Big crowds of protesters are expected across the United States against what some call authoritarian practices by President Donald Trump.

The protests come amid intensifying conflict between federal law enforcement and protesters nationwide. Some conservative politicians have condemned the protests as "Hate America" rallies, while others see them as a fight for First Amendment rights. Protests are planned in over 2,500 locations, from major cities to rural communities.

Madagascar President Andry Rajoelina has fired the prime minister and the rest of his government in response to days of deadly protests in the Indian Ocean island over the failure of the electricity and water supplies.

Youth-led protests against chronic electricity and water cuts began on Thursday, prompting the government to order nighttime curfews in the capital, Antananarivo, and other major cities. The United Nations human rights office said earlier Monday that 22 had been killed in violence around the protests.
