The event lasted 2 hours. We had a wonderful time. Omaha World Herald photos at the bottom. There had to be 5,000 to 6,000 people gathered to protest Trump!

Photos: Protestors gather in Omaha for nationwide movement against Trump administration
Megan Nielsen Apr 5, 2025 Updated 10 mins ago
Protestors gather as part of a nationwide movement to voice discontent with President Trump's administration at Memorial Park in Omaha on Saturday, April 5, 2025. Organizers of the Omaha protest are calling on Trump and Elon Musk to take their hands off the programs that middle class and working families rely on and asking elected officials to take a stand. Over 1,000 protests were planned across the country Saturday.

I haven't heard of any MAGA pushback at any of these
rallies, which i think is a big story in and of itself!

One of the local TV stations interviewed a MAGA carrying one of those obnoxious flags!

Thanks for posting!
I guess it happened almost everywhere. We had more than 1000 people at ours (Clackamas, OR). It was REALLY mellow and nice, full of friendly folks. Friendly but also determined.
