We expected hundreds of thousands of people yesterday.
Instead, millions of Americans flooded the streets to demand an end to Trump’s authoritarian power grab.
Trump and Musk have spent their first 75 days in office trying to overwhelm us and make us feel powerless, but we’re not going anywhere.

Attended Collin County TX' Frisco TX Hands Off protest. Seeing the high number of attendees & the support/solidarity from a right-leaning County, was inspiring. We the people can/will stop the destruction of our Democracy by the Oligarchy. #HandsOff

@ruralfreedomnet.bsky.social @indivisible.org How will you measure, as well as provide in layman's terms, the "actual" change hoped for?
We need to sustain our efforts, and watch for signs of "weakness" (which is actually strength) in and GOP Members of Congress.
So unlike J6.
Also it’s super important to include all protesters, it’s pretty significant when small towns, a huge percentage of the population shows up.
And also Thank You
Can identify a total number of Americans participating in April 5 Hands Off protest?
I read once place that 1% of the USA population of 340 million participated or 3.4 million.
I was in NYC and it was huge

I haven't ordered from Amazon since last year.
Daily, if possible. Which requires sustenance, people chipping in funds, hygiene support, etc.

My mother-in-law is in her 80s & she wants to attend the next protest near her hometown. However, my MIL is much too far away for me to drive her. So, I need someone to drive my MIL to her local protest❤️

nonviolent campaigns are twice as likely to achieve their goals as violent campaigns. It takes around 3.5% of the population actively participating in the protests to ensure serious political change

3.5% Beats the 1% EVERYTIME

#HandsOff ALL of us in the U.S. in big cities & small towns & off our allies for democracy worldwide, too!
Many #HandsOffMN events statewide incl. 500 of us in the #WinonaMN area who rallied with @winonaindivisible.bsky.social. Thread:
"Sticks and stones will break my bones but names will never hurt me."
75 days of calling the Trump administration names hasn't and won't stop them.
Maybe time to try... something else.

Life can be so strange
when you're all alone
I tried to call you up
but you turned off your.... Phone....

also Elon: I'll pay you for your votes!
What’s next???!
Vitally important: MUST BE PEACEFUL to 1) not grant "permission" for Insurrection Act-type response and 2) invite more and more people into the push for change. I'm worried about False Flag violence that will taint the protests.
As positive as it was, I and many others have remarked on the relative absence of young people from the events.
Will there be efforts to engage students and young adults?
Very large show around Reid Park.
