Nathaniel Smith, 36, breached Trump Tower in New York City and defaced Donald Trump's presidential placard with neon green spray paint, reading "USA" across it. Smith, a member of environmental group Extinction Rebellion, was seen calmly committing the act as onlookers watched. He stated that his actions were a plea for the country to overcome government institutions causing climate collapse.

Thousands of people across the US protested President Donald Trump’s recent actions on Saturday, with demonstrations taking place in cities and outside landmarks such as the White House and Tesla dealerships. The protests, known as "50501", coincided with the 250th anniversary of the start of the American Revolutionary War and addressed various grievances including the return of mistakenly deported citizen Kilmar Ábrego García and the Department of Government Efficiency's plans to cut government jobs and spending.

A frustrated resident, Morgan Cox, set up a tent outside Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's $4.3 million holiday home in Copacabana, NSW, protesting Australia's housing crisis. With a sign reading "Everyone deserves a home Albo!", Cox, a father-of-three, expressed his frustration on behalf of 3.5 million Australians facing poverty or homelessness, and called for the government to listen to their concerns.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese was verbally confronted by two men at a Melbourne hotel lobby while speaking with his media staffer Fiona Sugden. The incident was taken credit for by alt-right groups Melbourne Freedom Rally and Tactical Force Combatives, and involved a man approaching Mr. Albanese and asking him a question about affordable housing, to which he did not respond. A member of the Prime Minister's security entourage then intervened to end the exchange.
