against tRump. I am pretty experienced and a good judge of the events I see and experience. Today's NO KINGS protest is being massively under reported by the media (which is the norm).
UPDATE...I WAS RIGHT....60,000 protesters!!!!! NOT 20,000!!!!!
***********************************************************
On June 1st I added up the actual number of protests since they stop showing the number when it hits 1,000. On June 1st there were 1,700 protests planned in the US and Europe.
The immigration/deportation issue has brought out even more protesters that expected and reported.
Compared to the 2017 Women's March (which was the largest mass protest in US history) this NO KINGS protest was at least 50% more.
All groups and issues were represented.
There was NO VIOLENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!
This was NOT Jan 6th.
We must keep this up and continue to STAND UP, FIGHT BACK!!!!!
The people united can NOT be divided!!!!! We are the majority. Don't ever forget that!!!!!
NO KINGS!!!!! 
= new reply since forum marked as read
I haven't gotten around to making a post about the protest I attended in a Chicago suburb yesterday, because I was too tired last night and too busy today (due to too many unrelated events converging this weekend). But I will do it tomorrow at the latest, with pics! 
I think my adrenaline is in over drive for the past 3 days. I marched the full 2 hours and I walk really fast and my sign is very large and weighs about 4 pounds (foam core and a 3/4" dowel) and I was carrying it as high as I could since I am short (5'1"
. People around me were patting my shoulder in support since I looked like I was going to trip and fall any minute. ANGER drives me and I am VERY ANGRY and passionate. I can't help it. That is why I am losing a ton of weight without trying (down to 83 pounds now, but was 81 two months ago).
