Probably a lot more. Those are figures for few big cities and I’ve also seen Canadian media estimate for those at 5 mill.
Doesn’t matter, it was huge, it’s not going away.
Absolutely, they are trying so hard to not tell the truth its insane, esp for Australia. Our right are scared to lose our upcoming election in May and thats who owns the media.
They are and Im so grateful people are posting videos and pictures of the huge protests. Its the biggest and Aus is covering it up Libs are scared to lose to Labor in May
The billionaires are paying a million each to buy favor from the vulgar tyrant. Right now, on a big fundraising shakedown weekend after showing he can and will crash it all.
“You sold us on equality, liberty and democracy, the pursuit of happiness, for centuries, even though we knew you were gaslighting us—Now you wanna strip those small comforts away and don’t expect us to loc the fuck up?”
Last one I attended less than a month ago had a small fraction of this number over a couple blocks, maybe up to 3 deep on/near the sidewalk. TODAY was 3X that many blocks long & what you can't see in the video is that behind those on the sidewalk were thousands more filling the park. What a change!
YES! Hands Off protests today changed the momentum. If anyone is still boycotting X, I encourage you to get back on X and "FLOOD THE ZONE." Musk will still be the richest man in the world w/ or w/o our X accounts. I could not believe the pro-democracy pushback I saw on X today. LET'S GO!
1% of all Americans protested in the streets today. That is very good. Over the summer we'll get to 3%, which revolution experts say is the amount that makes CHANGE happen!
Thank you to every person who protested today. You are heroes, you are civilian soldiers. #NonviolentResistance works.
I thought it was ME — tech-challenged! Searching all over for local coverage of our rally— and NOTHING! But plenty of local coverage of stories like rare tortoises giving birth!? WTAF??
1% of the population. At 3.5% things really change I'm told. DK why it is that figure. But there is more than 3.5% of the US adult population on Bluesky. When the history is written (and we WILL win), will it be the existence of Bluesky that helped?
YES but we should also take it the MAGA brand while we have the momentum. If you're boycotting X, I encourage you to get back on and "FLOOD THE ZONE." Musk will still be the richest man in the world w/ or w/o our X accounts. I could not believe the pro-democracy pushback I saw on X today. LET'S GO!

There was only one registered demonstration in my county, in Ann Arbor. But I have seen pictures of smaller demonstrations in at least two of our small towns. So there might be an undercount, as people apparently just showed up and demonstrated in unexpected places. 😀
（AI-transl.）3.3 million is really too few; in the U.S., there are 7,700 people who absolutely, 100%, unconditionally follow Trump blindly. Just a moment ago, I saw a MAGA person say that Trump possesses great wisdom that ordinary people’s IQs can’t comprehend.
Protests today won’t bother orange hair,
Because he really doesn’t care!
But we know that you old fuddy duddy!
We are actually after your congressional buddies!
One and done they will hear us say!
Better get off your duffs or you will pay!
#HandsOff our healthcare!
Hands off our public education!
Hands off our jobs!
Hands off my 401k!
Hands off my neighbor who has committed NO crime!!!
Hands off those Congressional seats that we are coming for in 2026!

It was such a welcome relief from the Trump/Musk/Johnson/MAGA shit show. Also, it did my heart good to see so many pumped up people peacefully assemble for common decency, truth, law and justice, freedom, science, and the values expressed in our American Creed.
Yes we do! Hands Off protests today changed the momentum. If anyone is still boycotting X, I encourage you to get back on X and "FLOOD THE ZONE." Musk will still be the richest man in the world w/ or w/o our X accounts. I could not believe the pro-democracy pushback I saw on X today. LET'S GO!
KUDOS to all the good people that took part in the mass protests today. SHAME on the networks (save ABC) for basically ignoring them. HOPE that this only galvanizes our determination to make our voices heard. Protest or acquiesce!!

#Authoritarians don't care about protests unfortunately #handsoff . Protests didn't change anything in Russia or China. Trump is insulated by #GOPand #SCOTUS. He "can shoot someone on 5th" Ave and white people will find a'both sides' excuse to VOTE for #TRUMP again. @cbsnews.com
When the scales of capital are out of balance, the streets are where the correction begins. 3.3 million people is not emotion, it's the fabric of American society speaking out. It's a map that looks like an earthquake map for a new era.
The small town protests are the best! The citizens of your town can't unsee that their neighbors are brave enough to fight back. It will give them the courage to join you. Keep it up!

There is value in speaking out on X, FOX and other right wing media outlets. Their audience is only getting one perspective, and therefore believe there is only one right way. Though we will certainly not get through to most, we may get through to some, making them real world curious.
Thanks for your thoughtful reply. Strength in numbers. There are far more people on X pushing back right now than I have ever seen. I know X can suck the soul right out of you, but the flood the zone approach does work. It is how Trump brainwashed his minions in the first place.
I’ve been so much happier off of it I’m not going back unless it gets sold. I just can’t do that to myself right now. I show up in many ways; calls, petitions, protests and here and fb. I can’t go back there.
good for you! you know your mental health, and so many feel like you do. i can't and won't spend any time there. we can all do our part that best fits us.
I respect that, as the most important part is that we all do something. I know going back into that hateful and despicable platform can be soul-sucking. Mental and physical health is the first priority. Thank you for your comment!
Absolutely! I love hearing other ways people engage. I completely understand. Thank you for taking the time to read my post and offer your thoughts. However if you decide to do it, keep fighting!
It will continue to get worse until We the People find the courage & freedom to exercise our established Rights & Liberty to unite, fight, & abolish the evil that is currently running amuck, soiling, & staining, not only our great county, but more importantly We the People. It's about self respect.

But we CANNOT stop now.
We MUST NOT stop now.

This continues for a month, and we have the beginnings of an opposition movement that politicians will be forced to choose a side on.
As a reference, there were 800 BLM protests. Some 15-20 million protested over the summer.
Thank you to every person who protested today. You are heroes, you are civilian soldiers. #NonviolentResistance works.

In the actual news. Practically crickets.
So unlike J6.

USA population 347 mlln × 3.5% = 12 mlln
Hopefully even more 19 April.
Rooting for y'all from Australia. 🙌

It has to be sustained for several months, if not years. With civil disobedience. General strikes.
This is an encouraging start, though. Hopefully, more will show up tomorrow and the following days.
I'm hunkering down for the long haul. A decade or two.
I'm afraid that most don't fathom how deep of a hole we are in. Mump has been successful at everything they've tried so far without opposition.
Today was encouraging, though.
No wonder he's hiding on his golf course
INCREDIBLE bro, no words

Rock on!
Fantastic work America, keep it going.
Stay strong, stay safe and hang in there.
The world is with you.
In my town, we're organizing them on a weekly basis.
This will spark local offline organizing.
And new candidates for local offices.
#handsoff
Organize locally. Organize offline. Then bring the results to share online, only after the action.
#handsoff
But that is Omaha, not Idaho, in the purple state of Nebraska
Ya did good!!
