Peaceful protest to demonstrate discontent/resistance to an unlawful Administration which is devastating our Democracy! To act uncivil, aggressive, do otherwise, would defeat the purpose of our objectives/purpose! People power will prevail!
WE THE PEOPLE can streamline the government, today. We start by eliminating the president and vice, the GQP Congress and GQP SCOTUS members. Their wages will stop and so will the damage to our government. What say you America? Let’s hold an emergency election and vote them off the planet!
This is the power of peaceful protests.
We matched in the pouring rain in Binghamton, NY. Everyone was friendly, respectful and enthusiastic.
It was an uplifting but wet day. Yes, I was cold but my heart was warmed by seeing the big turnout.
i saw somewhere that NYC police were not expecting the crowd the got and only had 44 officers deployed to cover it. volunteers managed the crowd movement. The police were pretty psyched it was such a nice crowd. well done NYC, because we all know you guys can rumble with the best of them!
I was in NYC and we only saw 2 Trump supporters on the whole route. The only other angry people were probably the motorists who couldn’t get cross town.
Having lived on both coasts after being born and raised in SoDak, I can tell you it’s always been that way and will never change. Time zones. We’re in bed here in Boston before your numbers are counted. Same with elections. Numbers come the next day.
Yes, unfortunately, but the media could bother to include us West Coast folk--especially when the elections hang by a thread--usually OUR thread, for instance, b4 they jump the gun to announce the Presidential winner. Extremely frustrating!
Was out yesterday & now invigorated, encouraged, hopeful, ready to go again! I encourage those sitting on the sidelines, unsure if they should, to show up next time! Feels great being w a large group of people who also get it. Cops on hand to protect from trouble, but very peaceful. I felt safe.
amazing.. but not an assault on democracy either.. more trying to save it..

Because we aren’t ruled by our emotions! We are going to win this and doge Elon and Trump will be a memory. JD will run like Paul Ryan ran. The racism and misogyny will go back underneath a rock.
And that's why it will be ignored.
In the UK the Brexit marches were full of nice middle-class people; no one looked ready to burn down Parliament.
They were ignored.
Until they fear you, they will ignore you.
What an unfortunate day for no change to occur.. does the rancher consider the opinion of the heard of cows? NO, for they are lesser beings in the mind of the rancher, so too does this administration see you as a herd of cattle.. and no amount of chanting will make your voice not sound like a moo.
And the pityful maga’s can’t handle it: it’s frames, they are hired civilians or hired actors.
They feel the threat, while it was peaceful from beginning till the end. In france they say: chapeau! (Meaning: well done & respect) 🙏🏼
When you have fear, hatred, guns, bear spray, tactical gear, tie straps, gallows, and hockey sticks,....you probably don't think that protest signs really matter that much.
Protest signs are for fighting woke wars. You know, like the one where Gandi beat the British by going all woke on them.
My best friend of 30 yrs voted for 🍊 & I cut her off. Well she texted me from her daughter’s phone & was telling me how sorry she was that she didn’t listen to & that she just didn’t think he’d do the things I told her would happen. That’s not enough. How do I forgive a vote against my family!
Thank you! This woman held my hand when I found out that I had lost my twins at 15 weeks. She watched my daughter marry her Uruguayan husband & wished them a beautiful then she voted for someone who doesn’t care if you here legally or not he wants to deport everyone who isn’t white!
The conundrum is real. I have a sibling that has gone down the rabbit hole and I literally grieved because the change has been so stark. I try to retain a relationship but all respect is gone.
She actually did a virtual protest & then yesterday she went to the protest in Tampa. She told me that she’s been googling how can he be removed. I’m scared bc she literally voted against my family & that broke my heart. I love her bc that doesn’t just go away.
You are right bc I swear she was the best, best friend. I once got addicted to pain meds bc of an accident. This woman dropped everything to be by my side through the withdrawals. She helped with my children, dinners, laundry I mean everything. I don’t know how they got to her💔💔
Download an app called Straight Arrow News. It shows what right left and center are reporting on. The screenshot shows why the right isn't off the kool-aid train yet. The news to REALLY impact them they do not receive from the propagandists. They have no idea what is really happening.
Yes and that's curious don't you think? I think it's because in reality the impacts are touching everyone, especially since the tariffs were placed. Every single person is impacted by that. Second there was a lot less police.
They didn't have black and brown to target so they didn't need riot geared police. See how that worked out? White people aren't the "threat". You have the ability to protest without peace keepers. That's never been true for blacks. Look back through history at black protests. Dogs and water hoses.
Why are you being so smug? I didn't say there would never be violence. I said why I thought it was peaceful. You'll note I said less police as a contributing factor. Most of us are aware of the p2025 plan.
I think for now, that is intentional. They dont want too many eyes on the protest. The problem isn't there if they ignore it. They also likely don't want to trigger a greater uprising. When that happens, i expect wartime/martial law to be announced. Everyone will be called domestic terrorists.
A protest is a single action not necessarily interfering with the operation of the government. An insurrection is an attempt to overthrow a government, typically by force. A couple of protests aren't going to be enough to stop this. Direct action that is disruptive is going to be necessary.
hmm, you know maybe that is a good thing, but if the other side is the only side willing to fight, go to jail, or even die for what they believe in, we may have already lost this thing. To fight for change within the approved methods of the oppressors, doesn't usually work. Good Trouble is needed
Good trouble needs to be strategic, if violent in any way—Luigi-level strategic—and not associated with random violence that could inspire military intervention. It's good that average Americans are coming out in massive numbers and peacefully protesting.
Yes, but do the capitalists that want to oppress us care that we are on the street corner screaming. It makes us feel better, but will it create change. All advancements in our rights came from breaking unjust laws to some degree. If we don't make their lives uncomfortable, they won't care.
It's about the kind of change that would be created. Calling a state of emergency and using random violence as an excuse to bring out the military won't make them change laws in favour of the American people. These guys are comfortable with violence.
its true, they are. So perhaps we let them know we are comfortable with it as well. If they think they are the only ones willing to use violence (broad term, financial violence is still violence), then they have no reason to change. If they think they are the more powerful why would they
Don't be comfortable. Be strategic: Engraved-bullet strategic. Boycot-Tesla strategic. Inconvenient-strategic. Media-strategic. Embarrass-tRump strategic.
—Almost guaranteed there are already provocateurs gearing up for the violence part.
Cowards, every member of the media who not show up to report on this momentous occasion, when the people of the United States of America stood against tyranny! Sounds familiar.. didn't that happen before in your history that you share so freely??? 🇨🇦
Good coverage on my local channels, and some mention on Meet the Press. But wow sitting through that AG sec interview was painful. Now listen the bottom line is everything good is trump, everything bad is Democrats, even Jake seemed perturbed, and he lets republicans say anything.
not nearly enough coverage. shots of people holding signs, not the absolute mass of humanity that was gathered in huge and small cities across America. been waiting and watching … where is the actual, truthful media coverage?? #handsoff
Totally agree. Reports saying "thousands" of protesters across the country, which even based on the initial registered attendees of 600,000 is intentionally minimizing
The protest here in Carson City, NV went from 12 to 3. There was a police presence but they looked bored & later reported no incidents. We went to outdoor cafe seating across the street a little before 3 and watched the crowd of 7,000 completely disperse at 3 pm leaving no trace & no litter.
I was just saying that after a beautiful day. We had a truck drive by numerous times and a few unhappy Trump supporters flip us off but no trouble or violence. That’s how it’s done not by violence, crimes and pardons.
Super peaceful in Grand Rapids, MI. Thousands of people downtown, rally, then a march, and the only time I saw GR police was when we crossed some streets during the march. This was democracy in all it's glory. NOTHING like an insurrection by morons.
In Chicago yesterday a brave soul left their Tesla parked on a street used for the Protest March, and no one touched it. In fact, ppl made a wide path around it. There were plenty of snarky comments, but it was HandsOff☮️
Wait, I bet in the next few days, the right and Fox News will make up stories that it was a violent protest and the deep state paid all 3 million plus to show up by Soros..
Time will tell. For a number of reasons, mostly related to preservation of mental health, I choose to view the next 4 years as an extended opportunity for the depraved maga lot to show the world their collective ass and out themselves.
They appeared to be so rational after 1/6. If they are allowed just one more overthrow attempt maybe then the world will know that we are run by Nazis.
Have you talked to anyone outside of the US lately? Asses shown.
I do live outside the US, while it's recognized in most places, too many politicians here in the UK, Canada, rest of Europe etc. are happy to parrot Trump's language and tactics. If the example is comprehensive economic, military and diplomatic failure, maybe that changes.
Wow, well done America, but be vigilant, you can bet sooner rather than later, they will start to infiltrate the protests with agitators to spark violence and give them the excuse to pushback with the National Guard or even martial law 🤬
Or they just ignore it.
"Let the children play peacefully. They won't do any harm. It's just an outlet for their emotions. Once they let it out they will be calmer."
After what happened at the capital I’m going with my option.
They were expecting resistance that day to turn it into a bigger riot than it was. Then he could have called for martial law and halted the count 🤷♂️
His ego took a hit, though I am sure he will be insulated from it by his handlers. They will play it down. As a narcissist, I don't think violence gets through to him more than not being liked.
For extensive coverage of the protest or just plain truthful news reporting, check out MTN Meidas Touch Network. Its all the stuff Corporate media doesn't want you to see.
Yeah but the storming of building and breaking some shit will need to happen if this is going to be taken seriously- no need for cops to get hurt - but trust me this summer it’s about to get real and it is what’s necessary
It is what's necessary for him to declare martial law,also. They're just waiting for it to get violent. It may be HANDS OFF our freedom, but it's also a good reminder of what needs to happen to keep these protests going.
Trust me he will over react and it is coming on both sides , sometimes a bit of disobedience is what’s needed from the masses much like in late 60’s , playing nice being civil is what’s gotten us here in this mess -every so many decades you eventually gotta break some shit to get people’s attention
That’s not the flex you think it is, I’m sure there are some very hurt feelings out there. Imagine we had been POC, how you think things might have gone? They would have been just as peaceful…….but the govt can be intense when the folks are a bit darker than what we saw, but I get your point.
i have been pointing out to maga's that they are just like people who smeared poop on the capitol walls. they don't respond to that. i really do need to stop trolling though. love and light. love and light. love and...
It was an awesome peaceful protest that somehow MAGA will claim violence and damage came out of it. Oh…. and that Soros somehow paid 3.5 million people to show up. 🤔
I think we are past caring anything about what the MAGAs think or feel. It is time to take back the narrative. Leave them to be the minority they really are. It is clear that they don’t give 2
💩💩 about the rest of America.
they are currently just trying to claim that soros paid everyone. and one guy was trying to say the protest in boston was fake footage of an old sports rally. but..sports rallies come with duckboats.
he was gravely outnumbered by the excited comments and solidarity in the chats. but yes. the stuff they have going on in that echo chamber is pretty surreal.

A lot of people understand that.
The huge rallies in 2017 were the precursor to the 2018 midterms where Repugs lost 42 House seats and the majority.
I think it will be, because people just saw the courage of 5 million people in the street and felt validated.
I'm guessing that in 2 months, you might really cross 10 million.
And next year, with 10+% unemployment, 30 million, easy
Snoop Dogg said it best: “We can handle this like some gentlemen; or we can get into some gangster shit.”
MAGA doesn’t fear us. We need to change that.
agenda were in service of the people of their community.
Trump pardoned these animals, called them patriots.

uh huh uh huh!!
We rock!
I suspect they will start counter protesting when their masters tell them to.
Fuck another app
You know they have mapped all that out at a minimum…
—Almost guaranteed there are already provocateurs gearing up for the violence part.
The OP is correct: the median age appears to be about 70, and that's across the entire nation.
I also notice an almost complete lack of black and Latino people.
It’s mostly people who continue to watch CNN, MSNBC and
They are completely brainwashed and indoctrinated by legacy media.
Most younger people have moved on to X, TikTok and other social media platforms.
That’s why it’s only old people at these rallies.
The Democrat Party may not exist in ten years.
what happened was epic. word needs to spread. what are CNN and msnbc doing? maybe saving coverage for Monday … ha
New York was packed, and the protests were Worldwide!

Have a look at my second reply
I'm not pleading for violence.
Civil disobedience, that's it.

If we have to fight them to stop the arson, we'll do so...!
Non violent protest benefits those in power
💩💩 about the rest of America.
George Orwell was right.
doesn't have that much money.
they love to point out the few billionaires who support democracy and equality. never cite the legions of oligarchs who pay them to tear it all down.
