Sonntag, 20.4., beim Handyeinschalten bimmelt die erste Nachricht des Tages, Ostergrüße aus Thailand, der Sohn kennt keine Flugscham, seufz. Wir machen Tagesablauf wie immer, alles andere ist zu viel. #inmeinertimeline Ostergrüße, Ostereier, Osterhasen und bunte Blumen. Der erste Flieder, Sonnenaufgang mit Wolken und ein Kuchenrezept mit 96 Eiern. Waffenstillstandsbruch in der Ukraine, Proteste in den USA und der Türkei. Ein Elch auf dem Weg zu #handsoff. Ich wünsche euch einen schönen Tag, moin


It's Holy Saturday if you're Christian. Easter weekend is a time for contemplation and prayer, but in a crisis like this, I am also praying with my feet.

In Trump's first term I was at a protest against family separation at the border, and we were listening to different faith leaders addressing the crowd. It was a Saturday, and the rabbi said, "Normally on a Saturday I'd be in synagogue leading prayers, but today I'm praying with my feet!"

Then he played guitar and sang...

Nationwide protests took place in the USA today, April 19, 2025. These pictures were taken in Galloway, New Jersey. A few hundred people showed up to express their outrage and disapproval of the Trump regime.

Encouraging note: this protest was bigger than the last, had more young people, and more young families involved!

A woman in a blue hat stands by the roadside with a protest sign.  The sign reads:  "The Trump regime has Democracy in its crosshairs!  Resist!"  There is also a drawing of a target with crosshairs.
A man with a grey beard and mustache is standing by the roadside with a protest sign.  The sign reads, "Hell No They Must Go!  Trump!  Vance!  Maga!  DOGE!  Musk!"
A group of protesters stand by a roadside with signs in their hands.  One sign says:  "NO TRUMP, NO KKK, NO FASCIST USA!"
Another sign says:  "DUE PROCESS FOR KILMAR!"
A long line of protesters stand by the roadway.  This is only a fraction of all the protesters who attended.


Not a bad turnout for the 2nd Hands Off protest in Thousand Oaks, CA. 4/19/25. Lots of cars honking in agreement. Wish we hadn't gotten into this situation in the first place, but lots of good energy here today. The Introverts sign wasn't mind, but I told them I strongly agreed with it.#HandsOff
Hands Off protest in Thousand Oaks, California.  Hillcrest and Lynn intersection. Lots of people lined the sidewalks out of view to the left. Definitely in the hundreds if not up around 1000. Lots of cars honking in agreement.
Sign at Hands Off Protest saying "Even The Introverts Are Here!!", which was not my sign, but I agreed with it strongly. Thousand Oaks, CA. 4/19/25.


A short video of some of the hundreds of protesters in Galloway, New Jersey, USA on April 19, 2025. More people participated today than on April 5th. And it was great to see more young people and young families.

It's looking like our sheer numbers are forcing the cowardly corporate outlets to admit the reality of our movement. CBS alone appears to be still trying to Baghdad Bob it out. But the others still had to be forced to report on us.

Don't forget: whether or not you are physically able to protest, you can write these people a postcard to tell them to kiss our asses.

Wasn't sure we'd make it to a #handsoff protest today but we did(!) glad we went.

Same energy and turnout as April 5th ✨

NEW: Thousands at Philly ‘Hands Off’ March and Rally: ‘No Kings in America’
[Photo essay]
https://unicornriot.ninja/2025/thousands-at-philly-hands-off-march-and-rally-no-kings-in-america/
Around 150 liberal groups, including unions, climate and advocacy groups like MoveOn, called for a wide set of #HandsOff rallies around the country on Saturday, April 5. The Philadelphia rally, one of several in the region, gathered at City Hall in Center City and marched down Market Street to the lawn near the National Constitution Center and Independence Hall.


Next nationwide demonstration, April 19!

Edit: April 18th is an ECONOMIC BLACKOUT day.

Buy your things from local people or not at all.

Pay cash so you’re not paying middlemen to use your own money.

Some photos from today's belated 50501 / #Indivisible / #HandsOff #protest and march in #Memphis #Tennessee! (Last week was postponed due to tornadoes and flooding.)

There was a boisterous crowd of several hundred awesome people, plus a few radical leftist good dogs. Signs spanned all the topics: #Trump, #ElonMusk, #DOGE, #Ukraine, #xAI, #SocialSecurity, the #IRS, #science...
Protestors at Poplar and Highland in Memphis for the Hands Off / 50501 / Indivisible etc. protest which had been postponed until today due to weather. Some protest signs read "Make America America Again," "Hands Off Our Schools / Parks," "Protect Kids Not Guns," "Resist," "Protect Our Trans Siblings," "Stop the Coup"
Protestors at Poplar and Highland in Memphis for the Hands Off / 50501 / Indivisible etc. protest which had been postponed until today due to weather. Some protest signs read "Keep the Immigrants - Deport Trump," "Actual Patriots," "Country over Party!", "No Human Is Illegal," "You Can't Lead the People if You Don't Love the People," "Hands Off Education - The VA - Soc. Security - USAID - IRS"
Protestors at Poplar and Highland in Memphis for the Hands Off / 50501 / Indivisible etc. protest which had been postponed until today due to weather. A growing crowd makes its way into the park for speeches. Some protest signs read "Stand up! Resist! Protest!" "Impeach President Musk," "You should be the one in a prison (with photo of Trump)" "No Kings In America Since 1776," "Stop Robbing the Poor," "Hate Separates Us - Love Unites Us," "Shitting on the American People!!!"
Protestors at Poplar and Highland in Memphis for the Hands Off / 50501 / Indivisible etc. protest which had been postponed until today due to weather. Some protest signs read "Good People Always Outnumber Wicked Kings," "Stand Up! Resist! Protest!," "Hate Separates Us, Love Unites Us," "xAI Blow it Out Your ASS," "Trump is Putin's Puppet," "NO DOGE - STAY WOKE," "Por la razón a la fuerza," "Education for all children"


I'm starting to see disparaging statements about the #HandsOff protests, suggestive of #COINTELPRO: that they were "permitted", that they had "little effect", that "hundreds of thousands" showed up (actually millions), that we should try to find "other, more effective" approaches — rather than attend #April19th.

That means #HandsOff is working.

Keep it up.


#HandsOff : I'd like to remind my fellow Americans that, although you're all probably having a hard time, two million Gazans are

being murdered *RIGHT NOW*.

Israel blocks food, medical supplies, fuel and sufficient water from entering the Gaza strip. Stocks are rapidly running out. #UNRWA , the organization that knows how to distribute food etc. in Gaza, has been decapitated after being labeled as terrorists by Israel.

You may not like old white guys (25% Jewish blood) telling you this. That's fine. In that case, please read what the Gazan girl below has to say to you. #ThinkAboutIt

#Gaza #Startvation #LackOfEverything #FrancescaAlbaneseIsRight


I don't think many women had abortions for the reasons listed
I not saying none but the reasons listed cheapen what they went through and wrestled with and the concerns were many, varied, confusing conflicting and complictaed
What it "allowed" them is their basic, indisputable and precarious at all times, right of autonomy
I think that it was not your intention but words like these are dangerous and misleading

Y’all, this long form article is worth the read if you want to understand how Theil and Yarvin have weaponized surveillance to target brown people and Leftists. This is why, if you are posting pictures of #HandsOff, you need to blur faces before you post.

In an era where the secret police are disappearing people, and handcuffing 3rd graders to drag them to detention facilities, posting the faces of people without their permission could very well be a life or death situation. The media and the government have turned against The People, and we cannot give them ammunition.
