7 MILLION!
The numbers are pretty phenomenal, but I keep seeing authoritarian and related words in quotes.
It is. It’s not a question.
Why so spineless with the scare quotes?
Afraid of the authoritarian overreaction?
More than 7 million
I hope it turns out to be a bit more than 7 million…
100k+ in Chicago, baby! Peaceful, fun, high energy, family friendly! We took the kids!
What the fuck is that headline. “Pass in festival atmosphere”? What the hell is this reporting
Yes, or just authoritarianism. Without the quotes. Since, you know, facts and all.
Don’t need quotes around the word authoritarianism.
Why did they put quotes around authoritarianism? That’s what it is.
Why is it so impossible for journalists to write accurate headlines these days? You’re one of our first lines of defense in a democracy, ffs!
I love seeing this, I was at my cities protest and it was incredibly great to see!
But we need more.
More protests, more fighting, don’t let up.
Continue the good fight you champions.
This isn’t over until everyone behind this administration is behind bars
The only thing Trump isn’t a failure at is getting people to protest him. All three of the largest protests in American history were against him. All three.
It is important to note that 7 million people registered.
Many more likely attended
Please go vote next election
That’s a pretty big number. Are there any Trump voters going to these that realize their mistakes or is this the opposition just getting louder?
Im proud of you all. If we can topple this regime with nothing but abject kindness and decency, imagine how favorably history will remember this moment.
I appreciate everyone who participated & marched today and for No Kings organizers, I’m elderly, I don’t think I could have held up, but I feel you’re protesting speaks for everyone not able to attend.
Definitely more than 7 million.
2.1%
We’re getting closer to 3.5!
That’s a lot of checks for Soros to send to everyone. /s
Why is “authoritarianism” in quotes?
Why the fuck is authoritarianism in quotes?
No no no. Ok, if 10k protesters came out to 817 cities with more than 100k pop, thats 8 million people. Then also EVERY OTHER CITY in america under 100k. In the metro atl area that’s NOT atlanta, there’s smyrna, Woodstock, austell, kennesaw, and a ton of other places that saw hundreds of people today. This number is extremely low and I don’t believe it for a second.
We’re getting close to that magic 3.5% number.
“The “3.5% rule” is a political science concept suggesting that no government can withstand a challenge from a nonviolent movement that actively mobilizes at least 3.5% of the population. This figure is a descriptive observation from historical data, not a predictive law, and has been cited as a motivational benchmark for activists.”
7 million! How will Soros be able afford all this? /s
They are low balling it
More than 7 million PEACEFUL protests against the authoritarian government.
Fuck yeah.
No antifa bullshit. No riots. No fuel for the liars at the top to spin in their billionaire class grift. Fuck yeah.
I think a big story is that people from other countries are joining this. There are protests all around the world against Donald J. Trump.
The Sleeping Giant is starting to stir.
