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.

Thank you to everyone that marched in the Hands-Off protest yesterday. This movement is just getting started. The Russian Agent in the White House is destroying our county. This is what democracy looks like!!! Fight the power.

If the estimates are correct, 1% of the entire country was in the streets yesterday protesting the political system. See if you can find on A1

All Independents, Libertarians, Democrats and sane Republicans must vote the GOP out before they destroy the American 🇺🇸 dream and way of life.

Numbers don’t lie, but the big fat idiot in the White House does. America just lost trillions of dollars today. The 🍊 idiot doesn’t care about anyone. Resist! March in the streets! Vote 🗳️ in the midterms! Impeachment is the only option.

The Convicted criminal In-Chief is working hard to destroy the American 🇺🇸 dream. I’ve never seen a worse American president. Disgusting, immoral, criminal.
