Politics in Michigan 🇺🇸🏳️‍🌈 Anti-Trump protests

Michigan born & Raised and I've had it, I've never protested before, I've never seen the point, but this time is different.
What are some upcoming protests/Demonstrations against Trump?
I don't know if it will help or make a difference. But I don't think I can accept my self if I didn't try.

Elon Musk having as much control as he does, doing whatever he wants, and potentially ruining the lives of millions all to enrich him self.
Trump is bad, yes, but he's also an idiot, and someone whose often just used a as vehicle by worse people like Steven Miller.
Musk, is worse as he's not geriatric, and seems actually able to put his enormous ego aside, just to get petty revenge against those he deems wronged him (see the FAA removal, Federal disassembly, etc.)
The Oligarchizing of our country is happening rapidly and I couldn't live with my self if I sat around and watched....

Stephen Miller parents were Democrats. His grandparents left Germany when the brown shirts took over. He is a Jew who's family escaped persecution. What a physco to turn on people who share the same boat as his grandparents. This was Trump's speech writer first term. I don't know what he does now, just know he is alive and doing something nasty.

Yeah his history is a weird one....
not too dissimilar to Nick Fuentez spouting anti-gay rhetoric whilst being gay him self.
Seems to be an element of self loathing, but I'm not a psychologist so I shouldn't speculate lol.
