Demonstrators have gathered in cities across the U.S. to protest the Trump administration’s early actions.

Summary

Thousands protested across the U.S. against Trump’s policies, Project 2025, and Elon Musk’s role in the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

Demonstrators rallied against Trump’s immigration actions, rollback of transgender rights, and proposed forced transfers of Palestinians. Many expressed concerns over Musk’s access to Treasury data, fearing privacy risks.

Protests occurred in multiple state capitals, with arrests in Iowa and strong opposition in Alabama over LGBTQ+ policies.

Organized under #buildtheresistance, the movement signals growing resistance to Trump’s administration and its sweeping policy changes.

    I think you forgot the part where the Supreme Court declared that basically anything the president does is legal. Citizens United drove a stake through the heart of American democracy, and this latest ruling cut its head off.

        You would think so, but the Supreme Court is majority Republican and three of them were appointed by Trump.

        He has all three branches of the U.S. government under his control and they will never willingly give it up.
