Democratic party support for the D.C. protest.

Opponents of President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk rallied across the U.S. on Saturday to protest the administration’s actions on government downsizing, the economy, human rights and other issues.

More than 1,200 “Hands Off!” demonstrations were planned by more than 150 groups, including civil rights organizations, labor unions, LBGTQ+ advocates, veterans and elections activists. The protest sites included the National Mall in Washington, D.C., state capitols and other locations in all 50 states.

Protesters assailed the Trump administration’s moves to fire thousands of federal workers, close Social Security Administration field offices, effectively shutter entire agencies, deport immigrants, scale back protections for transgender people and cut federal funding for health programs.

6. Just got back from the DC "Hands off!" Protest.

Lots of people there. Would guess at least 25,000. Lots of oldsters like me but many ypoug people and families also. Great signs. Next to Trump, Musk was the favorite villain. Heard Jamie Raskin talk and he was great.
