Organisers said hundreds of demonstrations were held in a day of defiance to counter a huge military parade hosted by Trump.

Saturday was a day of defiance throughout the nation, as about 2,000 ‘No Kings Day’ rallies took place from New England to the west coast — including here in western Mass., where crowds gathered to protest the state of the government.

Across the country, relatively few disruptions were reported during protests and marches where the mood ranged from joyful to defiant.
