From robot military dogs and tanks rumbling through the streets of the nation's capital to millions joining “No Kings” demonstrations across the US, June 14th was a cultural split-screen moment.
It was a conflicting, polar day in America. In one city, a parade costing tens of millions of dollars was complete with robot military dogs walking down the street, the president being serenaded by a crowd singing Happy Birthday, and thousands of Army service members marching in rows.
In a city just North of DC, at the flagship No Kings rally in Philadelphia, an estimated 80,000 people called out chants that have become familiar since 2016, like “Hey-hey! Ho-ho! Donald Trump has got to go!” and ones befitting the protest, like “Let freedom ring! We don’t want a king!” Nearly 3,000 miles away in Los Angeles, police shot stun grenades and rubber bullets, and used tear gas, on a group of demonstrators protesting the Trump administration’s attacks on immigrant communities. The offensive from police who claimed they were attempting to disperse the crowd came hours before the 8 o’clock curfew that part of downtown was placed under by Mayor Karen Bass. Protestors have been rallying in Los Angeles all week amid the Trump administration’s rounding up of immigrants in the city and their subsequent moves to call in the National Guard and active-duty Marines to quell the pro-immigrant, anti-ICE demonstrations. Below are just some of the images that illustrate what this one divisive day in the US looked like.
