Demolishing the White House to make room for a 250 million dollar ballroom while Americans can’t afford healthcare is the epitome of “Let them eat cake.”

As more numbers come in, it's astounding the difference in counts for No Kings 2.0.

Every location reported either has a similar count or has doubled.

Santa Monica: June 1,000 to 6,000 vs Oct. 5,000 to 10,000

Albany: June 1,700 to 2,000 vs Oct. 20,000 to 25,000

Wait! I thought we were a violent mob of rioters who hate America?

All I saw was community-loving peaceful protesters.

So, is Mike Johnson going to apologize?

No, Mr. President, the hour before you bombed Iran was the time for peace.

Dear Outdoorsy Republicans,

It’s going to be real hard to hunt, camp, graze cattle, fish, ride ATVs, and boat if your representatives sell off millions of acres of public lands.

Just a thought.

Signed,
An outdoorsy liberal

I’ve been doing just this. I work to record protests. I also wrote an analysis of what I have discovered if you’re interested.

To get to 12 million, the remaining 1355 sites would need to average about 6400. To arrive at an estimate of 4 to 6 million, the remaining 1355 protests need to average 811 to 2287. The second scenario is more likely.

Great! Can I get a source?

Can you please provide a list of your counts so they can be verified? I'm not doubting, but for transparency.

I never thought I’d see a day when the US government had more with Germany in 1939 than the 13 colonies in 1776.

Yes, it is.

To put the resistance in context...

On February 5, we celebrated when there were 67 protests on one day.

This Saturday, there are 257 protests, and it's not a national protest or holiday.

And I estimate there be 1400+ protests on June 14.

Hope.

The resistance is spreading in towns and cities alike.
