A new national day of protest is set to sweep across all 50 states on Saturday, April 5, with demonstrations organized under the banner "Hands Off" targeting threats to democracy, bodily autonomy, and climate justice. Organizers say the protests are a direct response to figures like President Donald Trump and tech billionaire Elon Musk, accusing them of undermining key democratic principles and freedoms.
"Donald Trump and Elon Musk think this country belongs to them. They’re grabbing everything they can, and it’s up to us to push back. On April 5th, we’ll take to the streets with a clear message: Hands off!" ~ ThirdAct.org
A map published by the event's website, HandsOff2025.com, shows protests stretching from Anchorage, Alaska, to Miami, Florida. Some of the largest gatherings are expected in cities like Washington, D.C., San Francisco, and Philadelphia, while smaller events are planned for college campuses and public squares nationwide.
"Across the country, grassroots activists, workers, community leaders and everyday people are coming together to say that it's time for billionaires and extreme lawmakers to take their hands off our healthcare, our wages, our safety, and our rights," the spokesperson said. "Trump and his billionaire allies are openly planning a power grab to roll back our rights, strip workers of protections, and dismantle the foundations of democracy in service of tax breaks for the wealthy and corporations. The stakes couldn't be higher."
The weirdest grouping of OC pixel designs i've ever made.
Made this a little while ago, but I still really like these OCs. :3
I don't remember a lot of my story idea, but the main idea was that it was like... the afterlife, and the Mother (pink) was trying to find her way out and kept running into these two Reapers that weren't very good at their jobs and kept getting distracted.
The sad lore was that Reaper B was the mothers kid I think. Idk lol.
B has a skull charm thing because his thing is stereotypical Reaper stuff.
A was supposed to have a justice scale thing as a charm I'm pretty sure, but it didn't translate too well OR it got covered by her hair. Either way oops.
Might pick the OCs up again because i like these designs.
I hate that I've even gotta reblog this because this SHOULD be a common opinion. Guess not though.
Charlie and Sammy being sad. Wonderful.
I think about how the families in FNaF felt losing their kids and siblings and friends a lot.
I also think about how Sammy felt losing Charlie and having his dad go crazy a lot.
AU lore Sammy fully believes Henry was the killer and was terrified his dad would find and kill him after his mom(Caroline) took him from Henry.
He put a lot of trust and faith in William because he felt like the only safe person during Henry's spiral since Caroline hadn't gotten custody of him yet. He'd be destroyed if he ever found out William had been the one who killed his sister.
Less sad fun AU fact, Charlie's favorite color is red and Sammy's favorite color is green!! :3
(I hate drawing side facing characters sm why is Sammy's posture like that.)

It's my 5 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳
This was like 14 days ago BUT WOW REALLY?? DANG I THOUGHT THIS WAS ONLY LIKE A YEAR OR TWO OLD JEEZ--
i went to the dentist today and my dentist honest to god said “can i ask you a question…….what the hell is in your mouth”
This is so real.
Is this design accurate to Cassidys description in the Silver Eyes Trilogy? No, BUT she's also very neat. I would like to see more Cassidy designs based off her please.
hot take but.....this Cassidy design is a guilty pleasure for me, I think it's cute although very inaccurate to Cassidys description
Every time I see someone name Cassidy "Cassidy Brooks" without acknowledging Michael Brooks I get a little sad.
Do whatever you want it's your AU, but i really like Michael Brooks, he's a cool character, and it just makes me a little sad to see his last name get used for another character a lot when he doesn't get acknowledged that much. :((
(NOTHING against the name Cassidy Brooks for Cassidy, just want more Michael Brooks stuff is all. Hes my son.)
