The article reports on a nationwide protest movement known as "Hands Off 2025" which took place at over 1,400 locations across the United States. The protests were primarily held in federal buildings, city halls, and public parks, with a significant concentration on both coasts. The movement appears to be a response to what some perceive as authoritarian overreach by the Trump administration.

1. We've got the right to protest for what is right without being arrested, deported or fired. We've got the right to read the books we want … We've even got the right to call the president deranged from crashing our economy, destroying $6tn of wealth … and the press has the right to call the Gulf of Mexico, the Gulf of Mexico.
Liz Huston
White House
1. President Trump's position is clear: He will always protect Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid for eligible beneficiaries. Meanwhile, the Democrats' stance is giving Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare benefits to illegal aliens, which will bankrupt these programs and crush American seniors.

Hands Off
1. I'm terrified, I'm angry, I'm pissed, I'm bewildered this could happen to the United States.
Kelley Robinson
Human Rights Campaign
1. They're trying to ban our books, they're slashing HIV prevention funding, they're criminalizing our doctors, our teachers, our families and our lives.
2. I can only write this because there used to be a Department of Education.
Robert Weissman

1. There's only one thing that can face down the authoritarian moment we are facing, and that's the movement we see here today.
Jennifer Heit
1. This is an assault on our democracy, on our economy, on our civil rights.
Abbott Sherwin
1. The Democrat Party is kind of wimping out... and not actually standing up for our rights.
Diane Kolifrath
1. Many people are scared to protest against Trump because he has reacted aggressively and violently to those who have stood up.
