So proud of Trump stronghold Knoxville, TN for a massive turnout that stretches at least six city blocks! cc @hcrichardson.bsky.social @gtconway.bsky.social @mollyjongfast.bsky.social

Hey, @meidastouch.com, Lisa’s out here representing The Meidas Mighty here in Knoxville, TN! #HandsOff

Beautiful day for a protest in Knoxville, TN! #HandsOff!

Hands off in Knoxville, Tn www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8jLVeum/

Millions of people showed up in red and blue states, small and big cities, to say #HandsOff! Including my hometown crowd in Knoxville, TN 🙌

#HandsOff in Knoxville, TN!!! At least a couple thousand, and many more supporting from their cars!

Holy crap! Knoxville, TN turned out to protest.

Just a small part of the protest in Knoxville, TN today. I overheard one of the organizers say she thought it was between 5 and 10 thousand people. Not terrible for bright red East Tennessee! #handsoffprotests #indivisibleHandsOff #50501HandsOff #Knoxville #easttn

Knoxville, TN today. First estimates I've seen from media are saying ~1,200 participants, but. Not huge, but... 1. Very, very well organized. (How long have we been waiting for that?) 2. Truly unexpected amount of honk support from passing vehicles. It was almost continuous in this short clip.

Have you seen this? 👇 Thanks, Seth! ✨

This is our documentary moment. ❤️ Jane Fonda

Some experts fear that the Trump administration's recent moves on public health are setting the stage for a long-term measles resurgence in the U.S.

Y’all gotta go read books. There’s no way around it. Read books. Form your own opinions. LEARN THINGS. READ BOOKS WHILE LIBRARIES ARE STILL AROUND

apnews.com/article/trum... Trump’s out here swinging golf clubs while folks are in the streets fighting back. Voter suppression, wild tariffs, & straight-up disrespect for democracy—Folks are fed up, Trump & Elon. #HandsOff

This is why we protest

We’re building a #PeoplesMovement. Today, over 3 million people across the country stood up to say HANDS OFF our democracy. 
And history shows that when just 3.5% of the population engages in sustained, peaceful resistance—transformative change is inevitable. #50501movement #HandsOff #April5

I’d say it’s past time for this What are we waiting for? Who pushes this button? Is there a Batphone for this? #BlueCrew #ConstitutionalCrisis #WeThePeople #AllHands

Wow! Updated estimates now put turnout at 2.3 million — and we’re still waiting on reports from coalition members in other areas, with some events yet to begin! If you’re free, come out and join us. Over 1,400 events are planned across the country.

TODAY WE MOBILIZED OVER 3 MILLION PEOPLE ACROSS THE NATION!!! This movement has entered the next chapter: the people will mobilize again, and again, until we make a difference. It only takes 3.5% of the population in a sustained resistance in order to make a difference. #50501movement

To the world: We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom. —With love, Your American allies.

Thousands lined the busiest intersection into downtown Knoxville today to say Hands Off!

Amazing work today, everyone! Today’s protest was a success—two MAGA individuals were arrested for assaulting peaceful protestors, and three additional investigations are currently underway. We’ve also launched a new task force to investigate any incidents.

i have been joking that their plan is for your kids to grow up to work in a textile mill but they are serious

Today we march—nationwide! Join us and make some good trouble!

President Trump’s widespread tariffs include even tiny, sparsely populated islands that export close to nothing. Among the countries and territories listed on sheets of paper were two Australian territories near Antarctica where many penguins — but no people — live.

We already know that!

JUST IN 🚨: The odds of a U.S. Recession occurring this year just soared to 50% on Polymarket 👀👀

Crashing the economy is part of creating network states and switching our currency to crypto. Long game. It’s about making you a techno-serf.

If 47 tries to take Greenland, that would pit us against NATO. Now, who in the world would love for that to happen?

Must be nice to wreck the economy and the. f*ck off to Miami on the taxpayers dime

America is next.

Get ready ladies to fight like hell for our voting rights

How Luigi Mangione came to embody an American archetype: the outlaw-hero.

"Trump national security adviser Michael Waltz and staff used personal Gmail accounts for government communications, officials say." Lock them up!

WATCH THE MOMENT CORY BOOKER MADE HISTORY. Booker has now broken the record as the longest single-person filibuster speech in the United States Senate. The previous record was held by Strom Thurmond,who filibustered to prevent the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1957.

If you yelled "Lock Her Up" about Hillary's emails But you won't say "Lock Them Up" about Michael Waltz and Pete Hegseth and their Signal chats and Gmail Then you don't actually care about America at all

Trump was never joking about a third term — he’s simply socializing the idea as the final step in taking total control over our government. Trump is implementing Project 2025 to become a dictator like Putin. It is time we all open our eyes to what is happening.

Missed this, from @olliemilman.bsky.social, when it came out last week. It's a story that should be getting more attention, for all sorts of reasons, including the fact that the USDA is now crippled by cuts.

Susan Crawford, a liberal candidate for a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, overcame $25 million in spending from Elon Musk and defeated her conservative opponent Tuesday in a contest that became a kind of referendum on Musk and his slashing of the federal government. Read more: nyti.ms/42cKEgz
