Compare yesterday's millions to this and how we couldn't escape breathless coverage of the Tea Partiers at their peak.
![April 15, 2009 is said to have been the day that had the largest number of tea party demonstrations reportedly in more than 750 cities.[73] Estimates of protesters and locations varied. The Christian Science Monitor reported on the difficulties of calculating a cumulative turnout and said some estimates state that over half a million Americans participated in the protests, noting, "experts say the counting itself often becomes politicized as authorities, organizers, and attendees often come up with dramatically different counts."[74][75] Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform, estimated that at least 268,000 attended in over 200 cities.[76] Statistician Nate Silver, manager of FiveThirtyEight.com, has said that a cumulative crowd size estimate from credible sources was of 311,460 attendees in 346 cities, which accounted for all capitols and major cities little noticeable or no reliable media coverage in other protests could have contributed to a lower number of attendees and locations.[77] The largest event, in Atlanta, drew between an estimated 7,000 to 15,000 protesters.[77][78][79] Some of the gatherings drew only dozens.[74]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:kdphmaoqeaouax2kis27556e/bafkreieux2zxjfxl2vnbcgw6jxcqzzdqksj7oai2hsduocsjafcl5t67w4@jpeg)

This is insane. I feel like I’m going insane when I’m watching this. Not just the fact that it’s clearly their fault, but the way a heavily-armed squad of masked thugs immediately jumps into the street and brutalizes the woman they just hit, despite having no idea who she is.

If George Washington himself had done this as President, he would have been impeached, removed, prosecuted, and imprisoned. This was one of the greatest fears of the Framers.
JUST IN: President Trump has told top U.S. commanders that the military would be used against "enemy within."

The Democrats ran, among other things, on democracy being under threat in the 2024 election and they were clearly right. They should act like they were right, not that they were wrong because they lost at one particular moment in time. Trump considers them an internal enemy, not a minority party

My son (22yo) is passionate Rust + Typescript developer, with a couple of years of DevOps experience. It's really hard to get through initial applicant filters. I guess a lot of folk looking also.
