YORK, Maine — Large crowds gathered in York on Saturday, June 14, for the "No Kings" day of protest against President Donald Trump and his administration. The local event was part of similar protests in towns and cities across the nation and coincided with Trump's military parade in honor of the Army's 250th anniversary in Washington.

Timothy Snyder, history professor, and author of "On Tyranny" and the "Thinking about..." Substack, talks with Rachel Maddow about the character of the anti-Trump movement and what past opposition movements tell us about how the energy of "No Kings Day" can be channeled into political productivity.

Millions of people turned out for "No Kings" protests nationwide on Saturday that were largely peaceful though there were some arrests and police had to disperse unruly crowds, including in Georgia and Los Angeles.
