Protesters rallied in cities across the United States yesterday, Presidents' Day, demonstrating against President Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and what organizers call "the antidemocratic and illegal actions of the Trump administration." This "No Kings Day" protest was the second set of rallies organized by the 50501 movement (“50 protests, 50 states, one movement"), with more planned in the future. Gathered below are images of some of these rallies, ranging from Alaska and California to Massachusetts and Florida.
