'Make democracy great again': Thousands protest against Trump at rallies in every US state
Thousands of people gathered in various cities across the US as protests against Donald Trump and Elon Musk took place in all 50 states on Saturday.
The "Hands Off!" protests were against the Trump administration's handling of government downsizing, human rights and the economy, among other issues.
In Washington DC, protesters streamed on the grass in front of the Washington Monument, where one person carried a banner which read: "Make democracy great again."
Here in the UK, we saw something similar after the Brexit referendum, although at the time we may not have seen it as a growing international trend in supposedly democratic regimes.
Maybe these US defenders of democracy are after a version of Keir Starmer's proposal in 2018, a second vote if the first one doesn't go your way -
Sir Keir told Labour activists if a general election was not possible "then other options must be kept open".
"That includes campaigning for a public vote," he said.
"It is right for Parliament to have the first say but if we need to break the impasse, our options must include campaigning for a public vote and nobody is ruling out Remain as an option."

Not quite so catchy is it?
Very true, Keir. And if that doesn't give the correct result, people can always riot in the streets or post stuff online.
DJ - not so catchy, but more accurate. Perhaps we can't have both.
Sam - or just screech other options through a megaphone.
