In 70 or so Michigan cities, from Midland to Muskegon and Milan to Marquette, thousands expressed their dissatisfaction.

Tanks, troops, and marching bands rolled through Washington in a parade of American military power, a show met by thousands of citizens who showed another kind of power: protest.

Protesters filled plazas, streets and parks across the country on Saturday, mounting a mass mobilization that called for protecting American democracy from a president that many opponents accused of overreaching the powers of his office.
