Why is he the line? RFK Jr should have been the line they wouldn't cross. Or Patel or Noem or Bondi and on and on.

And I brought the people counter to this one, but the crowd was too dense and spread into far of areas adjacent to the park, so U couldn't use it.

It was my estimate, based on found actual counts with a people counter at the previous protests. This one was clearly twice as big as the June 14 one, and logged in more than 3K on the people counter for that one.

I'm so sick of the NYT Times for having editorials like this. I cancel them, then resubscribe, repeat, repeat.

So, it met their racist goals.

Of course! And some of them were paid by Koch.

That paper's estimate is off by as many decimals as was Trump's 1st inauguration estimates - but in the opposite direction.

So true! It reminds me of how the Dem establishment didn't like Howard Dean's popular campaign in 2004. The media piled on, too. If they had supported him, history would be different because he reached the working folk in a way that no other Dem has succeeded in doing since FDR. (Obama, excepting).

Kai, this post nails it! I've been working with families that have their only reliable income from undocumented adults. And they're in trouble, an inch away from being homeless. Teenagers are being forced to support the family because our social safety nets were meager & now are disappearing.

But the biggest message is the photo - malicious compliance!

Look at these crowd photos and then view this one taken at the June 12, 1982 anti-nuke/peace protest in NYC's Central Park.

History now says 1 million people attended that rally.

Do you see a difference? I don't, and I was at the anti-nuke protest.

News outlets are underestimating crowd sizes.

I'm enjoying using my power to speak up for those who face danger if they speak up.

Rand Paul makes sense.

Think about that for a moment.

Rand Paul: "When you kill someone, if you're not in a declared war, you really need to know someone's name at least. You have to accuse them of something. You have to present evidence. So all of these people have been blown up without any evidence of a crime."

Does this photo look familiar? It's of the million-person protest in NYC's Central park on June 12, 1982 (I was there & 1st photo is mine).

But isn't interesting how the number counters & journalists did not underestimate crowds four decades ago, like it seems is happening in this new protest era?
