Hopefully, this hits home with the MAGA republicans in congress, who need to hear this message and help the democrats take their congressional power back. As far as Trump goes, it won’t mean anything to him. Fascists be Fascists….
This is what hope looked like in Grand Rapids, Michigan. My children didn't want me to attend - the memory of the riot that ensued after George Floyd was murdered still fresh in their minds. Numerous articles about how to prepare for a protest - know your constitutional rights, write your emergency contacts on your arm, be unidentifiable in dark clothes, masks and hats, have an escape plan, etc. Writers reminding us of past civil rights movements when people bravely, peacefully protested knowing they could be physically beaten or even die standing up for what they knew was right.
I told my family that this was a planned peaceful protest. That I didn't need an escape plan or to write phone numbers on my arm. I was insistent that we needed to be on the right side of this movement! I made some posters and what did we encounter at this protest in downtown Grand Rapids?
Furious people full of hate for the new Führer tRump and his Republican Musk Rat regime - hell yes! But we were all smiling, greeting each other, shaking hands, lots of hugs, laughing at each other's creative posters. There were families, neighbors, children playing, determined seniors, defiant veterans and so many different skin colors!
I know it's not want he planned for - but thanks to the trump, for he has united us like we have never been before. Hope to see you all at the next protest!
Those are the numbers I'm seeing now! Nice! And i'd wager there were more that didn't get counted because they were in small areas and not officially connected to a group that was tracking it.
Hey I'm all for being wrong. At time of writing what was "confirmed" was 1/2 million. It felt too small but I'm always erring on caution. We know the legacy media won't give it full coverage and we may never know the actual numbers
There will be millions in the streets this SPRING!!!!
I went to 2 yesterday in CA at least 2000 at one, and 3000 at the other! Shout out to the Meidas Mighty in the (805)!
I’m so glad that the reaction started! Hoping that it doesn’t stop until the impeachment!
Sending best vibes from Rio de Janeiro! We are watching too!
It wasn't 500,000 people, it was in the 5,000,000 margin, THAT'S HOW BIG THIS NATIONWIDE RALLY WAS

It was FIVE MILLION ! Not 1/2 million .
Good!! Getting confirmed numbers will only go up.
Let them underestimate our numbers it's probably to our advantage...
Way to go We the People! 💙🗽🪖🇺🇲🇨🇦🇲🇽🇺🇦💪💙
Atlanta showed out, as well 💥💥💥
Thanks for this! Love what you're doing to help us! To keep us informed.
We deliver the stories that legacy media will not. Thank you for being here.

The enemy of my enemy....
Try 5.2 million people nationwide!
Those are the numbers I'm seeing now! Nice! And i'd wager there were more that didn't get counted because they were in small areas and not officially connected to a group that was tracking it.
Recent count is 5 Million people protested
Sweet!!! Let's hope it keeps growing!
You need to update your math. Alt Natl Parks estimates 5.2 million and still counting.

Thanks for your caution; 11 million actively resisting is the tipping point. We'll get there soon enough.
This needs to be just the starting point. We've had the summer of love, let's make this the Summer of Protest!! Make your voice heard!!
Check my article at 6 am!!
Thank you for the photos of all the different protests locations. It's wonderful to know America is awake now
I saw a few from really small towns too, like 100 in a little town in Pennsylvania
