US Protesters Mark May Day With Hundreds Of Anti-Trump Rallies

Demonstrators across the United States gathered Thursday for May Day rallies against Donald Trump, protesting his administration’s policies and attempts to push the limits of presidential power.

The protests are being organized by a network of left-leaning activist groups, which say the rallies will take place in more than 1,000 locations.

High-profile demonstrations have been planned in major US cities such as Chicago, New York and Seattle, as well as in numerous smaller towns. Anti-Trump themes were also visible at May Day rallies across the globe, from France to the Philippines.

In Washington, where an entire day of marches is scheduled, some protesters set up large tents on the National Mall in the morning, calling for the Republican leader’s impeachment.

To date, there has been little effective response from Democratic elected officials against Trump’s far-reaching shake-up, and minimal mass mobilization by opposition protesters.

Elected Democrats “are falling down on the job, and they’re not doing what’s necessary to be done,” Peter, a retiree who did not want to give his full name, told AFP.

May Day, which is celebrated in many countries as International Workers Day, is not a public holiday in the United States, which celebrates its Labor Day in September.

The chief organizer of Thursday’s protests was the group 50501 — whose name is meant to represent 50 protests in 50 states and one movement — which has been behind previous calls to demonstrate.

A rally in Philadelphia organized by the AFL-CIO, America’s largest union federation, will be headlined by leftist Senator Bernie Sanders, who has been touring the country for weeks to mobilize opposition.

The demonstration, titled “For the Workers, Not the Billionaires,” refers to the exceedingly wealthy individuals who are part of Trump’s administration, including Tesla and SpaceX boss Elon Musk, who heads the so-called “Department of Government Efficiency” cost-cutting effort.

Riley Moore, a member of the United States House of Representatives from West Virginia’s 2nd District, has linked the absence of Christmas attacks in Nigeria this year to US military airstrikes carried out against Islamist militants on Christmas Day.

In a post on his official X account on Saturday, Moore contrasted the situation with the past two Christmas seasons, during which he claimed Christians were killed in attacks across parts of Nigeria.

The lawmaker noted that this year’s response targeted extremist groups instead of marking another period of violence.

He added that US forces acted decisively against militants in coordination with the Nigerian government.

“For the past two Christmases, Christians have been murdered in Nigeria. This year, thanks to @POTUS, Radical Islamic Terrorists were on the receiving end of 12 Tomahawk missiles as a present.

“The successful strikes on ISIS, in coordination with the Nigerian government, are just the first step to secure the country and end the slaughter of our brothers and sisters in Christ,” Moore wrote.

US President Donald Trump said on Thursday that American forces had conducted deadly strikes against Islamic State terrorists in north-western Nigeria.

Trump, who spoke via his Truth Social platform, warned that more attacks would follow if the militants continued killing Christians, adding that the Department of War executed numerous “perfect strikes.”

Earlier, the US secretary of War, Pete Hegseth had confirmed that military air strikes hit terrorists in Nigerians, saying it was deadly.

Later on, the US. African Command, confirmed that it conducted the attacks described as very deadly by President Donald Trump.

Trump said he was only keeping the promise he made earlier last month to strike the terrorists he believes are killing innocent Christians.

Although described as powerful and deadly, the casualty caused by the attack is yet to be released.

Explaining further, security expert, Brant Philip, said the strikes may have been launched “from the USS Paul Ignatius, using a Tomahawk missile.”

The Nigerian government through its ministry of foreign affairs has also confirmed that the strikes were successful.
