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 truly don’t say this lightly, but I think we’re at the stage where violence is necessary. The owner class needs to understand that they’re wealthy because WE allow them to be. You don’t want to show a modicum of humanity? Fine, we’ll go back to the old ways where we drag your ass out of the house in the middle of the night.

    It didn’t have to be this way, the wealthy chose war while we’ve been begging for peace.
