NEW YORK (AP) — Opponents of President Donald Trump’s administration took to the streets of communities large and small across the U.S. on Saturday, decrying what they see as threats to the nation’s democratic ideals.
The disparate events ranged from a march through midtown Manhattan and a rally in front of the White House to a demonstration at a Massachusetts commemoration marking the start of the American Revolutionary War 250 years ago. In San Francisco, protesters formed a human banner reading “Impeach & Remove” on the sands of Ocean Beach overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
Organizers say they’re protesting what they call Trump’s civil rights violations and constitutional violations, including efforts to deport scores of immigrants and to scale back the federal government by firing thousands of government workers and effectively shutter entire agencies.
Some of the events drew on the spirit of the American Revolutionary War, calling for “no kings” and resistance to tyranny.
Boston resident George Bryant, who was among those protesting in Concord, Massachusetts, said he was concerned Trump was creating a “police state” in America as he held up a sign saying, “Trump fascist regime must go now!”
“He’s defying the courts. He’s kidnapping students. He’s eviscerating the checks and balances,” Bryant said. “This is fascism.”

Wow, this is new.
Protestors show up to hear their protest praised in the echo chamber.
This is how the loser lefties spend their weekends.
I wonder what the hourly pay is?
Democrats haven’t been this upset since yesterday.
Yep. Same Soros paid, Karens, and liberal parasite boomers.
Like they could protest if it was a “fascist” state.
Funded by Leftist Soros and Co., most having no idea why they are there other than getting paid to be there.
And do it goes.
Do they get holiday pay for protesting this weekend?
Astro Turf retread protesters.
Those pig-headed dumbasses represent only a small minority of the citizens of the USA.
To them, I say: “No one cares about you. No one cares about your opinion. No one is listening to you, except yourself. Idiots!”
Several siblings of mine (all over 60) are participating in these protests in midwestern cities.
I said to my husband this morning, of one of the sisters, that just a couple years ago, she would have been packing the Easter baskets for grandchildren, and making her famous orange cottage cheese jello salad on the day before Easter. Now it seems to be more important to protest for the rights of illegal immigrants, massive wastes of tax dollars, and generally trying to condemn anyone who didn’t support Biden/Kamala regime.
“I wonder what the hourly pay is?”
I read somewhere it’s 40$/hr.
That’s why all the freaks, leftist losers and old hippies on social security are protesting. They’d get 120$ cash for 3 hours of chanting and holding signs.
I guess three hours of that will pay for a nose piercing and a couple of Hot Pockets.
The ass press doesn’t have the integrity to find out who is paying for these protestors.
WHO CARES..seriously I saw this same crap in 2017, just give them no mind they are brainless useless morons who are a waste of our air
😴😴😴😴. Heard there was something happening in Carson City today. Meh!
Are these the same pro Palestine protesters who refused to vote for Kammy?
Hilarious
No one cares about your astroturf nothing protests, Leftists.
We got more people for pop up Trump rallies in my edge suburban county most any weekend in the run up to Election Day 2024.
Have they fallen for the ruse of their SS being cut to shreds?
