Thousands gathered in front of state capitols across the U.S. on Wednesday to protest against the Trump administration’s aggressive moves to reshape the federal government and American society.

The big picture: Demonstrators nationwide rallied against a slew of policies instated by the president less than three weeks into his term, with protesters denouncing his comments on a U.S. “take over” of Gaza, his immigration crackdown, anti-trans orders and Elon Musk’s role in the White House.

Zoom in: The demonstrations were initiated by an online movement with the hashtags #buildtheresistance and #50501.

The movement calls for 50 protests in 50 states in one day.

Zoom out: The resistance response to Trump’s 2024 victory had so far been more muted than in 2016, when his win sparked shock, outrage and massive nationwide protests.
