For some reason (maybe I'm OCD) I keep track of protests and numbers. It's probably due to the fact that I've been to 30 protests since 2016 and I am getting experienced looking at the number of protesters and the number that the MSM report, if they even report on them at all.

No Kings in San Diego was 80,000 when originally reported at 60,000.
No Kings nationwide had 11 million then it was updated to 13.5 million (over 3.5% of the US population. That seems to be the magic number (according to Malcolm Nance) that will bring attention to our cause but he also says we must do that all the time. Small and large protests constantly is the key to success.

The MSM is finally covering protests. It took them long enough...8 YEARS!!!!
