HANDS OFF ❗- In towns and cities in all 50 states, protesters took to the streets to express their opposition to Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and the never-ending transgressions of the second Trump administration — as well as show their support for federal workers, immigrants, trans people, and numerous other groups and causes now being targeted by the government.

Taken together, the “Hands Off❗” protests were the largest act of defiance yet against Trump’s second presidency and came after a particularly tumultuous week in which Trump single-handedly destabilized the U.S. economy with his new sweeping tariff policies. Below, in alphabetical order, are scenes (and some of the signs) from dozens of Saturday’s protests.
