people being in the streets means something. never let your cynicism convince you otherwise.

Knoxville TN showed up today, spread out on sidewalks every which way at a busy intersection. Lots of visibility, lots of supportive honking! #indivisibleknoxville #handsoff2025

Man, white people really eat up "peaceful" protest crap. I need y'all to put two and two together. No cops = equals peaceful. When there are crowds of predominantly white people protesting and they're called "peaceful", you're playing into the stereotype that Black people are violent which is BS.

It does seem interesting that some people were reporting there was barely any police presence at their rallies, and then I look at who was at those rallies based on the videos/photos, and it’s … mostly a sea of white people, many of them of retirement age.

A little shocking how little a story "PRESIDENT PURPOSELY CRASHES ECONOMY AND BRAGS ABOUT IT" is in America today.

Deep red Knoxville, TN. #handsoff #meidastouch #indivisible

Jeff Bezos bought MGM and it's subsidiaries along with a few local newspapers across the United States. Jeff Bezos is literally a James Bond villain.

She is an ICON

The American people have risen up and they are PISSED AS HELL. #HandsOff

still reeling from the unforced error of it all. less than 1/16th of his way into the term, shattering the world economy like a snowglobe under a sledgehammer for no reason at all. the sheer spectacle of it is horrifying and, like all horrifying things, captuvating. I can't think about anything else

This horrible disease stole my grandmother’s life in a long, cruel way. I am so angry at this administration’s disregard for science.

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

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!

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
