This is still 4 million short of 3.5%, though, isn’t it? It still felt so good to get out there and see so many standing up!

BREAKING: Our crowd count estimate from the No Kings coalition responsible for planning today’s event is 7 MILLION nationwide.

7 MILLION of you gathered across the country to peacefully protest today.

2 million more than the first No Kings action in June.

It's official. Nearly 7 million people. Today is the single largest day of protest in American history. Americans from all corners of the country are standing up and saying #NoKings. This is what peaceful, patriotic protest looks like.

Do we have an estimate of the number? I’m reading 7 million in CNN and NBC but is that accurate?

There was an incredible turnout across small-town USA! Many events weren’t even on our radar. Our coalition initially tracked around 3,000 events, but the number has now surged past 4,000 and counting.

What do you think made America great?

I’ve traveled the world, and every time I come home, I’m reminded of what makes this place special: the culture, the mix of people, the constant diversity. I love this country.

And I also know who truly hates America:

• The KKK
• 3 Percenters
• Proud Boys

Even I had to shake my head at the news that Trump commuted the sentence of former congressman George Santos this evening.

They used the exact creepy intro to Blue Sky as ass wipe Vance. I’ve now muted the account as well. Any rapist/convicted felon who directs, then applauds, the kidnappings and disappearings of human beings deserves to go to The Hague. They are pure evil.

I am planning on going to No Kings gathering this weekend in central Texas. And since I was terminated by MSNBC a few weeks ago, can someone let me know where to pick up paycheck that GOP keeps talking about. I have asked many folks going to No Kings, and none are getting paid.
