‘Free America’ anti-Trump protests held on Independence Day
On the nation's Independence Day holiday, major protests were held around the country against President Donald Trump under the banner of ‘Free America’.
The organizers chose the slogan in order to free America from the grip of the nation's oligarchs, from the mass layoffs of government workers and from the flood of executive orders, which increasingly appears to be how Europe and the United States manage their democracies
Free from not following the constitution ... our country was founded on the separation of powers, and the Congress is supposed to have powers of war and budget and not the presidency.
And so basically, what I want is us to start following the Constitution again and free from like oligarchs buying an election like Elon Musk.
Protestor 01
Trump signed his controversial $5 trillion tax cut mega bill into law, dubbed his “Big, Beautiful, Bill”.
In exchange for significant austerity cuts to social services, reduced food aid for the poor and the loss of medical insurance for nearly 20 million people, the bill increases war spending and drastically cuts taxes for the wealthy.
The University of Pennsylvania has recently shown that the effects of the budget, the reconciliation package, is going to redistribute wealth from the bottom 60% of the population of the American population, up towards the top 1% of the population.
So I don't think that's a good policy.
I think it's going to adversely affect the people that need a break in this society.
Protester 02
So many protesters demanded that Trump learn from his failed strikes on Iran's nuclear energy program and cease fomenting war with Israel in the region.
I don't think he ever should have gotten started with this.
I mean, I don't know, but I don't want to be supporting Israel, a genocidal regime. Israel strikes into Iran, and then Trump followed suit.
It's ridiculous. We don't need to be dragging ourselves into a war in Iran.
We just got out of the Middle East (from) a lot of places.
Protester 03
Trump's approval rating has dropped to 40% reflecting a drop of 10 percentage points over the last three months, with high-profile immigration raids and the failed war against Iran often cited as the primary drivers.
The White House boasted that the "Big, Beautiful Bill"'s more than $1 trillion in assistance cuts makes it the largest spending reduction to the nation's social safety net in history.
