Anti-Trump protests: Hands Off! (LIVE)

They're the men we love to hate, the comical and nearly fascist leaders of a dying nation
(New York Post) Anti-Trump DC protesters hold 'Hands Off' rally with rest of USA: LIVE

What to know about Saturday's nationwide "Hands Off!" anti-Trump protests

.
My PR firm said US would love me. It's shocking
Imagine a map of at least 1,000 Anti-Trump and Musk events being planned across all 50 states for Saturday, April 5, 2025.

It's real and interactive (created by Kavya Beheraj for Axios) and shows a significant concentration in the Northeast, West Coast, and Rust Belt as part of the new Hands Off! Movement (handsoff2025.com). Events planned outside the U.S. are not shown.
We have to arrest vandals who did these things and deport them to prison or capitalism is at risk.
.
The nationwide Anti-President Trump Movement "Hands Off!" is expected to be the largest single-day protest this Saturday since the Orange Menace entered office. Why it matters:
  • I'm here to Make Israel Great Again (MIGA).
    The Trump administration's wide-reaching and ground-shaking policies have mobilized a varied cross section of Americans affected by political, economic, social and legal changes.
  • "This is not just corruption," the Hands Off! website says. "This is not just mismanagement. This is a hostile takeover."
  • By the numbers: More than 1,100 rallies, visibility events, and meetings were scheduled in all 50 states as of Wednesday (April 3, 2025) afternoon.
  • Organizers said they had gotten nearly 250,000 RSVPs as of March 29.
  • R'n'r for freedom? Support brave journalism
    The latest: White House Garden tours scheduled for Saturday were postponed to Sunday in anticipation of D.C. protests, First Lady Melania Trump said on Thursday.
  • State of play: Protesters are rallying against several Trump administration policies, including its handling of Social Security benefits, layoffs across the federal workforce, attacks on consumer protections and anti-immigrant policies and attacks on transgender people.
  • The protests are also against Elon Musk's involvement in the federal government via DOGE — after he's already faced a wave of [vandalism and] demonstrations at Tesla dealerships worldwide via the #TeslaTakedown movement.
  • The Hands Off! demonstrations will occur at state capitals, federal buildings, congressional offices, and city centers.
  • Dozens of advocacy organizations are partnering to support Saturday's action, including the Center for LGBTQ Economic Advancement & Research, Declaration for American Democracy, the Human Rights Campaign, Indivisible and Planned Parenthood.
Two out of two women agree, these sh*ts suck
What they're saying: "This is a nationwide mobilization to stop the most brazen power grab in modern history," the movement's website said. "Trump, Musk, and their billionaire cronies are orchestrating an all-out assault on our government, our economy, and our basic rights — enabled by Congress every step of the way."

Swifties find Taylor-Trump link to verdict



I served this Big D.
The internet has managed to find a link between Taylor Swift, 34, and Donny Trump’s 34 felony convictions.

The world is stunned by the unprecedented guilty verdicts delivered to Trump in his well-documented fraud and sex trial – which Swift fans have somehow managed to link to their idol.

Trump was found guilty on 34 class-E felony charges – meaning he could be sent away for four years but is unlikely to face jail time and is set to appeal the decision as the country prepares to elect its 47th president later this year. Yet, according to Swifties, the 22 singer inadvertently predicted this ground-breaking guilty verdict. How?


I'm just a simple country girl who sold her s... Oops.
Never mind Taylor. Notice me and my strip tease!
Why is Olivia Rodriguez dancing like a stripper?

‘OMG HER MIND!’
No! What do you mean "former"?
Fans joke about uncanny Taylor on her Donald verdict link: “OMG,” wrote excited Swiftie Ryan Aguirre on Twitter (X) in the wake of the guilty verdict, “HER MIND!”

Attached was a screenshot of Swift’s Wikipedia with her age circled, alongside a screenshot of an article confirming the Trump news.

I hate you, Nazi Barbie!
The supposedly eerie connection between the two images is that Taylor Swift’s age matches the number of Trump’s charges – 34 [which also matches the $34 million in donations from poor Trumpies his campaign claims to have received as a result of the verdict].
  • [She's so good at her witch powers that she knew to be born 34 years ago so that someone could make the link? Or was the DA listening to Swift music while dreaming up all the charges and settled on that charmed number from having kids talk about wanting to go to the Eras Tour all the time?]
This coincidence prompted an onslaught of JOKES from e-Swifties, who sarcastically claimed that the Eras tour star had masterminded Trump’s downfall [by threatening to call on Swifties to vote for Genocide Joe Biden through black magic and Satanic rituals intended to make her more famous and to have all her tour dates souled out?]

Judge bankrupts Trump: $454.5 million fine

Ashley Wells, Sheldon S., Seth Auberon, Pfc. Sandoval (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

The judge can't fine me that much, can he?
Trump has been handed an eviction of sorts: He's out of the BBC, the Billionaire Boys' Club, because he can no longer afford the steep membership fees.
Don't compare me to my dumb nepotistic sons!!
He may have to open up Mar a Lago to Airbnb rentals to cover his expenses.

He has allegedly run up a bill from defense attorneys of $500 million, or half a billion. He was fined $5 million for the rape of a woman he repeatedly defamed and was recently fined an additional $83 million for defaming her (and she has enough evidence to sue him again for doing it again after the trial).

Today's fine is $354 million. And he still faces about 90 criminal cases that may land him in federal prison unless he pays all the rest of his money on better defense attorneys or MAGAots rise up again and break him out of jail through another attempted insurrection that results in a second U.S. Civil War. Let's add it up:
  • 354,000,000.00 (today's fine for fraud)
  • 500,000,000.00 (defense attorneys' bill)
  • 083,000,000.00 (fine for defamation)
  • 005,000,000.00 (fine for rape/sexual assault)
  • 500,000,000.00 (future legal fees)
  • = more than the billion he started with
Will this cost Trump a young trophy wife?

Melania: I'll be taking my half and going now.
If Don John Trump started with a billion (1,000 million), and that's a big if -- given that he was convicted of financial fraud in New York for lying about how much his assets are worth or what he's spending his hush money on, and most of his tax documents do not seem to be examined by the mainstream media that allegedly worked so hard to have access to them -- he is down to almost nothing.

Jesus is the 'Black Nazarene' in Philippines

MSN, 1/9/24; Pfc. Sandoval, CC Liu (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly Wiki edit
The Black Nazarene is remembered in Asia and paraded through Manila, Philippines.
.
Of course I was Black from Africa
The Black Nazarene (Spanish El Nazareno Negro, Filipino Poóng Itím na Nazareno [1]) is a life-size statue of a dark-skinned Black Jesus Christ carrying the True Cross.

It is usually enshrined in the Minor Basilica and National Shrine of the Black Nazarene in Quiapo, Manila [2], but it comes out a few times a year, one of them being Jan. 9th.
The image was reputedly carved by an unknown Mexican artist in the 16th century then brought to the Philippines in 1606 [2, 3].

Black? Why, just because I'm from Africa?
It depicts Jesus en route to his crucifixion (an Imperial Roman punishment reserved exclusively for political prisoners who claimed to be messiahs or dared to challenge Roman rule.

Pious believers claim that physically touching the image can bring miracles and cure diseases [2, 3, 4].

The original image or its replica is given a religious procession three times a year:

The Bible loves War and Killing (video)

; Pat Macpherson and Pfc. Sandoval, Wisdom Quarterly
Gog and Magog go at it (again) because Bible stories can be reused every generation.

The Christian and Jewish Bible (New and Old Testaments, which are actually collections of handpicked books and writings) are enamored of "God"-approved war, violence, and harming.

Regarded more as history than spiritual inspiration, these books tell how all humans are to behave. If they do not, they risk being killed by "God" directly (smiting), or by his followers (stoning, pillaging), or by God indirectly (damnation).

The Book of Judges in particular is a bloodbath of the Christian gods (always plural in a book used as proof of monotheism) encouraging war. Even the nice parts are all about sacrificing animals to appease gods and feed them flesh more the way one imagines feeding giants or demons.


No apparent motive, just kill and kill again. The Gods demand it.

Visiting space alien giants, messengers, and overlords are terrible task masters. They demand allegiance and spawn brutal attacks and genocidal policies against neighbors.

Whether this is what they -- the sky "gods," Elohim, El Shaddai, El Elyon, El Olam, Yahweh (Jehovah), Adonai... (space visitors do not want to be asked their names, Judges 13) -- demand of their followers or what humans construe is demanded of them is difficult to parse out.

The Bible literally tells people to make war and kill, while another section records a general order that says, "Thou shalt not kill." This can only mean, kill only with heavenly orders or preapproval.
Whatever the case, the Bible is all about killing in the name of God(s). The titans (asuras) could not be happier, and neither could Western empires that use it as support for more and more wars of aggression.

The Book of Ezekiel is said to have been written between 593-565 BC during the Babylonian captivity of the Jews. Ezekiel Chapter 38 gives a "prophecy" of a war against Israel from a country named Magog and her allies.


Book of Judges is full of mind-numbing , God-approved violence.


Israel, it is said, was a nation scattered in 70 AD, which meant it ceased to be a nation at that time. Ezekiel 36 gives the prophecy of Israel being scattered and then coming back and becoming a nation again.

Zionists say this happened in 1948 when a Western-backed group took land from Palestinians then captured Jerusalem in 1967, attempting to set it up as the new Israel's capital, which is actually Tel Aviv.

It is rare if not unheard of for a nation to be scattered, cease to exist, then roughly 1,000+ years become a nation again. Of course, it did not happen on its own. It was a conspiracy by those who read the book and wanted a self-fulfilling prophecy.

The (real) Reason for the Season


Saturnalia and Santa -- it's no coincidence they resemble one another.

Io, Saturnalia!
The World (Dec. 24, 2009)
“Io, Saturnalia!” That’s how revelers might have greeted each other during the ancient Pagan holiday season. Saturnalia did NOT take place on the sixth planet from the sun. It was celebrated in the imperial city of Rome, the center of celebrations of this winter holiday. When it became the "Holy Roman Empire," it simply changed the name of the season.

The week-long celebration started on the Winter Solstice. And, like modern "Christmas," it was a time to eat, drink, and be merry. Party central was the empire's capital on a boot-shaped continental peninsula that sticks out into the Mediterranean Sea. The city’s squares were crowded with revelers, horses, and chariots.



(Roman Encyclopedia) By the beginning of December, writes Columella, the farmer should have finished his autumn planting. Now, at the time of the winter solstice (December 25th on the Julian calendar), Saturnus, the god of seed and sowing, was honored with a festival.

The Saturnalia was officially celebrated on December 17 (a.d. XVI Kal. Ian.) and, in Cicero's time, lasted seven days, from December 17-23. Augustus limited the holiday to three days so the civil courts would not have to be closed any longer than necessary. And Caligula extended it to five (Suetonius, XVII; Cassius Dio, LIX.6), which Claudius restored after it had been abolished (Dio, LX.25).

Still, everyone seems to have continued to celebrate for a full week, extended, says Macrobius (I.10.24), by celebration of the Sigillaria, so named for the small earthenware figurines that were sold then. More>>

The "God of Poverty"


In terms of questionable religious practices, nominally Buddhist Japan may now lead the pack. There is a new God of Poverty, which can be struck, kicked, and blamed for financial misfortune -- for a price. The God is willing to shoulder the blame for the current global crisis as well as individual hardships.
This practice echoes the Islamic practice of hurtling stones at the devil (tossing pebbles at a wall called Jamarat during the Hajj, or annual pilgrimage to Mecca).
The custom of self-mortification is not limited to the sages and seers of the East. It is still rampant in some parts of Christendom. Most notable is the annual custom of self-flagellation and voluntary crucifixion in the Philippines.

Finally, no culture can rival India for majestic splendor and strange customs. The country hosts the largest human gathering for a single purpose (with hundred of millions attending Kumbh Mela held every dozen years). Its practices are colorful, with periodic lesser Melas every three years, and national holidays like Holi.
