Scenes From The Hands Off! Protests Against Trump Nationwide

25,000 Protesters in Boston Alone!

The Hands Off Movement Is Surging—And This Is Just the Prologue

Let’s not sugarcoat it: The world is watching—and it’s furious.

In a massive coordinated uprising, hundreds of thousands of people across the United States and around the globe hit the streets today in defiance of Donald Trump’s increasingly authoritarian administration. From Boston to Berlin, from San Francisco to Shibuya, a new kind of movement is taking hold—and it’s loud, diverse, and laser-focused on stopping Trump before the consequences become irreversible.

Below are scenes from around the nation this Saturday from Boston to Cincinnati, to Columbus, to Washington D.C. to Philadelphia:

The "Hands Off!" movement is more than a protest—it's a warning shot. And if the numbers we’re seeing today are any indication, Trump might want to brace himself for what’s coming next.

We’re less than three months into Trump’s return to the White House and the backlash is already scorching hot. In Boston alone, an estimated 25,000 people packed the Common. Meanwhile, more than 1,200 coordinated events took place across the U.S., while sympathetic protests sprouted organically in over a dozen international cities.

The reason? A growing belief that Trump is gutting democracy with a chainsaw while the American people are left to sweep up the splinters. The administration has slashed essential services like Social Security, greenlit mass federal layoffs, and handed Elon Musk the reins of a surreal new government agency called “DOGE”—the Department of Government Efficiency.

No, that’s not a joke. It’s real. And it’s terrifying.

And that’s not even the biggest bombshell.

Trump’s newly announced tariff war is already roiling global markets. But here's the kicker: The pain hasn’t even hit home yet. Wait until those tariffs start hammering wallets in small-town America. Wait until grocery store prices spike, businesses buckle under costs, and working families realize the MAGA dream was just a gilded mirage.

If today’s protests feel massive, just wait until 2026. That’s when the full economic shockwave is expected to crash into Main Street—and it could unleash a wave of public outrage unlike anything we’ve seen in modern political history.

What we’re witnessing now is just the opening act of a much larger movement. Today’s marches—visceral, emotional, and filled with fire—are the prologue to a reckoning that’s still coming into focus. This isn’t a passing trend. It’s a people-powered uprising against rising authoritarianism, corruption, and gaslighting on a global scale.

The protestors’ message? Crystal clear:
Hands off our rights. Hands off our future. Hands off our world.

So while Trump might believe he can bulldoze through his second term with impunity, he might want to check the headlines from today. Because from Boston to Berlin, from Paris to Portland, the people have spoken—and they’re just getting started.

The world is rising. And the resistance? It’s global now.
