of helping others to their events." Speakers will begin at 11 a.m. The Courthouse is at 33 S. 3rd St. For more information, email Chris Williams at chrisindvs@

Edmonton Oilers star Connor McDavid and his wife Lauren Kyle McDavid have been tallying up relationship goals since the hockey phenom's rookie season. Connor, a three-time NHL MVP, and Kyle started dating in 2016 and, in the time since, have celebrated birthdays, accomplishments and career milestones together, all leading to their lavish wedding in the summer of 2024.

For a full breakdown of Connor and Lauren's relationship timeline, keep scrolling. Connor and Lauren went Instagram official in July 2016 when she posted a photo kissing the hockey star's cheek. The picture came roughly 9 months after Connor made his NHL debut with the Oilers after the team selected him with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2015 Draft. Connor turned 21 with his girlfriend by his side. 'Love you lots,' Kyle wrote alongside a photo of the couple with drinks in hand. Connor and Lauren adopted their bernedoodle, named Lenard. 'Today was my best day! I met my mom and dad,' read a post on the dog's Instagram account alongside a video of Lenard meeting Connor. 'I found out my dad gives the best head rubs!!

'I cannot put into words how happy I am to be spending the rest of our lives together,' Lauren shared via Instagram. 'Almost 8 years of growth, happiness and so much love and I can't believe we have so much more to look forward to.' Lauren continued, 'I knew you were my person from the day we met and I can't wait for the beautiful life we are going to create together. Thank you for the most thoughtful, picture perfect proposal that I could never have imagined. I love you more than anything. 🤍🤍.' The couple said 'I do' on a private island in Ontario, Canada. 'Married the love of my life and it was the most perfect weekend I could ever imagine!' Lauren shared via Instagram about the big day. Connor posted a series of photos from the wedding and pre-wedding events via Instagram in September, calling it 'a summer for the books.' The couple celebrated the holidays with Connor's brother, Cam, his fiancée, Sarah, and the brothers' parents, Brian and Kelly. Lauren traveled to Montreal to support Connor and Team Canada for the inaugural 4 Nations Face-Off, which was eventually won by the Canadians.
