Masses marched to the streets against Trump and Musk in the US-Gallery!
The organizers set three specific goals:
- Eliminating the political influence of billionaires and eradicating the corruption of the Trump government
- To stop social programs that are important for working people, such as Medicaid and Social Security
- To curb government attacks on immigrants, transgender people and other minority communities
Many NGOs, veterans, women’s rights groups, trade unions and LGBTQ+stakeholders joined the demonstrations. About 600,000 registered events were registered and demonstrations were held in London and Paris, according to Cnn.
There were several Democratic representatives in Washington. Jamie Raskin sharply criticized the president’s policy and compared it to the Italian fascist politician Benito Mussolini Trump’s driving style. According to Ilhan Omar, if people want to live in a country where constitution and community care still matter, they have to « fight for it. » According to Maxwell Frost Florida, the authoritarian powers are never satisfied, they are always pushing the boundaries – and now it is no different.
They went to the street because of more
One of the causes of the demonstration was that Trump-Musk’s government policy was carried out brutal downsizing. At the head of the federal government’s efficiency office, Musk calls for a radical reduction in public expenditure, which resulted in more than 121,000 federal workers. The USAid, which helps the poorest of the world, has virtually stopped and reorganizations are underway in the Social Security Office.
In the case of immigration measures, protesters highlighted massive deportation plans and the fact that in many cases there were incorrect decisions – for example, a Salvador man was mistakenly disrupted. In the field of climate protection Trump They would withdraw more environmental regulations while further building the future of the country on fossil fuels.
Representative Frost said: “The insidious rise of authoriterism is in America controlled by corrupt billionaires and giant companies”. One of the most echoed cases was the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil Palestinian refugees, whose green card was involved because he had attended a university demonstration.
There was also an armed incident
Although most of the events took place peacefully, in Lafayette, a car weapon took out during the demonstration after demonstrators stopped. The police eventually did not prosecute him for not targeting anyone.
