#April5th #HandsOffProtest
"In coordinated demonstrations that organizers said took place across all 50 states, the "Hands Off!" protest accused Trump and his administration of championing policies that benefit the rich while making life harder for everyone else."

We went to the anti-Trump protests. Here's what surprised us the most.

"Coordinated nationwide protests against the Trump administration drew large crowds. Business Insider was there."

Some scenes from the #AugustaME #HandsOff rally (not my images -- from the Kennebec Journal)

by Hannah Kaufman, Kennebec Journal

AUGUSTA — "By about 2:20 p.m., the protest in Augusta had effectively ended, but for a smaller group, the march continued, with some making their third and fourth laps around the block.
Organizers had intended the march to take place on the sidewalk, but the width of Capitol Street was filled with a throng of protesters shortly before 2 p.m.

"Vivian Myers-Jones, a protester from New Brunswick, Canada, said an organizer estimated 3,000 people were at the protest during its peak.

"Several students from Bates College in Lewiston said they came to Augusta to protest in support of #Palestine. One student, Dylan, said action on the Israel-Hamas war is overdue.

"'We’ve been seeing a genocide unfolding before our eyes for years now, and it’s overdue that people are doing something,' he said. 'We’ve been trying to make change, and I think some people are being shocked into action now, which is good to see.'

"Another student, Robert, said it’s important to exercise the right to protest.
'We’re fighting to continue fighting — about Palestine, about everything that’s going on in this country,' he said.
It’s important that we come together now.'"

A crowd of people gathered in front of an official-looking building (the Maine state house). They are a mix and old, young, and middle-aged, and many of them are holding up signs. Some of the signs read: "Eat Elon"; "Stop funding the ethnic cleaning in Palestine"; "Hands Off Our Rights - No DOGE - FASCISTS"; "No tax breaks for the rich"; "Robber Barons"; "Deport Oligarchs, Guarantee Efficiency"; "Take Your Plutocracy to Pluto" (with a Rocket going into space).

‘Listen to the people’: Thousands demonstrate across #Maine for national day of action against #Trump

#Mainers rallied in over 20 towns against mass firings and cuts to federal programs

By: Lauren McCauley - April 5, 2025

"'The power of the people is more important and stronger than the people in power.'

"That was what U.S. Sen. Angus King told the thousands of people who gathered on Congress Street in Portland on Saturday to protest the administration of President Donald Trump. [#UselessSusanCollins wasn't there. Nothing new...]

"According to organizers, 3,000 people attended the #PortlandME rally, which was just one of more than 20 events held across Maine as part of national '#HandsOff!' actions to demonstrate widespread opposition to the gutting of the federal government spearheaded by billionaire advisor #ElonMusk.

"The town mall in #BrunswickME, where over 500 people rallied, was a sea of homemade signs. Maine Senate President Mattie Daughtry, who represents the district, was among the crowd and noted it was one of the few times in her life she’s seen 'this many people gathered for something like this.'

"The message, she said, is 'to listen to the people.'

"'A lot of the signs that I saw were about ‘Hands off our Social Security,’ ‘Hands off our libraries,’ ‘Hands off our health care,’ I think what we’re saying is, you can’t completely unravel the fabric of our society without people noticing.'"
