On Presidents Day, thousands of protesters gathered in New York City, expressing their discontent with what they perceive as the authoritarian direction of the Trump administration. Starting from Union Square and moving to Washington Square Park, they voiced opposition to various executive actions taken since Trump's re-election. Protesters highlighted issues such as the threat to transgender rights and the erosion of checks and balances in government. Elon Musk was also targeted as part of the administration's controversial structural changes. Activist Jamie Bauer emphasized the importance of peaceful demonstrations in resisting what is seen as a growing authoritarianism under Trump.
We’re here today because it’s President’s Day. And instead of having a president, we appear to have a dictator who is having a coup. It’s his second attempted coup, and it is our job to stop that coup and make it an unsuccessful coup, and one of the ways we do that is to bring people out into the street to protest, said Jamie Bauer, Rise and Resist.
Thousands of New Yorkers took to the streets, protesting the second Trump administration's actions to gut the federal government, eradicate transgender rights, and undermine checks and balances.
Protesters targeted not only Trump but also billionaire Elon Musk, who many described as an unelected usurper working with Trump to transform America into an authoritarian nation.
It’s only been four weeks since President Trump took office for a second term, and Trump 2.0 has already flooded the zone with dozens of executive orders.
