Here's the crowd I'm in. To the East it's more crowded, but it's not exactly wall to wall there either
You'll notice this isn't a super ultra gothic dark MAGA crowd. Hasn't been all day

"Overall this was a pretty listless and low-energy parade and crowd. People wearing Trump paraphernalia far outnumbered those wearing Army hats and shirts from what I could see.... People are now flooding across Constitution Avenue at 18th Street to leave."

“Authorities are also telling people in the area not to answer their door for a police officer unless it's two officers together, or call 911 to confirm the identity of the officer at your door. FOX 9 confirmed two state lawmakers and their spouses were shot overnight.” www.fox9.com/news/brookly...

Pretty much everything in this story is horrifying. And yet another reason why *real* law enforcement needs to be showing their faces and IDs, given the many vigilante edgelords out there looking to inflict violence upon protesters and immigrants. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Mobilization has also been nationwide. Anecdotal evidence suggests that some activists are intentionally demonstrating in their local town rather than just traveling to a nearby big city for events.

Claims that this is a disorderly movement attempting to sow chaos are false. In April and May, protesters associated with the anti-Trump movement—including those explicitly protesting ICE and Trump’s immigration policies—were extraordinarily nonviolent in their tactics.
