• Topics: protest Hands Off! Trump-Vance administration
• Summary: «It is a cliche to begin a story about a rally with a quote from a funny sign, but one small piece of floppy brown cardboard floating down 40th Street in Manhattan on Saturday seemed to capture the mood of this weekend’s "Hands Off" protests against President Donald Trump: "Where do I start?"» [...] «People weren't taking action just to protest what the president and his movement represented, but because of visceral fear – real fear – of what he had already done, and that once impossible things were now very much possible.» Article also references the "Ikea has better cabinets" sign.
