Marines on guard

US Marines are seen past a picket sign as they stand guard outside the Federal Building during a protest against the Trump administration during the ‘No Kings’ national rally in downtown Los Angeles, California the other day, on the same day as President Trump’s military parade in Washington, DC. Tens of thousands of protesters rallied nationwide against Trump ahead of a huge military parade on the US president’s 79th birthday—as the killing of a Democratic lawmaker underscored the deep divisions in American politics.
