The first marches let people know they are not alone. The next marches show how many people are ready. The final marches make those in power listen.

In a world gone mad…remember.

We The People Resist Oppression and Oligarchy…

#HandsOff #50501 #Vermont #Montpelier #ThisBraveLittleStateSaysNoToHate Grateful to 1000's of fellow Vermonters for standing together in the cold rain to say no to fascist and cruel stupidity in every form it is arriving in.

Here in Princeton, NJ, a town of about 30,000 people, the crowd at the #HandsOff protest. Appeared to be about 1300-1500 people, as high as 5% of the population. It's the largest event I have seen in this public space.

Denver, Colorado #HandsOff

Hands off Atlanta Rally! #handsoff #HandsOff2025 #handsoffatlanta

Definitely the biggest protest I've seen in Portland since I moved here in 2018. #HandsOff

#Handsoff! Burlington, VT

#HandsOff Austin, Texas

Wow Chicago! #HandsOff #FiftyFiftyOne (🎥 Marco Foster)

NEW: Incredible scenes in Washington DC now. Tens of thousands on the National Mall for the #HandsOff protest against Trump & Musk. There must be over a million people protesting across every US state today. #FiftyFiftyOne #HandsOff2025 (🎥 Alejandro Alvarez)

This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.

I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff

yall we can’t collectively screech that “no one’s doing anything!” and then say “no not like that” when someone actually does something. is Booker’s filibuster gonna save the world? of course not. but since courage begets courage it could lead to more. I’m fucking cynical as hell but come on.

“For You, O Democracy”  — Walt Whitman, from Leaves of Grass “We the People,” the first words of the US Constitution, boldly declare the power and sanctity of democracy. The Constitution does not begin “In the Name of His Holiness,” nor “His Highness,” nor “The King,” nor “The Dear Leader,”

Tucson, Arizona today. Original projected attendance was 3,000 people. 23,000 showed up.

I hang my dreams in forests and other wild places on dresses made of the same linen I paint on.

Happy Equinox from La Hougue Bie! Thanks to the Sociètè Jersiaise and @jerseyheritage.bsky.social, so good to join them and watch the sunrise light up the interior of this huge Neolithic burial chamber. A special 6,000 year experience to mark the end of Winter. 🏺🇯🇪

I was just told that I have to remove “climate” from the title of an ongoing grant if I want to keep it. And publications from that grant cannot include “climate” and other forbidden words. I can’t believe I’m writing this from the United States of America. #AcademicSky

All websites that depend on NOAA data should display something like this. earth.nullschool.net

Witnessing change…but no longer on the side of what is right here in the Un-United States.

This. Here. Shame and disgust for the arrogant, small-minded bullying from two men undeserving of their positions of president and vice President of the USA. Long live 🇺🇦. Much respect for President Zelensky.

This feels reactionary, hysterical…and true. Comments on the thread mostly pile on with bluster, more hysteria and masturbatory “called in back in 2015/20/21”…but some good links to actual facts and articles and documents… **call the Congress and Senate to ACT NOW!

It’s the Gulf of Mexico. It’s Twitter. It’s Fascism. It’s an Oligarchy. They’re Nazis. He’s a convicted felon. It was an insurrection. It’s a coup. It’s treason. Words matter. Use the correct ones.
