West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.bsky.app

If it was tallied only using event registrations then the real number was much higher. Not putting your plans online beforehand is one of those commonplace cautionary measures many people do, like leaving your phone at home, or giving it a quick scrub and turning off location data/ biometrics before attending. I didn't register.
Most people aren’t aware they are being watched with beacons, but the “beacosystem” tracks millions of people every day. Beacons are placed at airports, malls, subways, buses, taxis, sporting arenas, gyms, hotels, hospitals, music festivals, cinemas and museums, and even on billboards.
Trump doesn't care.
Dude is clearly going to do what he wants, as far as he's concerned he has a mandate to enforce his will on America.
The level of cultist thinking in the Republican camp is at 11. After years of "you either support Donald or you're a RINO" indoctrination, and then Republicans are the real Americans, anyone who doesn't support Donny is the enemy not a fellow American.
The protests are good for reminding people who already dislike Trump that there are people out there that dislike Trump, and for witty protest signs, but I doubt it makes any inroads to the 30% of Americans who are deep in the cult and likely can even be spun as an "attack" (metaphorically or literally) at a moments notice by Fox News (just show some French protestors burning something and then say it happened in come city no one will ever visit and boom).
A reminder that if you're in a red state, change your party affiliation to Republican ASAP. You can vote for the least crazy person in the Republican Primary (or write in something else if they're all crazy) and it will make you harder to purge for the 2026 elections.
This!Trump doesn't care.

I didn't research it any further. Just an anicdotal comment that she dropped to me.I was thinking there had to be at least one if those today. When a beat up cyber truck, or any maga pickups for that matter, drove past us that was on my mind.
The protests are never for those that vote Maga. They're doomed and until something is affecting them personally, they will not bulge. And it's not something that they will see happening to others, no. Just them personally suffering. No empathy.Trump doesn't care.

Eh, his wasn't the only camera around. WTH. People have to not be paranoid. If we're afraid to let it be known we're concerned that things aren't gong well, we're as bad as Russia, NK, Belarus, China, what have you. NORMALIZE protest in America and we have a chance!Maybe in future you should blur faces? Just saying...
OK, watched 2 1/2 minutes of that 34 minute video. It's kind of racist. She is saying "we" but she means we blacks. We've got to be more inclusive to achieve unity.
Honestly if black folks don’t want to champion this us white folks can and honestly we should do it. We tend to rely on black folks to do this stuff, we need to carry some of the burden.OK, watched 2 1/2 minutes of that 34 minute video. It's kind of racist.
