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

Movements succeed when they have mass participation—the safer it feels for people to participate, the more likely it is the movement will succeed. Protests are helpful because they show safety in numbers. If the protests aren’t safe, people won’t show up or do other actions (like strike).

Something protesters kept telling me about the big demonstration during the first impeachment vote was that *they were pleased that it was safe.* They talked a lot about specific things they had done or how they had showed up for each other.

@booker.senste.gov - I hope during the next couple hours either Booker or a questioner calls out the election in Wisconsin today, it’s an important part of the ongoing fight. Let’s get out the vote

I have been emailing @theintercept.com for months asking to cancel. They responded once, asking for the last 5 of the CC and the last date charged. Since then - silence, but the charge continues. Do not sign up for this newsletter; no phone support, only emails that they do not respond to.

You are up to date.
