Huge Crowds at 'Hands Off' Protests

Saturday, April 05, 2025

A new national day of protest is sweeping across all 50 states on Saturday, April 5, with demonstrations organized under the banner "Hands Off" targeting perceived threats to democracy, bodily autonomy, and climate justice. Organizers say the protests are a direct response to figures like former President Donald Trump and tech billionaire Elon Musk, accusing them of undermining key democratic principles and freedoms. Balloon Juice is sharing photos of large crowds united in protest.

Could you even imagine climate cultists attacking Teslas even 3 years ago? The company that's pioneered electric vehicles that they claimed would save the planet? Shows their climate hysteria was always --------.

Why do typically incompetent Democrat fickled young college indoctrinated mostly radicals specialize in undermining and hating America?

American workers have been screwed by these people causing turmoil and violence for innocent people and business. We have no choice but to get our trade and spending in order or our country will be bankrupt and these young people will have nothing.

Biden and Democrats did nothing to return manufacturing of pandemic protection ppi products to USA.

I expect a 'Kent State' response, perhaps not today, but likely soon.

I would not be surprised if there were several.

This is not the America we knew 3 months ago. He wants a 'national emergency' in order to declare Martial law. When he does, it will be permanent.

Elections will be cancelled. Due process will be a distant memory.

my wife will go to one today downtown in a very Red city in a very Red state.

She wonders if there will be trouble. I think not. But it is a very red-necked city in a very red-necked state.

Donald Trump and MAGA have made me realize that all my stereotypes of rednecks were actually fair descriptions of reality.

I will go out on a limb and predict that Democrat hands off protests will be dominated by always angry homely anti feminist young women that have been trained to hate America, patriotism, traditional gender culture, babies and families. They've been trained to hate tradition which inevitably destroys society.

Go give yourselves barb-wire enemas. I'll be at the protest that's taking place this afternoon, here, in this red state. The state I was born and raised in.

Let's circle back afterwards and see if that enema helped.

#29 | Posted by YAV at 2025-04-05 09:52 AM

#29 Speaking for myself, life is good. Danni is the one running around full of hate for where she chooses to live. She announced in a MaryTlerWhore fashion she was selling and moving out of this GD red state. I looked up the protest in Jacksonville. That was great for a morning chuckle. It will be the same 15 males/females and 'others' who protest against showering and shaving, among other things too. Good for them!

So funny to see BOAZ demonstrate exactly how his enfeebled brain works.

A...BOAZ hears a guy with a different point of view..

B...BOAZ spouts off, calls him a hypocrite-Lib-POS, and bully bellies the guy by telling him to leave his home state/County/City, for he offends BOAZ, by being different from BOAZO.

C...Guy knocks BOAZ on his rhetorical arse, with a left-hook of reality.

D...Everybody points and laughs at BOAZO.

E...BOAZO slinks off muttering about POS Libs.

That's pretty much a rinse and repeat of what happens here on a regular
basis.

This thread looks like the Trump Pet's Last Stand, lmao!

A couple of weeks ago there was an anti-Trump protest in downtown Ocala, of all places, which drew a lot more support on the streets and from passing drivers than I ever thought possible here.

And this one should be much bigger today given that the Economy and SS has been attacked by this Russian plant.

I'll be there to support We the People and oppose the Broligarchy that Trump werks for.

3. Tariffed an island of penguins

4. Fired thousands from the Centers of Disease Control

DOGE discovered that the VA was previously paying ~$380,000/month for minor website modifications. That contract has not been renewed, and the same work is now being executed by 1 internal VA software engineer spending ~10 hours/week.
I understand the media likes to get everyone riled up by harping on Social Security and snap benefits, and scaring people into thinking those are going to be taken away. But let's be clear, a lot of the waste they have found so far hasn't been nefarious. Such as severance payments still being paid to someone who passed away. Elon compared it to leaving the money faucet running. So not everything they're uncovering is criminal behavior, it's simply something that's been overlooked, bad decision making or lack of transparency.

And yall want this to keep going?

Yes. I would like America to keep "going". Please and thank you.

And I would like it if you would rehire the Inspectors General whose job it was to point out problems like that to Congress. Whose job it is to perform oversight on federal agencies. Not some weird ketamine fueled unelected oligarch.

I am surprised he not was called a Czar but I guess that would make his connections to Russia way too obvious.

Will the Democrats be able to turn all this enthusiasm and energy into support for Democratic candidates going forward?

Aside from Sen Bernie Sanders, Rep Ocasio-Cortez and Sen Booker, I've not seen a lot of attempts of persuasion to support Democrats.

What I did see was Sen Schumer surrendering to MAGA in the Senate recently.

So, I ask, again, will the Democrats be able to channel this enthusiasm and energy?

Upcoming elections will be critical for the future of the Republic and for Democracy.

Will the Democrats blow it ... again?

Rally pics in Ocala...

That's encouraging - and surprising for Ocala!

It was packed here - easily into the high hundreds, and more likely in the low thousands. The site of the protest was filled completely, and it spilled over with just as many people across the road to the East, with more on the North side. Going was so worth it! Loved all the signs and the creativity people showed!

subjugating the legal profession
killing foreign aid-we had literally 3 State Dept officials in Myanmar after the earthquake and they were ordered home-the world NOTICES ---- like that
tearing up alliances
threatening territorial expansion via military action
destroying our defense industry by losing foreign contracts
starting a tariff war with the world which will cause a recession that will be nigh on impossible to get out of
Destroying the dollar resulting in America unable to sell it's debt
disappearing people
sending people to a foreign gulag to be tortured
destroying the medical research industry
decimating our ability to respond to disease outbreaks
withdrawing from the World health organization so we can't even TRACK outbreaks

Perhaps you haven't heard about the Democrats holding town halls in red districts/states where Republicans aren't holding them. You can Google it, but here are a few examples to get you started:

The Tennessee Holler
@thetnholler.bsky.social
JUST NOW at the @SenWarren town hall in NASHVILLE: "How can kids help things get better?" "

@MarshaBlackburn & @SenatorHagerty wont do town halls because they can't face these tough questions. So Senator Warren is.

Democrats are organizing town halls across the country as part of an effort to exploit GOP lawmakers' reluctance to meet with angry constituents face-to-face. They're also hoping to make inroads with voters in unlikely areas of the country and flip control of Congress in next year's midterms.

Over the weekend, Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) and Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-Fla.) teamed up for a town hall in Warren, Michigan, while Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) held massive rallies as part of their "Fighting Oligarchy" tour earlier this month.

I know a number of people who protested yesterday and was impressed by the number of people who went out to protest in my area despite the really lousy weahter. Lots of good signs. Hopefully there will be a next time, the weather will be better and even more people will turn out.

It was so good, Gal! I'm way down here in Florida, but it was outstanding. Enthusiastic, united, and filled with hope. I even met and spoke with (for a good half an hour) a life-long republican that is horrified at what Trump/Musk/the GOP is doing. That and all the car horns and waving supporting the protest!

If ShrimpDick were on a Space Station, someone would have shoved him out of a hatch by now rather than listen to his blather

Here on Earth plonking works pretty well. Also no after murder guilt or remorse.
