Thousands protest Trump, Musk's policies nationwide on Presidents Day

On President's Day, thousands of protesters across the United States rallied against President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk, who leads the controversial Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Demonstrations were organized by the 50501 movement, criticizing Trump's executive orders and policies perceived as authoritarian, with slogans like 'No kings on President's Day' echoing throughout major cities. In Duluth, MN, a co-organizer emphasized the need for transparency from DOGE, while protesters expressed concerns over immigration policies creating fear within immigrant communities. In Long Beach, CA, demonstrators voiced their discontent over Trump's actions, particularly regarding climate and immigration reforms, and echoed calls for impeachment. The protests highlighted a growing public sentiment against perceived threats to democracy and civil rights under the current administration. Nationwide, the events served as a platform for a diverse coalition united in their opposition to Trump's leadership and Musk's influence.
