Philly is LIT

Ocala FL today. Guessing 2000 people there. #50501 #Indivisible #HandsOff

HANDS OFF PROTEST PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA 🖕U TRUMP

Princeton turned out.

Also likely that those #TeslaTakedown protests that started over a month ago and grew and grew have helped to plant little seeds that make people open to participating in these larger protests. Mass movements don’t start big. They start small.

The Detroit Hands Off protest today stretched for miles, it was so powerful when we all realized that we were seeing the front of the protest looping back on the opposite side of the street when were 1.5 miles from the end. Glad a friend got video on her way to work, it really shows the scale.

1. Stop assuming people announce all their activism on social media. 2. Stop demanding people announce all their activism on social media. 3. Stop deriding people for not announcing all their activism on social media. 4. Dunking on people on social media isn't activism and isn't praxis.

Protest video shared with me from Massena, New York, a rural town on the Canadian border of ~12k people. Estimated 250+ in attendance. Amazing.

THANK YOU PORTLAND OREGON!!!!!!! WELL DONE!!!!

I interviewed legendary activist Yuri Kochiyama decades ago, and this is what she told me about marching in protests, "I like it because it’s a people’s thing. It’s not an individual thing. It’s all the things that people do together that gives you strength.”

10 minutes after start in San Francisco. #HandsOff

It's no longer cold

Someone brought a Greenland flag to the Milwaukee #HandsOff protest. The flag-waving hero is seen right at the start of this footage.🫡 🇬🇱🙌🇬🇱🙌🇬🇱

Among the most striking things I saw today were passing drivers who didn't simply give a polite honk in support, but pumped a fist out the window with their whole body, visibly excited to see people out there. Because a protest shows there is something to be done, and people to do it with you.

Protest changes the permission structure. It says fascists will not be allowed to proceed unencumbered. And if you didn't think there was anything to be done, a protest shows you many think otherwise.

Protests aren’t the only tool in the anti-authoritarian toolkit, but they’re incredibly important. Protests help us see each other; they make it feel safer to refuse to obey the dictator, and make it more possible for us to organize mass non-cooperation. It’s an essential step in the process.

Less complaining about how big rallies don't do anything, more brainstorming about how to activate their attendees to get involved with targeted campaigns, direct action, and mutual aid.

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

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)

The biggest thing we need to do is let people know that the protests are FUN. Yelling fuck the man is fun. You will meet fun people. We also need to make them more fun. Bring grills like the French. Bring instruments like it’s Mardi Gras. Give people a reason to spend their weekend in the streets.

New York Fucking City. A full mile of people filled to the brim. Fascism is going to lose.

And when you recognize fascism but cannot physically attend a protest (chronically ill, homebound, otherwise at risk), just *seeing* hundreds of thousands of people, from large urban centers to small cities (where in some cases 1 in 10 residents are protesting!), helps feel less isolated.

Remember the task now is to disseminate the images of the protests to people who didn’t see them and project a sense of their size and significance. Huge numbers of people turned out today, let’s make their dedication count!

They do i at least one thing which is get people to not feel so alone.

The #handsoff #april5th march in Chicago is so large the front just arrove back in Daley Plaza while the back has just started to leave.

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

Anti-Trump/Musk protest in Newark, Delaware (pop. 35,000). This is not a very political town. Might be the biggest protest I’ve seen in my six years here.

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

Man, the big huge protests in places like Boston, DC, NY, Chicago, and Minneapolis are awe-inspiring. But my heart is gonna explode looking at these crowds of people out in tiny Maine towns and super red Alabama towns. Places where 15% of the population is on the street corner with more coming!
