On Bluesky in general I've seen two kinds of popular posts on the "hands off" protests.

  1. The vast majority of posts are cheering the protestors - no matter matter how small the protests were. Like "Look at these 50 protestors in this deep red Wyoming county!"

  2. There's been some punching left.

I don't remember a single post stressing solidarity. I can't remember a single post attacking the republicans. If there was snark or sarcasm in the comment - it was punching left.

Hands Off protests

The Hands Off protests launched across the United States on Saturday, April 5, 2025, in what is currently the largest one-day, nationwide display of public resistance against the second administration of President Donald Trump.

WHAT GOOD THING DID YOU DO? WHAT DID YOU ACCOMPLISH? DID YOU EVEN ATTEMPT TO TAKE ANY POWER AWAY FROM THE TRUMP ADMIN? DID YOU EVEN COST THEM A DIME IN PROPERTY DAMAGE?

Hey, hopefully if they keep it up they'll provoke some dumb hogs into attacking them. That'll be helpful.
