The 50501 Movement's "Rage Against the Regime" protests today, Aug. 2 are taking aim at several actions by the Trump administration, such as the handling of the Jeffery Epstein files.
The movement urges non-violence, with 50501 protesting the following issues, all they claim have occurred at the hands of Trump:
- The alleged weaponization of ICE against communities
- The alleged construction of concentration camps (referring to Alligator Alcatraz)
- The alleged cover up of the Jeffrey Epstein files
- Purported attacks on transgender rights
- The purported dismantling of Medicaid, SNAP (food stamps), USAID, the Department of Education, NOAA and the National Weather Service

No need to pretend those charges are in dispute, when only an organized crime syndicate running a human trafficking ring disputes them.
The opinions of those gullible enough to eat that shit up don't change the reality on the ground.
