Crowds of people angry about the way President Donald Trump is running the country marched and rallied in scores of American cities Saturday in the biggest day of demonstrations yet by an opposition movement trying to regain its momentum after the shock of the Republican’s first weeks in office.

So-called Hands Off! demonstrations were organized for more than 1,200 locations in all 50 states by more than 150 groups, including civil rights organizations, labor unions, LBGTQ+ advocates, veterans and elections activists. The rallies appeared peaceful, with no immediate reports of arrest

Shout-out to the AP for improving their headline (the original was a “protestors tee off” golf pun) and pre-empting the inevitable disinformation about “violence” and “chaos”.

    The president golfed in Florida Saturday and planned to do so again Sunday, the White House said.

    one might say, hypothetically , perhaps the next mass demonstration needs to be 20,000 protesters marching onto the golf greens in formation and providing this wannabe dictator piece of shit scumbag with feedback directly from his constituents.

      I hope this idea of protesting at golf courses takes off. Doesn’t impact almost any working class people. Annoys the rich. Risks only trespass charges. Easy optics against the golfingest president that ever did golfident.
