‘Not My President’s Day’: Thousands Gather in Protest Against Trump (23 photos)

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. An American flag is flown upside-down during a "No Kings Day" protest on Presidents' Day in Washington, D.C., in support of federal workers and against recent actions by President Donald Trump and Elon Musk, on February 17, 2025, near the U.S. Capitol Building.
