Here's a gift link to the New York Times' coverage of the initial Tea Party rallies in April 2009 which inspired the media to treat it like a massive movement.

Check out how tiny the crowds were:

Philly: 200
DC: "several hundred"
Boston: 500
Austin: 1,000
Houston: 2,000

Great turnout at No Kings in Ferndale, Michigan. Huge crowd up and down Woodward Avenue of Nine Mile. Tons of enthusiasm and a constant honking of support from passing traffic. My favorite sign- ‘I miss the typical asshole Republican.’

Bishop Talbert Swan gets it. I get it. My dog gets it. Why can't these so called 'Good Christians' that worship Tubby McTraitor get it? 🤔🤔🤔

Now Trump & RFK plan on removing the bans on asbestos!

As a surgeon who has spent decades seeing patients with mesothelioma & other forms of asbestosis, I'm gobsmacked that anyone could be so blindingly STUPID..!

Let's opt to bring back polio, smallpox, measles, ... oh, hang on - they already are!

You all know Trump’s coup never stopped, right? Since Jan 6, Trump has been trying to overthrow the USA government. Now he’s involved the US Marines. We must show up loudly yet peacefully to stop him #NoKings

He stood there on Jan 20 and falsely mouthed the words to protect and defend our Constitution.

Asked now on Meet the Press if he thinks he needs to uphold the Constitution, he says, “I don’t know.”

Translation: No.

Woe to America and the utter failure of putting this man back in our Oval Office.

Put aside the lies and the open defiance of the Supreme Court, as well as the cruelty, and ask yourself: who talks like this? This is the *official* account of the *White House* - is it being run by a six year old?
