On Monday, thousands of protesters across the country hit the streets to tell Donald Trump and Elon Musk “No kings on Presidents’ Day” in response to the barrage of alarming actions—from legally questionable executive orders to mass firings —taken by the administration since the inauguration.

Hundreds of demonstrators gathered in downtown Long Beach for a “Not My President” rally on Presidents Day to protest the Trump administration and Elon Musk’s role in it.

Discontent has intensified across the nation as the administration moves to lay off thousands of federal workers.
