Protests setup Across America as Trump’s ‘Fascist Agenda’ Sparks Outrage in Major Cities
After Donald Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris to win a second term in the White House in the 2024 presidential election, protests against him began in a number of major American cities on Wednesday. Trump won because he received more than the required 270 Electoral College votes. According to Newsweek on Thursday, November 7, 2024, he pledged to “put our country first” and to usher in a “golden age” for America in an early victory speech.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
Despite these assurances, thousands took to the streets in protest, decrying what they perceive as a return to divisive policies.
In cities like Chicago, New York, and Philadelphia, groups of protesters gathered to voice their disapproval.
In Chicago, outside the Trump International Hotel and Tower, a crowd chanted, “Donald Trump, you fascist clown,” a refrain captured in videos shared across social media.
Protesters carried signs with messages such as “End the Trump Era” and “Trump Out!” This demonstration was part of a broader rally planned not only to denounce Trump’s victory but also to protest U.S. support for Israel’s military action in Gaza and what organizers termed Trump’s “racist reactionary agenda.”
During his campaign, Trump had expressed support for a range of controversial policies, many of which mirrored his first term’s initiatives.
He pledged to reinstate the “Remain in Mexico” program, impose strict health-related restrictions on migrants, and consider severe limitations or outright bans on immigration from certain majority-Muslim countries. Trump also proposed the largest deportation program in U.S. history if re-elected.
Additionally, Trump’s stance on the Israel-Gaza conflict has drawn scrutiny. While he has been a staunch advocate of Israel, even urging them to “finish the job” in Gaza, he also campaigned on a promise to bring peace to the region.
This contradictory approach has left some uncertain about what direction his policies might take on the matter.
Protests were pre-planned, with organizers emphasizing that they would proceed regardless of the election outcome.
A statement from one group read, “This rally was called well before presidential election results as, regardless of the outcome, the genocide in Gaza won’t end as both the Democrats and Republicans have shown themselves to be united in their support of Israel in its genocide on Palestine.”
The message underscored that protests would continue, directed at resisting “the racist reactionary agenda of [Trump’s] forthcoming administration.”
Organizers laid out their demands, which included a call for a “free Palestine,” an immediate arms embargo on Israel, and an end to U.S. military aid to Israel.
Beyond these international issues, protesters raised domestic concerns as well, chanting against police violence, calling for immigrant rights, reproductive rights, LGBTQIA+ protections, and the right to unionize and strike.
“Stop police crimes! Community control of the police now! Immigrant Rights and Legalization for All!” read one group’s rallying cry on Instagram.
In New York, a protest organized by the group Philly Socialist Alternative gathered at Cadman Plaza Park in Brooklyn. A post by @protest_nyc described the crowd’s chants, which ranged from calls for Palestinian rights and gender equality to peace and police reform.
The organizers, who operate under the slogan “FIGHT TRUMP AND THE FAR RIGHT!” used social media to explain their mission. “Trump and the far right pose a danger to working people in the U.S. and around the globe.
We urgently need to build a fightback…to fight Trump’s reactionary agenda of war, deportations, oppression, and bailouts for billionaires,” they said, calling for strikes and walkouts to counter Trump’s policies.
Protesters in Philadelphia also gathered outside City Hall, with their focus on resisting what they describe as the “dangerous agenda” of Trump and his allies.
Across social media, users shared footage of the rally, capturing the participants as they held signs and banners calling for a halt to Trump’s re-election policies.
As public response to Trump’s victory unfolded, some questioned what this new term would mean for the nation’s trajectory on both domestic and international issues.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>

Ahmad Khatami, President Erdogan Will Pay The Price For This Betrayal Against Muslims
According to Iran International English, a member of the Assembly of Experts of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ahmad Khatami, said, “Erdogan will pay the price for this betrayal against Muslims—one day, they [Muslims] will come for him. Israel’s influence in the region is a shared threat to the entire Islamic world, not just Iran.”
On the other hand, the President-Elect of the United States of America, Donald Trump, said that nobody knows what was going to happen with Syria following the fall of the administration of the President of Syria, Bashar Al-Assad, but he thought Turkey was going to hold the key to Syria. He also commended the administration of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey for partnering with the armed group opposing the Assad regime to oust the regime.
It was learned that following the fall of the administration of the President of Syria, Bashar al-Assad in Damascus where armed groups led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) took control of Damascus, many prominent people from the Middle East, especially the Islamic Republic of Iran, blamed the administration of the President of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan in partnering with the armed group opposing the Assad regime to oust the regime.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>

According to Khamenei: Israel Will Be Uprooted from Existence as They Attempt to Encircle Hezbollah Through Syria
Addressing a gathering of women, Khamenei emphasized that the so-called “axis of resistance” is far from defeated despite changes in the Syrian landscape. “The spirit of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah is alive; the spirit of Sinwar is alive,” he declared, referring to the leaders of Hezbollah and Hamas who have been targeted by Israeli forces.
Khamenei’s remarks came amid chants from the crowd calling for the destruction of America and Israel, reinforcing the ideological commitment to resistance against perceived adversaries. He noted that while the bodies of leaders like Nasrallah and Sinwar may be gone, their beliefs endure, ensuring that their paths of resistance continue. “They are attacking Gaza and taking martyrs on a daily basis, but they are still standing, they are still resisting. Lebanon resists,” he stated, highlighting the ongoing conflict and resilience in the region.
The Iranian leader criticized Israel’s strategy, claiming that the Zionist regime believes it can prepare to encircle Hezbollah through operations in Syria. However, he countered this notion by asserting, “But the one who will be uprooted is Israel.” Khamenei’s comments reflect a broader narrative within Iranian leadership that frames Israel as increasingly vulnerable and isolated in its regional ambitions.
This rhetoric underscores Iran’s commitment to supporting groups like Hezbollah and Hamas as part of its strategy to counter Israeli influence in the Middle East. The speech also serves as a reminder of the volatile dynamics at play in the region, where military confrontations and ideological battles continue to shape political landscapes.
Khamenei’s assertions come at a time when tensions between Israel and Hezbollah remain high, with both sides preparing for potential escalations. Analysts suggest that Iran’s backing of Hezbollah is part of a larger effort to maintain its influence across the region, particularly in light of recent conflicts involving Israel.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
