Now that @gelliottmorris.com has written the topline numbers, for @thexylom.com's FREE newsletter, I divulged some behind-the-scenes details of how this collaborative reporting/ data gathering effort came about (spoiler: Google Sheets broke at least twice because so many of you were helping out!)

Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop! Mobilized anti-Trump resistance is exceeding 2017 levels
