Presidents Day means a day off for many across the United States, and hundreds of people in cities from New York to Los Angeles were using it to send a message to the current occupant of the White House.
"Not My Presidents Day" rallies were being held in at least a dozen cities Monday, continuing a weekend of demonstrations aimed at speaking out against President Donald Trump's policies and actions.
The rallies in Chicago and New York were held near the Trump International Hotel in both cities, each drawing hundreds of people.
Two people at the Los Angeles rally outside city hall interviewed on MSNBC said they came because they find Trump purposely divisive and untruthful.
A march and rally in Atlanta was called "ImPEACH NOW," a reference to the state fruit, and NBC affiliate WXIA reported that the march stretched five miles.
Hundreds or thousands of people were expected at each rally. There were no reports of arrests at any rally as of 3:30 p.m. ET.
Earlier in the long weekend, demonstrators nationwide had rallied against Immigrations and Customs Enforcement raids, while New York City held a rally in support of Muslim Americans and scientists rallied in Boston urging Trump to recognize climate change and tackle environmental issues.
With five straight days of rallies and demonstrations, and more planned for future weeks, some activists are warning of potential "resistance fatigue." As NBC News reports, the "trendiness" of talk about "resistance fatigue" can be traced to a Medium essay published in January by Google engineer Yonatan Zunger, who wondered if tiring out Americans was the motivation behind Trump's nearly nonstop battery of executive orders.
"It wouldn't surprise me if the goal is to create 'resistance fatigue,' to get Americans to the point where they're more likely to say, 'Oh, another protest? Don't you guys ever stop?' relatively quickly," wrote Zunger.
That fatigue doesn't appear to have set in yet; still, some movement leaders are preemptively urging demonstrators to manage their energy and get enough sleep, among other things.
"This work is exhausting," Linda Sarsour, Executive Director of the Arab American Association of New York and one of four national organizers of the January 21 Women's March, told NBC News, and "under this administration it's proving difficult to take care of our physical and emotional well being."
"But we must," Sarsour added, "Because this is not a sprint, it's a marathon."
Sarsour has used Twitter to remind her 173,000 followers to take care of themselves and "EAT, DRINK WATER."
Trump was at his Florida estate, Mar-a-Lago, on Monday, from where he announced that he'd tapped Army Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster to fill the role of National Security Adviser, which the resignation of Michael Flynn left vacant.
He didn't address the rallies, but did tweet "HAPPY PRESIDENTS DAY - MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!" along with another tweet reiterating his claim that Sweden is being hurt by immigration. It is based on a Fox News report and refuted by many in the nation.
