"No Kings organizers estimated the day’s events have so far drawn millions of people, with some hundreds still under way in all 50 states and to some cities abroad. These included over 200,000 in New York and over 100,000 in Philadelphia, plus some small towns with sizable crowds for their populations, including the town of Pentwater, Michigan, which saw 400 people join the protest in their 800-person town, the No Kings coalition said."

Puts a smile on my face seeing every headline today be about the protests/turnout and no mentions of """violence""" but not a single headline about how Trump's military parade went

I just assumed that shit was actually cancelled because of the weather report a few days ago. It actually still going through but not be reported on is exactly what I was hoping for.

Nope, it happened. Just nobody cared to report on it
