: Thousands release finances
said Ms Waters.
She also criticised Friday’s announcement that President Donald Trump will not release the logs of those who visit the White House.
The White House cited “grave national security risks and privacy concerns” as the reason for its decision, reversing former President Barack Obama’s voluntary disclosure policy. Philadelphia Participants used the hashtag #showusyourtaxes to share their images on social media.
President Trump’s supporters have also gone online to express their support for the president.
One Twitter user accused protesters of “flogging a dead horse” and many said they had no interest in seeing the returns.
Separately, more than a dozen people were arrested in Berkeley, California, after supporters of Mr Trump clashed with anti-fascist demonstrators at a free speech rally, police said.
Several people were injured when fighting broke out at a park in the city as opponents and supporters of the US president met on the streets during Saturday’s protests, according to CNN.
Footage shared on social media showed crowds of people throwing items at one another and demonstrators being attacked with what appeared to be chemical sprays and makeshift weapons.
The incident occurred after hundreds of anti-Trump protesters staged a counter-rally alongside an event billed as a “Patriots Day free speech rally and picnic”, organised
22 killed as massive mound of garbage collapses
The death toll from the collapse of a massive garbage mound near Sri Lanka’s capital rose to 22 yesterday, and activists said some 20 more people could still be buried underneath the debris. Maj. Gen. Sudantha Ranasinghe, who is heading the rescue efforts, said authorities were struggling to determine exactly how many people were trapped under the debris due to a lack of information from the residents. Lawyer and activist Nuwan Bopage, who had worked with local residents in their protests to have the garbage dump removed, said about 20 people were buried under the debris. Military personnel were still searching the site in Meetotamulla, a town outside Colombo, the capital, and speaking to survivors to determine how many were missing. The tragedy occurred Friday evening as people were celebrating the local new year. A resident who identified himself only as Sanjaya said that he and others were searching for three neighbors - an elderly man, his daughter and granddaughter - who were buried under the collapse. Twelve people who were injured in the disaster remained in the hospital. Ranasinghe said 78 houses were destroyed and more than 150 were damaged. The site has been used to dump Colombo’s garbage for the past few years as authorities sought to give the capital a face-lift. But residents living in tiny homes in the area have protested against all the waste being dumped there because of health hazards. Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe said on Saturday that the government would soon remove the garbage dump from the area. He also said 625 people whose homes were either destroyed or under threat from the collapse were being housed in nearby schools.
