Imagine being the largest newspaper in Washington, DC with the motto "Democracy Dies in Darkness" and thinking to publish this today.

You might think WaPo editors would look out the window and realize something more important is happening. But perhaps democracy already died over there.

This is the first day in forever that my feed was full of joy and wit instead of an unspeakable new horror every three hours.

There was an incredible turnout across small-town USA! Many events weren’t even on our radar. Our coalition initially tracked around 3,000 events, but the number has now surged past 4,000 and counting.

Organizers have reported 7 million attendees at the No Kings events and we’re happy to confirm 7 million and counting! More events are still happening across the country today, so we’ll need additional time to fully certify the final numbers.

Provincetown has a year-round population of 3600.

I'm guessing there were at least 1000 at No Kings today.

Sorry I managed not to get the people in the inflatable lobster suits!

#NoKings in Red Bank, New Jersey. This is about a quarter of it. Looks like more than a thousand people made it out. Big showing for a small borough in a red county.

This group of #NoKings protesters in Old Town Alexandria ripped the GOP for calling the rallies anti-American: “They think they’re the only patriotic ones”

Lotta folks here at No Kings, Orange County NC.

Lots of American flags, a fellow in an inflatable dino costume asking everyone if they've read the Declaration of Independence and handing out copies.

No kings in North Carolina.

I took a break at a souvlaki place and was eavesdropping on reports on a cop's radio. The front of the march was hitting the end at 14th street while there were still people entering at 47th.

Numbers coming in that NYC and DC broke records. DC more than doubled the last No Kings numbers and NYC tripled theirs.

DC estimated over 200,000
NYC estimated over 300,000
