Axios: "No Kings" anti-Trump protests attract millions, organizers say

[Botany]

Millions of protesters across the U.S. took to the streets in demonstrations against the Trump administration on Saturday, in stark counter-programming to the president's Washington, D.C., military parade that evening.

Why it matters: "No Kings" protest organizers said the widespread movement marked the biggest single-day anti-President Trump protest during his second administration.

1. They'll be adding up the real numbers in the next several days.

I believe this protest was about 50% larger than the 2017 Women's March (the largest in US history). I have been comparing and adding the numbers for the various protests for many years and have become pretty good at estimates.

Someone wrote that CNN didn't cover ANY of it. I don't watch CNN anymore so I am not sure if it is true but it probably is. The MSM never covers the protests...Rachel Maddow and PBS were the only ones to cover the April 5th Hands Off Protest which had 1,400 protests and 5.2 million attended them. Corporate millionaires OWN THE MEDIA. They are our enemy, too!!!

2. And they promulgate right wing and Russian misinformation all the time too

3. It was so good.

If We The People sustain this level of engagement, democracy just might have a chance to take the day in the USA.

4. Somebody, let the NY Times opinion writers in on the big nation-wide "No Kings" protests.

Because they aren't saying jack shit about them, so far. Astounding lack of coverage; can't be accidental...
