On February 17, thousands of protesters took to the streets across the US to protest against President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk. This happened on the annual Presidents Day, making headlines across the globe.

People demonstrated in major cities, not afraid of freezing temperatures. In Florida and California, local media reported hundreds of people participating in “Not My Presidents Day” protests.
In Phoenix, people assembled outside the Capitol. Security blocked access to the building after some tried to enter it. In Boston, hundreds of protesters marched from the Statehouse to City Hall, chanting slogans against Donald Trump and Elon Musk.
