Summary
Thousands protested across the U.S. against Trump’s policies, Project 2025, and Elon Musk’s role in the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Demonstrators rallied against Trump’s immigration actions, rollback of transgender rights, and proposed forced transfers of Palestinians. Many expressed concerns over Musk’s access to Treasury data, fearing privacy risks.
Protests occurred in multiple state capitals, with arrests in Iowa and strong opposition in Alabama over LGBTQ+ policies.
Organized under #buildtheresistance, the movement signals growing resistance to Trump’s administration and its sweeping policy changes.
I went to that!
it is too bad you were late
remember when he said project 2025 wasn’t something he was interested in?
Remember when a significant portion of the American people believed him? …fuck.
And then there were the ones who didn’t believe him but better that than having one of “THEM” in charge again.
While I personally think this was organized too quickly to really be effective, it does give me hope that we might get some semblance of resistance. I’ve been dreading the possibility a second American civil war for more than a decade, since the early days of the tea party, ironically I find myself hoping for one as one of the more preferable outcomes at this point. It would still be horrible but better than the playground for the rich we’re looking down the barrel of right now

Im not gonna disagree with you
Any new civil war would be rural versus city in every state of the country. Where is the front line? The front line is everywhere.
Doesn’t mean shit until Elon’s head is on a spike.
Metaphorically speaking.

BONUS
“Billionaires are the only minority destroying this country” was a top tier sign at the OKC protest!
I am making a point to click every headline about the protests today so that the press that are willing to cover this know that it gets clicks.
