The indivisible protest in New York is at least 5x larger than they planned. They originally cordoned off the sidewalk+bus lane on 5th but they've had to close the whole street, and it's not enough.

Massive #HandsOff! rally in Portland, Maine against the billionaires' theft of our government and services!

Crazy inspired by @johnavlon.bsky.social's speech at the Hands Off 2025 Rally in Riverhead, Long Island!

#GVerse Huge turnout in the tiny town of Brandon, Vermont #HandsOff!

Gigantic crowd in NYC for the #HandsOff march against Trump, Musk, and MAGA. So many people that the participants can barely move along. Signs decrying Trump and Co. on many fronts: immigration, science, Social Security, reproductive rights, tariffs, autocracy, kleptocracy & the price of eggs.

PROVIDENCE… BOSTON… #HandsOff2025

#GVerse Buffalo, New York #HandsOff! Rally!

#HANDSOFF #protest #goodtrouble Palm Springs playing Cory Booker’s marathon speech on the loud speakers as Many thousands file in to protest! Let’s go! 💙

Boston #handsoff Massive crowd and incredible energy. Great speeches by Ed Markey, Ayanna Presley, and Michelle Wu.

Small towns all over the country depend on federal services — which is why they're pouring into the streets today to say #HandsOff! Here is Ames, Iowa 👀

Absolutely incredible turn out at MN State Capitol! #HandsOff

We see you all! Incredible turnout so far across the country — current estimates put participation at around 750,000 and counting! More accurate numbers are still coming in, with many events yet to begin.

😂 If you see three little old ladies in their eighties with "TRUMP IS A CUNT" signs at the Malibu Hand's Off, it's my neighbor and her posse.😂

New Haven, CT! #HandsOff

In NYC. #HandsOff

Massive crowd at Boston’s city hall plaza for the #HandsOff protest against Trump and Musk

Mr. Trump thank you for bringing back the oldest American pastime: coming together to tell the government to eat shit

⚡️ HAPPENING NOW IN NASHVILLE — giant line to get into the Senator @elizabethwarren town hall @marshablackburn hasn’t done one in 8 years, Hagerty has never done one. So Senator Warren is here.

Our @davidcorn.bsky.social reports live from Bryant Park in New York City. "People are here with many, many, many, many different issues talking about immigration, talking about Medicaid, Social Security, DEI, keeping libraries safe and open, protesting the attack on science..."

🇺🇸 Absolutely insane crowd here in Madison, Wisconsin — the Capital of Democracy! #Handsoff

Absolutely incredible! Protesters are lining both sides of the street for blocks in the tiny little town of Geneva, Illinois! It's estimated that around 5000 people showed up for the Hands Off! protest. Let's go!!!!!

Let's go Chicago!!!! Thousands of protesters showed up for the Hands Off! protest! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Trump has almost instantly put an end to US dominance of global capital markets.

Protest just getting started here in Chicago.

Raskin: We even have the right to call the president deranged for crashing our economy, destroying $6 trillion of wealth and turning our 401(k) Into a 201 (K). And the press has the right to call the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of Mexico.

Boston showed up and showed OUT today—raising hell and making good trouble for justice. Loud, proud, and unbothered by the haters. You heard us: #HandsOff our rights, our voices, our future. Boston doesn’t play when democracy is on the line.

Today, when hundreds of thousands are protesting, please take a few minutes to watch this video. Republicans are attacking free and fair elections in North Carolina to undermine democracy. youtu.be/8HfXI4d1byk

Raskin: They say the number of courts striking down trump's policies is completely unprecedented. So what? That's only because the number of his illegal actions are completely unprecedented.

Nero fiddled while Rome burned. Trump golfed while the economic crisis he created wrecked our markets.

Kickoff in Philadelphia. #handsoff

SUMMERVILLE, SOUTH CAROLINA ! Hundreds of folks out here to say #HandsOff !

#handsoff Birmingham, Alabama

Granted, it's NYT. But I wonder over how a piece as fundamentally stupid, or dishonest (or both) as this one finds its way into print. Trump has repeatedly stressed his adherence to the most regressive possible regimes of taxation, namely tariffs, as a way to stop taxation of the rich. Du-uh.

So proud of American Resisters today! #Handsoff

Just based on crowd sizes we’re seeing so far and the shear number of protests, the total number of #handsoff demonstrators could reach into the millions. And more protests in non US countries than expected.

The arguments here are legally sound, but court generally refuse to go behind presidential national security determinations. As I argued in an article in Wisconsin Law Journal, this is a dangerous legal conundrum. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

How shocking. Yet another avowed white supremacist as a reporter at Fox News. Aren't they all? www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Protesters are showing up in Cincinnati, Ohio for the Hands Off! protest!

Good early crowd here at the Washington Monument.

Huge crowd of protesters in Portland, Maine at the Hands Off! protest! Thank you, Maine!!!!

But, let’s not mince words. The threat we face is vast, coordinated and dangerous. Trump doesn’t run a normal administration — those follow the law. He runs a regime that’s wreaking havoc on our economy, democracy and national security and meant to enrich and protect himself and his friends.

Protesters in Columbus, Ohio are out at the Hands Off! protest! Thank you, Ohio!

Lawlessness is intentionally removing prisoners from the US courts' jurisdiction so you have no accountability when you deprive them of their rights and do other awful things to them. The thing you monsters forgot: The courts still have jurisdiction over YOU for doing that.

WOW: Thousands are currently protesting in Boston. This is just one of more than 1200 'Hands Off' protests underway today across the nation as people rise up against the Trump-Musk regime. (via Rob Way)

Minnesota lost a legend yesterday in wildlife photographer Jim Brandenburg. Gwen and I are sending our love to his family. Here’s his photo ‘Chased by the Light’ taken in Ely.

Trump still has the MAGA cultists, but the rest of his 2024 coalition is abandoning him

Why Europeans and Canadians are thinking twice about coming to Trump's America. - German tourist Jessica Brösche spent more than a month in detention, including eight days in solitary confinement - Rebecca Burke (UK) was trying to leave but was detained for 19 days

Among today's bizarre editorial decisions at NYT is the use of blue ink to reflect record-breaking losses (which by convention are shown in red ink)
