Tens of thousands of protesters flooded major US cities and European capitals to oppose President Donald Trump's divisive policies, marking the largest demonstrations since his return to the White House.
Rallies targeted Trump's policies on government staffing cuts, trade tariffs, eroding civil liberties, and anti-abortion stances, with demonstrators expressing widespread anger and concern over his administration's impact.
Organized by groups like MoveOn and Women's March, these 'Hands Off' events highlighted a significant public backlash, even as Trump maintained popularity with his base and vowed no change in his policies.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
