Some of the more than 100,000 people protesting the Trump administration's massive employment and funding cuts, and authoritarian seizure of power make heart signs with their hands, in Washington, U.S., on April 5, 2025. Most of the closures and cuts have been executed by Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), and numerous lawsuits have been filed to contest the constitutionality of DOGE and specific actions it has taken.

Black and red-clad rebels are walking near the protesters in front of the town hall of Toulouse, the Capitole. Extinction Rebellion - Toulouse is organizing an action called 'Hello Darkness' in front of the town hall of Toulouse, the Capitole, to denounce the controversial A69 highway between Toulouse and Castres. They are also protesting against the construction of several bitumen plants along the A69 near schools and organic vegetable producers. Some activists are receiving fake bitumen on them to symbolize the pollution caused by asphalt production. Police are intervening and have arrested five people. The main association 'La Voie est Libre' (i.e., 'The Way is Free'), along with other opponents, is demanding that the construction of the highway be halted until all judicial decisions regarding the project are made. The expropriations for farmers have not been resolved. Opponents of the project argue that the reprofiling of the N126 would be sufficient for the 6,000 vehicles expected per day and would cost significantly less money. The A69 highway is projected to cost EUR512 million (in 2018 euros, excluding inflation) for 54 kilometers, and its construction would destroy the habitats of more than 100 protected species and 400 hectares of agricultural land. In Toulouse, France, on May 4, 2024.
