There is a difference between protest being done with purpose and protest being done as a performance. All this No Kings nonsense amounts to is a glorified political pep rally that accomplishes nothing legally but gives liberal news outlets something to talk about.
Nigga no you don't if you are protesting deportation! They broke the law and are being returned home.
Libs are so insular. They really think "US soldiers in WW2 were antifa
" is a cutting edge point. That shit was debunked instantly like 10 years ago. You can't even tweet that kind of thing without 8 chuds posting graphs about how every soldier back then was a white nationalist Christian extremist.
samuel adams would call these people niggers and jackanapes but mostly niggers
These tweets seem extremely desperate to make this out to be a big deal
I might sound like a conspiracy nut saying this, but after an extreme fed-posting incident involving mentions of weapons of mass destruction and believable threat involving the production of them, I got extremely Black Pilled on the entire "anti-vaxxx" protest movement. The agents that showed up to investigate were organizers of such protests, I recognized from having been very active in the protests. The fed-posting incident was about the entire coof authoritarian totalitarian policy and I suppose the goal was to let me have a look behind the veil to let me know
No can't say that I have since I'm not a gay theater fag. I think the most recently produced musical I have seen was Les Miserables (which is inferior to the Victor Hugo book)
I've been in bigger crowds in DC.
If I refuse to acknowledge the chuds, then their graphs cannot harm me.
Kind of insult to the cereal TBH, it makes for a nice oatmeal alternative!
I'm sure his dad would be proud of his loser son.
They gave up on the little protests because they had no energy to them and it was just boomers having a fun day at the park chatting and hitting Trump themed piñatas and shit. Even if the amount of people participating are the same in both events, having everybody concentrated in a few cities makes for better photos.
I think it is Soros money out of desperation to try to derail the investigation into him for RICO charges. There are a LOT of wealthy people on the left who could be taken down over their financial support of ANTIFA and related orgs, and you know they will be sweating as long as Trump is in charge.

When reporting from protests, campaign events or other gatherings, we want to bring readers into the action on the ground.

Estimating the size of a gathering is an inexact science. There are techniques and best attempts that may approach accuracy, but determining how many people are attending an open event is difficult. And, typically that is not the focus of our reporting.
We cover the action, the people, the mood and, yes, the scope. But rather than counting heads, we encourage reporters to describe what they see: “Marchers filled 15 blocks,” “jammed the streets” and “packed so tightly at times that they could barely move.” Our photo and video teams add a visual layer that lets readers see for themselves.
We will usually give a rough estimate (hundreds, thousands, millions) of the crowd size based on what a location capacity is, how many people signed up for an event, what the police who are working crowd control tell us and what our reporters witness. This estimate, like those from other organizations, is not free from controversy.
In 2017, our graphics team wrote about how crowds at presidential inaugurations have been counted for the past 150 years. This piece also includes why the National Park Service no longer gives official estimates of those crowds.
When a story becomes more about the size of the crowd than about the actual event, we investigate. Our data and graphics teams report and analyze as they did in this article comparing rally sizes of the 2024 presidential candidates. The methodology at the end of the piece illustrates the work it takes to get beyond an estimate.
