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

“The presence of a parent matters. But what matters more, and carries further, is the parent’s character. Character is what follows our children when they are alone, unsure, or tested,” @StanMcChrystal writes:
Being a Dad Is About More Than Being Around

In an overnight ruling blocking the Trump administration from deporting a group of Venezuelans, the Supreme Court justices acted fast, ignoring some of their protocols and conventions. The court’s unsigned, one-paragraph order was extraordinary in many ways.
