Elaborating b/c there's a lot of misunderstanding on this.
Insurrection Act does nothing except you can then use soldiers as cops. They can enforce laws, but they're the same old laws. It doesn't suspend the Constitution. No martial law, no closing courts, no removing state officials, none of that.

Even if he did, which I'd bet is likelier than not, none of this is true. The Insurrection Act is not a declaration of martial law. It doesn't close the courts. It doesn't suspend habeas corpus. It means you can use the military to enforce federal laws, but the laws themselves remain the same.

The event organizers say 7m people showed up. That would mean ~1 out of every 50 Americans came out to protest the president

Michelle Wu’s address at No Kings was basically “We are actually awesome, cities like this and LA and Chicago are what make America great and that bothers some people” lol
