As part of national 'Hands Off!' event, protesters in Indiana speak out against Trump, Musk
More than a thousand demonstrations took place nationwide on Saturday, April 5, as part of the "Hands Off!" mobilization event. Speakers and attendees at events around the country protested President Donald Trump's actions since returning to the White House, including Elon Musk's leadership role. Here's a look at what happened Saturday around Indiana. At the Indiana Statehouse, the crowd decried cuts to Social Security and the Veterans Administration, criticized Trump's rhetoric and voiced support for the LGBTQ+ community. In the 2024 election, Marion County was one of only four Indiana counties where Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris garnered more votes than Trump. During a rainy day in Bloomington, hundreds of protesters grabbed their umbrellas, ponchos and signs and headed to the courthouse square. Together they chanted "For the people, by the people," "hands off" and more. Mayor Kerry Thomson attended as well as former and current public officials. ▶ Read more from the Herald-Times. The Journal & Courier reported that a man who bystanders said was angry about traffic was involved in a disruption during the "Hands Off!" protest in Lafayette. Video from the event shows the man, who was wearing a MAGA hat, in an altercation with a protester who headbutted him. After that, he went back to his vehicle and retrieved what appeared to be an assault rifle. The man was arrested and later released after officers said they determined he didn't point the gun at anyone. Police say he was "pushed and battered by individuals in the crowd" and described retrieving his gun as "an act of self-defense." Police also arrested the protester who headbutted the man in the MAGA hat. ▶ Muncie's protest came a week after Trump critics confronted U.S. Rep. Victoria Spartz, a Noblesville Republican whose district includes the Muncie area, at a local town hall meeting. Protesters held signs with phrases including "No kings in America" and "My 401 got KO'd." ▶ To the north, thousands gathered in South Bend and spoke out about immigrant and LGBTQ+ rights, education policies and other issues they have with the Trump White House. An event coordinator said about 600 people RSVP'd to the event, but many more came. A march planned during the event had a train of protesters throughout the mile-long route. ▶ .

Boldly Restored 1969 Chevrolet Camaro RS/SS Heads to Carlisle Auction
⚡️ Read the full article on Motorious A freshly restored 1969 Chevrolet Camaro RS/SS finished in show-stopping Hugger Orange will roll across the auction block at Carlisle Auctions as a showcase car, representing a high point in classic American muscle car design and performance. This Super Sport/Rally Sport example has been comprehensively restored, blending factory muscle with thoughtful upgrades for modern appeal. Under the cowl-induction hood lies a potent 396-cubic-inch V8, conservatively rated at 375 horsepower, paired with a Muncie 4-speed manual transmission and a 12-bolt rear end with 3.73 gears. Together, the drivetrain offers the kind of visceral performance that made the '69 Camaro a standout among late-'60s pony cars. Beyond its factory specs, the car boasts refinements from bumper to bumper. All-new sheet metal and tinted glass set the stage for a high-gloss Hugger Orange paint job sealed with clearcoat. Original GM brightwork has been restored, complementing the fresh chrome Rally wheels wrapped in T/A radials. Sequential rear turn signals and an electric headlight conversion modernize the RS package's signature hideaway headlights without compromising the Camaro's classic silhouette. The interior is equally meticulous, featuring a tilt steering column, AM/FM stereo, and new upholstery from top to bottom. Power front disc brakes and power steering ensure confident handling, while the dual exhaust system delivers a satisfying, throaty rumble that underscores the car's muscle-bound DNA. From its iconic color and aggressive stance to its updated electrical systems and original-spec powerplant, this 1969 Chevrolet Camaro RS/SS is more than a restoration—it's a tribute to one of the most revered muscle cars in American automotive history, ready to impress both on the street and on the show circuit. The Spring Carlisle Collector Car Auction runs April 24-25 at the Carlisle Expo Center (100 K St. in Carlisle, PA) and this year, has an ALL NEW START TIME of 10 AM each day.
