#ONEMILLIONRISING Guess what I'm doing tonight? Getting trained up on NON COMPLIANCE. Because that's what it's going to take.

Pritzker: And we have a president who claims to love America but hates our military so much that can’t be bothered to delay his golf game to greet the bodies of four fallen U.S. soldiers.

Steve Kerr wore a Harvard basketball shirt after the Warriors’ win tonight: “Yes, this is me supporting Harvard. Way to go. Way to stand up to the bully.”

The 6000 was an early estimate from the Providence Journal, I think. But it was way more than that.

That was our organizers' initial estimate of the crowd size. Then it was adjusted downwards slightly when we saw the drone footage.

Great footage! Love the way you added our chanting. This video would be helpful in really trying to estimate how many people attended. Thank you!

We were so happy to join the 10,000+ Rhode Islanders at the #HandsOff March today! Honored to co-sponsor the event with @indivisibleri.bsky.social - keep an eye out for more events soon!

Older white protesters holding signs saying "give us our democracy back," "the only immigrant destroying America is musk!" and "hands off science!!!" Protesters on fifth Avenue. Science  visible include "fuck Trump" and "dictators are a danger to us all" Older woman in a nifty yellow fisherman's rain hat holding up a sign saying "do not bow to the fascists" Protester bundled up against the rain holding a sign saying "Congress do your job"

Main takeaway from the big #handsOFF protest in Manhattan today: overwhelmingly older white people. Like in 2003, they are going to portray it as pierced tattooed young rabble but it was not that at all.

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

Oh Tammy @duckworth.senate.gov , you are the f*cking QUEEN. You know more than almost everyone what this kind of indiscretion, this kind of criminally negligent behavior can result in! I'm going to keep speaking up and getting in the streets about this. You are a hero.
