Over 1,200 “Hands Off” protests erupted across all 50 U.S. states Saturday, marking the largest demonstration since President Donald Trump’s return to office. Protesters rallied against sweeping federal worker layoffs, the shutdown of Social Security offices, deep cuts to healthcare, immigrant deportations, and rollbacks of LGBTQ+ rights. Speeches and placards targeted both Trump and adviser Elon Musk, accusing them of seizing control over institutions. A standout protester dressed as Pikachu symbolized global resistance, echoing recent protests in Turkey. From Anchorage to Miami, demonstrators demanded protections for democracy, public services, and civil rights. Organizers urged the international community to hold the U.S. administration accountable.
