This is serious, rigorous analysis and it should change the way the media has been covering these protests. These were, in the aggregate, *massive.*
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

"No Kings Day" protests turn out millions
Our unofficial estimate is that around 4 million people attended a protest event yesterday. Anti-Trump resistance is outpacing 2017.

MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful."
Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd.
Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

House Republicans have spent days working to advance a massive tax cut for the wealthiest Americans. They’re deciding which essential services — like Medicaid — they’ll slash to pay for it. We must keep speaking out and centering the voices of those who would be hurt most: working-class Americans.

Wonderful essay from Alain Bertaud proposing Casablanca as the quintessential urban movie:
"A Zoom meeting room could never take the place of the dealmaking that happened in Rick’s Café. We need the informality and randomness of being in person—and these are inherent aspects of successful cities."
