Just to give you a sense of the political breadth of today’s #HandsOff event in DC today, I would like to note that there were people carrying the flag of Greenland there today.

There were probably more. It was hard to see how big the crowd was. I reposted a picture of someone who took a picture from the Space Needle a much better view than I got. That picture is only showing half the area, the other half had about half again as many people. Also people cycled through.
I'm just relieved Trump didn't find some excuse to start sending out National Guard or anything to any of the events today. I live in Asia and was afraid I was going to wake up to a feed of horror stories. Instead I am inspired.
I've seen calls for a protest April 19--two weeks from yesterday, and, as @rbreich.bsky.social points out, the 250th anniversary of the battles of Lexington and Concord that started the Revolution.
I had friends in Lisbon protesting today. The protest has been all over the world. Not a lot of media attention except on PBS from what I've seen. I hope wrong
Boston was huge!! over 100,000 estimated. It looked larger team that. Unfortunately, I was home, but what I saw was massive. Filled the Boston Commons, City Hall Plaza, the street were packed for miles. So proud of my Bostonians. The city which began INDEPENDENCE BOSTON STRONG. TEA PARTY. YOU GO!!!
His reactions to Canada, Panama and Greenland are very strange. Biden who I admire, regretfully had age catch up with him with vengeance during his 1st term and Trump is in clear mental decline.Republicans need to push MAGA out of their party
I wish one of your ads would depict trump and musk as Welfare Queens. You know, with a head wrapped in rollers, scuffy slippers and wearing a shabby old robe. Feet up, l watching rv and eating bon bons. Please? I think it would be hilarious and they'd both hate it. Please repost , Sky Riders.

🔴⚪️🔴 I went to the Washington, DC Hands Off protest today. I met a lot of Canadians, and there were many flags and signs saying, “Hands Off Canada!” 🇨🇦
Canadians, we’re with you. You have so many friends and allies across the US rooting for you. We’re making our voices—and yours—heard.

my son and I marched with a Ukrainian flag today in Raleigh NC. A man from Ukraine came up and then began conversing with him in Ukrainian! (we don't speak it)
J6, despite lies from the Repubs, et. al, was never a protest march. It started as a staging area for an armed mob at the Ellipse, then proceeded down Pennsylvania avenue where it assaulted the Capital building.
An estimated 5 million showed up today! 👏
Next confirmed Call to Action date: April 19th!! Why this date? It's the 250th anniversary of the battles of Lexington and Concord, which began the American Revolution = our war against the tyrannical power of Kings!!
There were pro Canada flags and signs in Roanoke, Virginia, too. We're very serious about our feelings towards our neighbors and don't like them being messed with! 🇺🇸❤️🇨🇦
No one likes him. I saw this pro Trump color book on clearance for $1.99. I placed a Trump "I did that" sticker on it because he's the reason it's on clearance. No one wants it.
We saw some good Candian representation in Fort Wayne, Indiana yesterday. I think reasonable people on both sides of the border know that the only way through this mess is to work together!
You are very welcome!! Solidarity forever, Solidarity forever, We stand with the Penguins when they face the tariff threats, and we all go waddling on! 🎶
Yes, our friends in other countries are supporting us too get out of the hole!!! Thank you, Greenland. And many more protests IN Europe and beyond!! Thank you! Not all of us voted for this dick! #HandsOff2025 #resist #WeAreTheResistance #StrongerTogether 🌊💙🇺🇸🏳️🌈🇺🇦🟦🧑🦼➡️
There is a huge protest in Rome GA a very red part of Maj Green's district. There are hundreds lined up and down the main street with Hands Off signs. AMAZING!
I just hope they were people who voted for him or didn’t vote at all. That’s the only way we will be saved is for more people to take their voting power seriously.
I was there! It was … invigorating! I made my first community contact at dinner later… directed a got to Indivisible so he’ll know whe the next one is!
We did that in Stamford, Ct too. A woman with a Canadian flag inspired us. We sang “Oh Canada”. I knew it from living in Toronto as a kid. Our daughter went to McGill in Montreal. Right now, I feel more Canadian than American.
That’s what I am thinking too. Let’s all have a completely bonkers revolution without hurting anyone. Just shame the shit out of people who should know better.
If it's DC, there are always bricks around, and it's not as "bait" or anything nefarious ... most of the sidewalks near the center are loose brick and there's almost always repair work in Spring after damage from snow/ice/frost heaves.
In Detroit, we had numerous Canadian flag bearers. Not that we wish any harm to Panama or Greenland, but Canada is the folks next door. Ottawa's closer to us than DC and way closer than Mar-a-lago.
Boomers grew to maturity in a world of protests—against the Vietnam war, for civil rights, for women’s rights, voting rights,for environmental protection (1st E-Day), for unionizing grad student teachers…it never stopped. NOT going to stand by & let wannabe dictator trump steal our rights back!
Yes, they did - and thank you! I grew up with a mom who protested these very same things. She has never stopped, and I am a proud kid. She was unable to attend yesterday due to physical issues. I called her from the protest in Santa Cruz, CA so she could participate in "person."

(Just teasing. I'm very proud of my neighbors to the north :-)
We are going to have to
deNazify Washington ourselves.
Nobody else can do it.

It's just not happening the way he was hoping.
He managed to piss off almost every possible interest group and unite them all against him.

So unlike J6.
And wouldn’t want to take the media’s focus away from tariffs 🙄

I think no. Not if the suckers ever plan to run for office again.

Everyone should have texted, called emailed all of them.
Or it’s homework for everyone for this week.
Harass & pressure them-let them know our anger.
(Mon morn QB-I know 🤦🏽♀️
Hoping China helps these United States out. Buy more American land, companies, and pork

Good for them........he wants to declare martial law anyway he can
Was worried about this beforehand
My idea is condoms filled with baby soap and gold glitter
quess why 🤣 Drop them on rooftops of homes from drones ......very hard to clean up that j/s
I just saw pictures of them stacked ....when others were just moving people along past them
Could have been put there to use too though ...just glad not used😸
