Protests will take place across the Bay Area on Thursday as part of what is expected to be over 900 nationwide demonstrations for May Day. The demonstrations are in response to the policies of President Donald Trump’s second administration. Over 160 grassroots organizations across the country formed a coalition called May Day Strong to promote the events.
“Trump and his billionaire profiteers are trying to create a race to the bottom — on wages, on benefits, on dignity itself. This May Day we are fighting back,” the coalition said. “We are demanding a country that puts our families over their fortunes — public schools over private profits, healthcare over hedge funds, prosperity over free market politics.”
Since Trump’s inauguration in January, protests have been organized almost weekly across the country by grassroots groups. Earlier this month, “Hands Off!” protests across the country drew thousands to city streets from San Jose to Ukiah. Last week, demonstrations were held at Social Security Administration offices by activists concerned with program cuts. Over 50 protests are scheduled for the Bay Area.
Excellent!
yes anyone trying to block a freeway goes under my car.Excellent !!
LMAO! What May Day meant when I was a kid: We were FINALLY allowed to play outside~~ barefoot👣
These people get to go play outside without their brains!
Where I grew up it was a day off of classes at the school with a festival pageant complete with May pole in the morning, a potluck at noon with lots of good food (it was a farming community) and a baseball game in the afternoon. It also occurred later in the month. It was celebrating the ancient festivals of May day not the one that of those who celebrated some idealistic form of government derived from the French commune rage that occurred around the end of the 19th century which is something the modern day ideologues of it know little or nothing about.
Grassroots? Since when is the ACLU and Planned Parenthood – funded by Bill Gates grassroots?
Any chance that George Soros and his Open Society Foundation is also contributing to these “Hands Off!” protests?
Nothing “grassroots” about it. These same people pulled this crap throughout Trump’s last presidency while doing nothing for the public they supposedly serve, and now they’re doing it again. They still have no leadership and no plan. They should take this time to show their worth to the public through beneficial legislation, not screaming and yelling (and singing poorly) while holding signs and blocking traffic. But hey, keep it up! THE MIDTERMS ARE GOING TO BE BEAUTIFUL!!
Midterms are going to be beautiful indeed. Ruby red district representatives, such as the dour Kevin Kiley, are going down to electoral defeat.
I heard that on the same day the moon is actually turning to dust,and the birds will sing nevermore.How will we ever live this down? (nail biter) 🙁
Watch and cry!
Should be more fun than people watching at walmart.
See if you can pick out, perpetual college students.

“grassroots organizations”
Ya right, an how many are funded by the billionaire with dual citizenship.
Those quotes are hilarious! Too bad about the end of social security, Medicare and no more school funding. It was good while it lasted. Hilarious.
What’s hilarious is how the liberal democrat sheep keep believing the lies these grassroot groups keep protesting about. They all live in a fantasy world with the only realty is they all love socialism, and they all hate Trump. I’m sure they all voted for Kamala which proves they don’t care about our country or freedom.
It’s a bunch of paid phonies that dont believe in this made up cause,its all hate and actors.
The sky is falling!
The sky is falling!
You mean the big bad orange man is taking away money from Harvard – remind me again how much money they have in the bank? Was it over or under 50, billion dollars? But yes, lets cry over the Federal Government calling them out and refusing to give them more.
Or do you mean the big bad orange man is trying to collect on the student loans that have been defaulted on – you mean they have to pay back what they took?
Or are you talking about stopping medicad for illegals or the cuts that have been planned since mid 2024? Or are you talking about stopping Telehealth? Or are you simply trying to scare people with misinformation?
Please, do you have any actual informatoin to share or just more scare tactics?
As for the actual protests, you have your right to protest and I have my right to laugh at you.
The Hahvahd endowment is $51,977,000,000 as of today. You can buy a ton of antisemitism with that kind of bankroll.
Quit the fearmongering. If you want to buy into it, go ahead. Those of us who learned critical thinking and don’t automatically believe everything we are told by a media that has already been proven to be comprised of liars, will continue to support our rightfully elected (by a blowout) President. By hoping Trump fails, you are hoping the country fails. True Americanism there, sport! Keep it up. THE MIDTERMS ARE GOING TO BE BEAUTIFUL!
The only cuts are to people dead or 200 years old.
“Trump and his billionaire profiteers are trying to create a race to the bottom — on wages, on benefits, on dignity itself”. “We are demanding a country that puts our families over their fortunes — public schools over private profits, healthcare over hedge funds, prosperity over free market politics.”
As Bugs Bunny used to say “What a bunch of Maroons” FWIW Trump is trying to onshore jobs not “a race to the bottom” which over time will bring home jobs that should have never left in the first place!(Thank you Bill Clinton) I hate to admit it but this is a form of Protectionism not “free market politics”
but like I said those industries and jobs should never have left in the first place.
Like “Sleepy Joe” did right? The Democrats had four years to do whatever they wanted. What did they do? Opened the borders, threw trillions at a losing war effort while making no effort to end it, and sent inflation to the roof. Now, they are spending all their efforts to support illegal aliens and violent gang members over victims. The Democrats just spent four years telling us their President was healthy and in control, all while he was obviously demented. Who was running the country? Who was signing all the executive orders with Biden’s signature stamp? Can’t answer that, can you? The Democrats just had the most significant fraud against the American people exposed, AND YOU ARE ALL GUILTY. You can’t run from that one. Trump is turning things back to common-sense legislation, and he is doing so by actually following through on his campaign promises. When was the last time a Democrat did that? Think hard!
who told you this?
Love your hair! hope you win!!! so stupid, go to work idiots
Where were these imbeciles when Obiden was busy intentionally destroying this Country?
Protest on, while the true Americans go to work and support you! It won’t change the fact that Trump will continue turning our country around. MAGA!
Who cares about these protest that do nothing at all except agitate people that have nothing to do with their complaints…
People need to turn off MSNBC and The View. They are embarrassing themselves at this point. Ask any of the lefty loons just this one simple question and prepare for the meltdown…..
“Did Donald Trump close our borders”?
They cannot answer yes. Trust me, try it.
People need to turn off the right-wing propaganda networks such as Fox ‘News”, OAN, Newsmax. These channels have rotted the minds of millions of Americans with their incessant dystopian garbage.
How would you know if youve never watched? CNN is opinion not news.
Did Donald Trump close our borders?
Fox is the only place to hear the truth. In case you haven’t noticed, the left-wing media has been proven to be liars. They even admitted as much at their little banquet the other night. They told us for four years that Biden was OK, all while Fox reported his decline. That’s the only angle they bothered to report on (very objective). Do you still think Biden was OK? Which news outlets are deceitful?
Protests:
The practical alternative to work.
They are still getting paid.You don’t actually think these people believe in anything they are protesting about ?It’s all actors including those here.In the 60’s it really was confused kids protesting,now it’s kids that saw an ad online that need cigarette and gas money.
Cool putting my TRUMP flag on my truck and driving around playing ICE ICE baby, a classic song.
Not a good look. But go ahead. Just ignore the adjoining motorists laughing at you.
Sounds real harmful,everything isnt a popularity contest or liberals would not even exist.Try to think……..
Have only seen one biden harris bumper sticker and
that was on totally thrashed, beater of a car.
im thinking about loading up 10 huge super soakers with generic cola mixed with oatmeal find a protest and soak them.them will be so uncomfortable and itchy they will abort,it will stick to them like napalm. These are weak people that only do what they are paid to do,cause problems.But they are not very loyal in the face of problems.Snowflakes tend to melt.
Won’t the oatmeal clog up and foul the super soaker?
No the tube is really big,it will just not shoot as far being a heavier load.
