I was at my local protest. I'd guess there were around 3,000-5,000 people and it was literally just a bunch of hippies chanting. The protest was so lawful that people were even obeying walk signals at the intersection where it occurred.
Our governor had a state of emergency in place for this.
So peaceful that when the permit said 1pm, people started walking back to where they were supposed to go. The only scuffle was caused by a raised-truck tRump supporter and they were booed to all hell before driving away like the coward they are.
The fact that you need a permit is already a violation of the right of assembly IMHO.
Oh, I agree. I would have stayed out there all day!
HitlerPig is obsessed by ratings, polls, popularity, etc., so seeing these kinds of crowds demonstrating against him, when his own birthday party, in only one city, had empty seats, has got to be making him crazy.
I'll give $100 to the first journalist who asks, on camera in a White House press conference "Mr. President, what do you think of all the enormous demonstrations against you, when nobody came to your birthday party?"
I just want to see him cry.
This is giving me an ounce of hope, y’all. From across the pond, keep this up and vote common sense
Kinda wish people were this angry before the election. Please remember to vote in the midterms so we can at least drop the Republican majorities in congress. They're rushing all this crazy shit first, hoping we forget everything by 2026 and 2028. It's not like we didn't have 4 years of this asshole, then after a 4-year break and it's like people from 2020 forgot to vote in 2024. Voter turnout dropped.
If you think the midterms are going to be democratic in nature, you've still got another 17 months of Trump's current bullshit to consider.
By the time he's done, those elections are going to be about as "fair and balanced" as a Fox News broadcast.
Even if the Republicans are corrupt and do not respect the law, we must still uphold it, because they want us to give up on the rule of law.
Trump keeps losing court cases and Kilmar is back in US soil. They fear and hate the rule of law.
They were angry. At Democrats. (And rightfully so.)
And I have no faith the Democrats will do anything meaningful when they get Congress back in 2026. (And they will.) They just kicked David Hogg out of the DNC and they're doing everything they can to silence their most effective voices, who just happen to be filling football stadiums in red states across the country.
NYC Democrats are already introducing legislation targeting the protestors
I've seen a few NY State Democratic congresspeople on podcasts calling the protesters 'rioters', which incenses me. 99.9% of them are hippies just holding up signs and chanting, and these fucking Democrats know it.
I've been giving you yanks some grief about not doing anything about the treasonous tangerine but I've got to say watching that video was quite heartening. Keep it up everyone!!
And those were just the biggest cities with the biggest turnout. There were A LOT of large turnouts in even remote or usually smaller communities. It was extremely neat to be a part of and I look forward to the next one. I'll be bringing anyone who wants to join me the next time!
Far more impressive than the military parade.
My backyard barbeque had a bigger crowd than that parade
Maybe I do love this country.
Good job, USA...
When I think about protest in the USA, it's usually a single person at the side of the road holding up some text written on paper....
But this.... This is awesome.
It's a good first step.
Absolutely. It shows just how many people are awake and ready to do something. If that many people participated in a general strike the country would buckle to demands real fast.
Kinda makes you wonder how he was elected in the first place.
He wasn't.
Feels good man.

These are the true kings of this country

I'm more surprised at how heavily everyone in Boise and Dallas showed up.
I was on public transit in Dallas and it was the most packed I have ever seen it
Good, now you know how big the support is it's time to turn it into action. I don't mean violence, but turning up on a summer's day to go for a walk and hear some people speak is not enough.
I'm not going to tell you what to do next (it's not my country) but one day is easily ignored. I know from other fights around the world that these things need persistence and sacrifice.
Small steps, friend. Progress is progress.
The thing is, part of the idea of this particular summer day was to distract from the Trump parade.
But then, just one fascist extremist with a gun posing as a cop was able to distract from the efforts of 5 million protestors.
I love the time lapse. They should do one every time there's a March.
I'm very much out of the loop. Can someone give me a tl;dr of what this is? How it got started, its goals, etc. I heard nothing about this until today.
USA is a country without kings, we don't want any.
We're protesting trump, but also his stupid military parade. We're trying to reclaim what it means to be an American.
This is a planned mass protest in the United States against the trump administration and his policies specifically concerning his stance on immigration.
Honestly this is somewhat of a milestone for my country. I've never seen anything like this.
Had fun at our local march. Should’ve brought earplugs, though. Neat to see so many people acting in solidarity, and I hope we can keep up this energy.
Edit: anyone see any vandalism? I saw some spray paint on the upper floor of a restaurant, but literally nothing else.
True beauty
As a Canadian watching in horror, is this going to change anything?
Only if it's a springboard for more.
If they all go home and do nothing more the country is sunk.
