Between 2017 and December 10, 2024, 15 anti-government protests were recorded in the United States. Police brutality protests, motivated by ongoing police brutality against communities of Black people, had the highest estimated peak number of protesters within this time period, at 1 million. "Telegramgate" yielded the second-highest estimated peak number of protesters, many of them Puerto Ricans, in response to a leak of racist, homophobic, and misogynistic messages sent by Puerto Rican government officials on the messaging app Telegram.
