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

Thousands of "No Kings Day" protests are set to be held throughout the country on Saturday to protest the Trump administration.

The rallies were among hundreds of "No Kings" protests held throughout the United States, timed to coincide with a military parade celebrating the 250th birthday of the U.S. Army in Washington, D.C. Saturday was also Trump's 79th birthday.

The "No Kings" protests were scheduled in Connecticut as early as 9:30 a.m. in Canton and Glastonbury and could last elsewhere until 6 p.m.

That’s part of why George Atkinson, a former high school government teacher, felt compelled to join a protest in downtown Houston on Saturday. The 89-year-old affixed a sign to his walker that read, “The clothes have no emperor! He’s all hat and no cattle!”

Thousands took to the streets for the ‘No Kings’ protest across the U.S. Here’s what we know about the turnout and the movement’s message.
