Thousands of protesters took to the streets in cities across the nation on Monday, which was President’s Day, to rage against President Donald Trump and Elon Musk.
The protest was titled, “No Kings Day.” Organizers focused on major cities including Washington, DC, New York City, Orlando, Seattle and Boston.
In New York City, thousands marched in the street, carrying signs about every liberal cause could think of, and yelled multiple chants including, “No one voted for Elon Musk,” “Stop the GOP Coup,” “Trans Lives Matter,” “People over billionaires,” and more.
The radical group, Rise and Resist, reportedly organized the protest in New York City.

Another huge protest took place outside the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C.
RAWSALERTS wrote, “Currently, thousands of protesters and activists have gathered near the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C., for a massive rally against Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and President Trump’s policies. The demonstration is part of the 50501 movement, which organized protests in all 50 states to oppose recent government actions. Demonstrators can be seen carrying signs and banners, are chanting slogans such as “Gulf of Mexico” in response to its renaming as the “Gulf of America,” as well as “Stop the coup” and “Elon Musk is a Nazi.” The protest, which has drawn people from across the country, is one of many planned demonstrations, with major rallies expected to erupt in multiple cities across the United States.”

According to a post from investigative journalist Laura Loomer, the D.C. protest was organized by the Women’s March group, and some protesters were actually making death threats against President Trump and Elon Musk.
Loomer announced:
Anti-Trump & anti-@elonmusk protesters in DC are calling for someone to “Luigi Mangione” Trump and Musk at a protest that was organized by the Women’s March called “NOT MY President- No Kings In America National Action”.
This protest is happening right outside of the US Capitol. It was organized by @womensmarch.
As you can see, attendees include members of the Free Palestine movement and radical leftists who are calling for someone to murder aka “Luigi Mangione” @realDonaldTrump and @elonmusk.

Here’s the photo exclusively captured by @LoomerUnleashed @TheCharlesDowns today of a protester holding a sign that says “Elon, Don, Luigi Says: DENY, DEFEND, DEPOSE”.
Those are the words that were inscribed on the bullet casings from the bullets allegedly fired by Luigi Mangione to murder the United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson from behind in NYC.

Elon Musk responded, “Advocating murder of the President is a serious crime and they have the gall to do so on President’s Day! Letting @EagleEdMartin know about this.”
Ed Martin, who President Trump just appointed as the US Attorney for hte District of Columbia, replied, “Duly noted 👍. Threats against public officials at all levels – whether it be the president or a line federal worker – must stop. Our safe and beautiful capital city cannot be the home of such dangerous conduct from any side, at any time. We are on the case.”

Loomer posted a clearer photo of the protester and wrote, “Imagine being dumb enough to advocate for the assassination of President Trump and @elonmusk on PRESIDENT’S DAY. Cc: @SecretService hope you can find this guy. Terroristic threats is a CRIME.
“Threatening the president of the United States is a class D felony under United States Code Title 18, Section 871. It is punishable by up to 5 years in prison, and a maximum fine of $250,000.”

Responding to Musk, Loomer wrote, “Figured you’d say that, @elonmusk. That’s why we snapped a picture of his face. He was trying to cover his face when we recorded him today.”
“I’m sure AI facial recognition can figure it out, & then @SecretService can arrest him for making terroristic threats. You’re welcome.👇🏻”

Also at the D.C. protester, one person is seen dragging what appears to be an effigy of President Trump wearing prison clothes, with a noose around its neck.
