HandsØff2025 – Saturday April 5 2025, more than five million people in more than 1200 events across the United States protested the unconstitutional destructive tyrannical behavior of the Trump administration. With over a hundred Executive Orders having been issued, many of them clearly unconstitutional, and in the process of being enacted, the people of the United States are actively rejecting the administration. Protests have been building since January, each larger than the last, with more coming up.

In this episode we revisit a conversation with historian Mark Bray, author of Antifa: Tha Anti-Fascist Handbook recorded during the first month of the first Trump administration in 2017. We’ll also hear audio reports from folks protesting on April 5 with Marie in Burlington VT, Peter in Chicago IL, Starhawk in San Francisco, CA and Holly in Olympia WA. And of course, music!
