No Kings Day: June 14 protests set to be biggest yet, will counter Trump military parade in locations nationwide. Here's what to know
June 14 is shaping up to be a big day, with millions of Americans expected to take to the streets in what organizers have said will likely be the largest single-day turnout of the anti-Trump, pro-democracy protest movement since President Donald Trump took office for a second term in January, dubbed 'No Kings Day.' Organizers expect 1,800 rallies will take place on Saturday for 'a nationwide day of defiance' in every state, and major city across the country—except Washington, D.C, so as to avoid clashes with the Army's 250 anniversary celebrations which will be held that day in the nation's capital (more on that below). 'Peaceful, organized, and united. Make it clear: we don't do kings in this country,' the No Kings organizers said in a statement to Fast Company. 'From city blocks to small towns, from courthouse steps to community parks, we're taking action to reject authoritarianism—and show the world what democracy really looks like,' according to the No Kings website, 'On June 14th, we're showing up everywhere he [Trump] isn't—to say no thrones, no crowns, no kings.' The No Kings protest is sponsored by Indivisible and a broad coalition of over 180 partner organizations including: the ACLU, Common Cause, Greenpeace, Physicians for Social Responsibility, Standing Up for Science, a number of unions, including the Communication Workers of America, and teacher federations. 'Even conservative estimates say that 3.5 million people turned out for the Hands Off mobilization on April 5,' Indivisible's Ezra Levin told Fast Company. 'No Kings [in the U.S] is on track to exceed that by millions more… With events [in] red states, blue states, purple states, rural areas, suburban areas, urban areas, United States, North America, Europe, South America—we're all over.' The anti-authoritarian, pro-democracy protests aim to counter President Donald Trump's multimillion-dollar military parade in Washington, D.C. that day to celebrate the Army's 250th anniversary that will be held on Trump's 79th birthday, which is also Flag Day. According to the Associated Press, Trump has long wanted a military parade, which is expected to feature 6,600 soldiers, 150 vehicles and 50 helicopters on a route from Arlington, Virginia to the National Mall, where there will be a fireworks display. The Army initially estimated that the cost for the day's birthday celebrations, including the parade, would range from $25 million to $45 million, which now look closer to $40 million, according to USA TODAY; and come at a time the Trump administration's so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has slashed budgets and jobs at federal agencies, including civilians in the Defense Department, per the AP. The parade's enormous price tag has further angered many Americans and Trump critics already fed up by the president's overall mishandling of the economy, from tariffs to immigration, best summed up as the TACO presidency, or Trump Always Chickens Out.

Need a rugged watch on a budget? Get the Apple Watch Ultra 2 at this hard-to-beat price today!
How many times have you seen the word "budget" written in the same sentence as the name of the latest rugged Apple smartwatch? Not that many, I'm sure, and while Woot still doesn't sell the Apple Watch Ultra 2 at a comparable price with the "mainstream" Apple Watch Series 10 (let alone the dirt-cheap Apple Watch SE 2), this absolute tank of a cellular-equipped intelligent timepiece is almost impossible to turn down right now. That's because you can pay just $529.99 for a "grade A" refurbished unit with a super-handsome black titanium case, matching black ocean band, and most importantly, a one-year seller warranty... if you hurry. In theory, the aforementioned Amazon-owned e-tailer plans to keep this phenomenal new deal going until Saturday, June 14, but the undoubtedly limited inventory could be completely wiped out in a matter of hours. $269 off (34%) GPS, Bluetooth, Cellular Connectivity, Always-On Retina Display with Up to 3000 Nits of Brightness, Apple S9 Processor, 1000m Water Resistance, Double Tap Gesture, ECG, Blood Oxygen Sensor, Sleep Apnea Detection, High and Low Heart Rate Notifications, Irregular Rhythm Alerts, Temperature Sensing, Fall Detection, Crash Detection, Siren, Up to 36 Hours of Battery Life, 49mm Black Titanium Case, Black Ocean Band, Grade A Refurbished Condition, One-Year Seller Warranty Included Buy at Woot GPS, Bluetooth, Cellular Connectivity, Always-On Retina Display with Up to 3000 Nits of Brightness, Apple S9 Processor, 1000m Water Resistance, Double Tap Gesture, ECG, Blood Oxygen Sensor, Sleep Apnea Detection, High and Low Heart Rate Notifications, Irregular Rhythm Alerts, Temperature Sensing, Fall Detection, Crash Detection, Siren, Up to 36 Hours of Battery Life, 49mm Titanium Case, Multiple Colors and Band Options Buy at Amazon That's basically what happened a couple of weeks ago, when the same product was sold by the same retailer (in a different color) at an even lower price with an even lengthier warranty included. So, yeah, this is technically a worse deal, but not by much and it still beats all comparable offers currently available on Amazon for both brand-new and "renewed" Apple Watch Ultra 2 units. As evidenced in our comprehensive Apple Watch Ultra 2 review back in the fall of 2023, this is not a vastly different device from its 2022 predecessor, but all the little improvements and refinements make a strong value proposition even stronger... especially at 530 bucks. That price includes standalone 4G LTE connectivity in addition to a super-robust titanium construction, impressively bright (and large, and sharp) Retina display, excellent battery life (at least by Apple Watch standards), industry-leading water and dust resistance, not to mention all of the most advanced health monitoring tools in today's wearable landscape. Yes, a presumably even better Apple Watch Ultra 3 is likely right around the corner, but for the time being, the Apple Watch Ultra 2 remains the absolute best smartwatch an iPhone owner can buy for both indoor and outdoor usage. Just make sure you hurry and place your Woot order before it's too late!
