Over 2 million protest against Erdogan in Istanbul

On April 5, millions of protesters across the U.S. participated in the 'Hands Off!' movement, challenging the policies of President Donald Trump and his associate Elon Musk. Demonstrations took place in over 1,300 cities, with significant gatherings in Washington D.C., Chicago, and New York, where protesters voiced concerns about cuts to social programs and perceived threats to democracy. Participants expressed their opposition to Trump’s administration through slogans and signs, highlighting issues such as the firing of federal workers and the erosion of civil rights. In locations like Santa Clarita and Poulsbo, over 2,000 individuals joined local protests, reflecting a broader national discontent. Organizers, including the AFL-CIO and various progressive groups, emphasized the urgency of defending public programs against what they view as corporate greed and exploitation. The protests marked a collective outcry against the current administration's direction, uniting citizens around the call for social justice and accountability.
