This past weekend, millions of Americans took to the streets in over 1,400 “Hands Off!” protests across all 50 states, delivering a resounding message to President Trump and Elon Musk: stop dismantling our democracy and vital social programs.

The grievances are clear:

• Authoritarian Overreach: The administration’s attempts to centralize power and erode democratic norms have ignited widespread concern.
• Economic Turmoil: Sweeping tariffs and aggressive budget cuts, spearheaded by Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, threaten Social Security, Medicare, and the livelihoods of countless Americans.
• Civil Rights Under Attack: Policies targeting immigrants, LGBTQ+ individuals, and other vulnerable communities are rolling back decades of progress.

At Daily Kos, we’re amplifying these voices, exposing the administration’s dangerous agenda, and mobilizing resistance. But we can’t do it alone.
