They had protests everywhere today - across the US and Europe. 2025 is going down in history as the year in which millions protested en mass, against fascism, against authoritarianism, for human rights.
1. 5051 Hands Off Protests Across the United States
I told Mother tonight that I didn't remember this many white folks out protesting in my lifetime (since maybe the women's march, which was really only a one-time thing back in 2016 and lost it's momentum fast). Mother responded there were a lot during the Vietnam War. But those leaned towards violence. I think people learned from the Black Lives Matter marches during the pandemic and the Vietnam protests, not to go down the violent route or the camping out/occupy route. They do not want to give the Doofus an excuse to impose martial law. (Which he is chomping at the bit to do. He really really wants to do that, so we have to be VERY careful not to give him an excuse. Everything has to be non-violent, healing, and peaceful. Otherwise people would have invaded the golf courses and protested on them by now.)
Ant-Trump Protests for 5051 Today
"Communities across traditionally conservative areas hosted historic turnouts. States like Indiana, Ohio, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and more drew even bigger crowds than on 4/5." [Now that is historic. The Red States tend to be anti-protest for the most part, and it's rare that happens. And so many.]
