āNo kings on Presidents Dayā: Protesters rage across nation against Trump and Musk
Protesters in cities across America slammed President Donald Trump and Elon Musk to mark Presidents Day Monday in the wake of the DOGE dismantling of federal agencies.
Activists, largely organized by the 50501 Movement and various branches of Indivisible, were honoring āNot my Presidents Day.ā Demonstrators chanted āno kings on Presidents Dayā to protest the power grab by Trump and his billionaire hatchet man Elon Musk, whoās dismantling the federal government as head of the Department of Government Efficiency.
Protesters gathered at various city halls, state capitols and outside Tesla showrooms packed with Musk-made cars.
A sign in an office window above a Tesla dealership in San Francisco informed protesters about Musk: āWe hate him too.ā
One protester outside wearing a Musk mask flashed a āsieg heilā Nazi salute similar to the salute the tech billionaire used during a speech hailing Trumpās inauguration last month.
Protesters waving signs calling for āNo Kingsā and āResist Fascismā attempted to enter the Arizona Statehouse in Phoenix to oppose a bill that would dedicate local law enforcement to hard-charging federal crackdown on immigrants.
One of the signs amid hundreds of protesters in Washington, D.C urged: āDeport Musk Dethrone Trump.ā
More than 1,000 people gathered in the snow in frigid temperatures at the Massachusetts capitol building at the Boston Commons before marching to City Hall, chanting āElon Musk has got to go,ā reported WCVB-TV.
Boston protesters, some dressed in Revolutionary War-style clothing, carried signs railing: āThis is a Coupā and āCowards Bow to Trump, Patriots Stand Up.ā
One banner featured Uncle Sam saying: āI Want You to Resist.ā
āI thought it was important to be here on Presidents Day to demonstrate what America stands for,ā Emily Manning, 55, a Boston engineer who came to the rally with her two teenage sons, told The Associated Press.
āAmerican values are not the values of the plutocracy or the limited few rich people,ā she added.
Protesters also gathered at the Statehouse in Jackson, Mississippi. Several told WJTVtheyāre alarmed by efforts to reduce the role of the federal government and threats to Social Security and other benefits.
āLots of regular people who voted for Trump and have now, for example, lost their jobs or lost their benefits are realizing that, āOh, I didnāt realize that was what I was voting for,āā protester James Bowley told WJTV.
āTrump said on the very first day he would become president that food prices would go down. Of course, that didnāt happen. It was a big lie just to get a lot of people to vote for him,ā he added.
