Today's No Kings

Trump's DC parade has attracted less than 200,000

I've heard estimates as low as 20,000. Better estimates were around 100,000.

No matter, even with "less than 200,000" makes him look weak and pathetic.

Reports are coming out that put the No Kings protests at about 11 million people. Which makes them the largest demonstrations in US history.

Trump's actual parade where the song they are marching to is Credence Clearwater Revival, I ain't no fortunate son, which, for those who aren't of a certain age is a VietNam protest song...

Just saw it was 70,000 in Seattle. That is a big number!

I wonder how those numbers compare to the 1970 protests after Kent State murders. I was at school at Colo State U and we had a very large impromptu parade, led by the Dean of Students, that snaked thru town for miles, shutting down a US highway for quite a while.

A buddy still lives there in town and he attended about an equal sized parade today…he thought 10,000+. Of course Fort Collins is 5 or 6 times bigger today than then.

The tallies are rolling in, so far it's 7.2 million showed up today for the No Kings rallies across the country.

That's a large and very impressive number, being the largest mass protests since 2017 and the second-largest (after Earth Day in 1970) in US history.

I fear it is nowhere near large enough, though.

50,000 in NY, the numbers coming in are staggering and so far next to nothing being reported of violence. The energy is high!

My Brother is in Cincinnati - he said 10,000 there.

Indeed!
I'm hearing 100,000 showed up in LA, 10,000 in Dallas, numbers still rolling in.
And pics of Trump's parade show rows and rows of white empty seats

Over 700 at the event today in Twisp. I’d bet that’s a larger % of the population here….than in L.A.

Fresh reporting has a gigantic rally in the City of Angeles where protesters number close to 100,000 and are peacefully in the streets

btw Ken, what's with your red and white flags? Are you giving up on 'vigilance, perseverance and justice which is what the blue represents on the American flag?
