How are people finding out these are happening? I’ve yet to hear about one until after the fact.

Thanks for organizing Lexington‘s Hands Off event and to the UKY photo journalist for these fantastic photos! The slogans on the signs and the turn-out document creative and passionate concern against the tyranny of Trump, Musk, and DOGE.
