The “No Kings” protests in every state may have been the biggest day of demonstrations in American history, a data analyst has suggested.
“Based on hundreds of crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don’t have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6m people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday,” independent data journalist G Elliott posted to X Sunday.
For reference, that’d mean Saturday’s demonstrations featured 1-2% of the total population of 340 million taking to the streets in more than 2,000 cities to voice their opposition to the increasingly authoritarian, far-right policies the president has pursued since assuming office for the second time.
In United States history which protests do you feel had a forever change on The United States. Not just culturally but legally. Please keep in mind that same-sex marriage will be Eliminated during Trump. We are already seeing them roll back segregation Policy. So please, tell me what you think can’t be taken away from us because we protested and then stopped protesting?
So, are you of the opinion that if a protest doesn’t yield permanent irreversible change, then it isn’t worthwhile? I think this person would disagree with you…
I’m saying let’s do it a little harder. With a bit more force.
Sorry, buddy. Putin won’t be getting his color revolution.
Nope we will just die of the plague.
Sufferagettes?
The right to vote as a women probably won’t be directly taken away, it will just be anyone’s right to vote after 2028. So while it would technically have failed to secure women’s voting in the long run, you are mostly right. I doubt they could just pull that rug out from under them.
However, on women’s rights…
The right wing is doing a pretty good job rolling back women’s rights. DEI includes women. Abortion rights. Access to birth control. Domestic violence and sexual assault service providers are now barred from receiving federal funding if they acknowledge “gender ideology.”
And obviously more to come.
