In this op-ed, Liz McKenna examines the second ‘No Kings’ protest on October 18 and offers strategies for translating successful protest movements into influential policy change. She emphasizes the importance of sustained organizational efforts alongside protest activity to engage actors across partisan lines, building a broad coalition and a durable base for the movement. Archon Fung and Stephen Richer are joined by University of Pittsburgh’s Lara Putnam to discuss the recent No Kings protest movement. Many protests against Donald Trump took place during his first presidential campaign in 2016 (beginning in 2015) to his first presidency (from 2017 through 2021) to his third presidential campaign in 2024 (starting in... The demonstrations were mostly organized and made up of left-wing American citizens throughout the United States.

There have been occasional right-wing protests against Trump, notably about his close relationship with convicted child predator Jeffrey Epstein. Protesters were at times attacked by Trump-supporters and were sometimes violent towards Trump supporters. March 3 – At least 9 Scottish protesters associated with the group Plane Stupid daringly protested the expansion of Aberdeen Airport on grounds that private jets significantly contribute to climate change. Trump was planning an extravagant golf resort north of Aberdeen and financing growth at the airport to enable more private jets to land there. The protest included dressing in a mockery of Donald Trump's fashion and pretending to play golf on the runway. Johnny Agnew, who climbed on an airport building roof to help disrupt operations was quoted as saying: "The reality is that our generation's future is vanishing so that people like Donald Trump and his...

Harvard says Trump is waging a "campaign of retaliation" against the school. From targeting more than $2 billion in grants to seeking to block foreign students from being enrolled or entering the country, President Donald Trump's administration has taken a number of actions against Harvard University.

The school, one of the most prestigious in the U.S., calls it an "escalating campaign of retaliation." Here is a timeline of actions taken by the Trump administration targeting the university. The Trump administration sends a letter to Harvard's president saying that the school has "failed to live up to both the intellectual and civil rights conditions that justify federal investment" and demanding that the...

The historic number of No Kings Day protesters and their expansive geographic spread are signs of a growing and durable pro-democracy movement. This article was originally published in Waging Nonviolence. Contrary to conventional wisdom, the size and scale of anti-Trump protests this year have dwarfed those in 2017, and they have been extraordinarily peaceful. This article was originally published in Waging Nonviolence. After multiple presidential threats and millions cut in funding, the Trump administrations new action against the prestigious Harvard University is expected to leave other Ivy League institutes in a frenzy. The Donald Trump-led US government on Thursday revoked Harvard’s certification to host international students, leaving thousands on student visa drifting in uncertainty.

The revocation, ordered by US Department of Homeland Security (DHS), blocked Harvard’s access to the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS). This comes after the Homeland Security accused the university of creating a hostile environment for Jewish students, and promoting a pro-Hamas narrative through its protest culture and DEI initiatives. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said in a letter dated May 22 to Harvard University, “I am writing to inform you that effective immediately, Harvard University’s Student and Exchange Visitor Programme certification is revoked.”... While this comes as a big blow to the educational institute, this is not the first time that Donald Trump and Harvard have locked horns. The tensions between the US administration and the Ivy League school began days after Trump was sworn in as the President in January this year, with the conflict intensifying with each passing month.
