Abrams: The destination this nation was built on was a nation that sees all and serves all and stands for all. That's the destination. And yet we are living in a moment where ethno-fascists are in charge of the government…

For those keeping track, 12.1 million is 3.557% of the US population. Incredible work, folks.
From coast to coast, city streets to small town squares, you showed up. And it mattered.
Honored to announce: 12.1 million in attendance.

Compare and contrast scenes from yesterday in America.
On the one hand, Trump's low-energy Dear Leader parade (that cost you $45 million).
On the other, millions of people across the country gathering peacefully to say:
Here, we have no kings.

The day started with tragedy with political violence in MN and instead of being scared, neighbors SHOWED UP to stand together at No Kings Twin Cities. We packed the Capitol Mall all the way to the Cathedral. Estimate 80,000+ right now. So proud of our state. #nokings #indivisible

For reference, 11.9 million or 3.5% of the population is the magic (research supported) number. Amazing work, folks.
We’re honored to report that over 11 million showed up for today’s No Kings protest, and totals are still coming in. Just… wow. WOW 😮! There’s nothing more to say.

Palate cleansing cat video: Charlie decides if he can lie down in the spot that smells like Fleur. Watch for the moment he realizes that she is, still lying in the spot. When Charlie startles back, Fleur’s eyes dilate almost audibly. 🤣

If these three can coexist in such close quarters, it seems like we should be able to coexist too…

So basically, if everyone who went yesterday brings about 1.3 friends, 4/19 will hit the 3.5% mark.
Yesterday was incredible. The official count is in — 5.2 million people joined the #HandsOff protest nationwide. So many are asking: what’s next? Mark your calendars: 4/19 is the next nationwide day of protest.

Minnesota crowd estimates vary between 30,000 to 60,000. That means nearly an entire Vikings home game came to this rally.
You are in this photo. If you were there physically, or only in spirit, you are a part of the fight. And we’re all better off because of it.
Thanks for joining us, Minnesota!
