'HANDS OFF': Protests ERUPT Today Across America
My conversation with MoveOn’s Rahna Epting on today's grassroots uprising against Trump, Musk, and the MAGA wrecking crew.

You can feel it in the streets. You can hear it in the chants: DO YOUR JOB! DO YOUR JOB!
I sat down with Rahna Epting, Executive Director of MoveOn, to talk about a movement that’s reaching a boiling point. Across the country, Americans are standing up and saying enough is enough. From the Boston Tesla protests to today’s national “Hands Off” day of action, this isn't just opposition—it’s an uprising.
Rahna and I talked about how over 1,300 protests are taking place today in all 50 states. This isn’t some top-down operation—it’s grassroots power. Everyday Americans organizing to protect Social Security, Medicare, reproductive freedom, workers’ rights, and the very foundation of our democracy. And let’s be clear: it’s not just Trump anymore. It’s all of his enablers. It’s Elon Musk. It’s J.D. Vance. It’s the billionaire cronies trying to bulldoze our freedoms while cashing in.
These protests are personal. Trump crashed the stock market, bragged about it, then jetted off to his Saudi-funded golf league. Regular Americans? We’re left holding the bag while they try to shred the social safety net and install an authoritarian regime.
Rahna put it best: “We are not afraid. We are stronger in numbers. We're not going anywhere.” And she’s right. Whether you’re heading to a protest today or getting ready for the next wave of actions during the August congressional recess, this is the beginning of what I’m calling the Summer of Democracy.
So if you’re fired up and ready to take action, head to handsoff2025.com and find an event near you. Trust me, there probably is one. You’re not alone in this.
We’ll keep covering it all at MeidasTouch. We’re not waiting for the corporate media to catch up—we are the media now.
