Thousands took to the streets across the US to protest recent actions by President Donald Trump.
Known as "50501", for "50 protests, 50 states, 1 movement", the demonstrations were intended to coincide with the 250th anniversary of the start of the American Revolutionary War.
From outside the White House and Tesla dealerships and at the centres of many cities, protesters expressed a variety of grievances.
Many called for the return of Kilmar Ábrego García, who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador.
Political protests are becoming more common in the US, with the "Hands Off" demonstrations in early April drawing massive crowds, as polls suggest Trump's popularity is faltering.
The protests addressed a number of Trump actions, including those by the the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge) - Trump's initiative to cut US government jobs and other spending - and the administration's unwillingness to bring about the return of Ábrego García, a citizen of El Salvador.
