This will be huge! My stats from No Kings June 14th show there were 13.5 million people (originally they said 5 million, then 11 million). San Diego had 80,000 (originally they said (thousands, then tens of thousands then 60,000).
I've been to 30 protests during tRump's terms in office so far and I have become pretty good at estimating numbers and everyone is more accurate than anyone from MSM, who only recently started to report rallies at all.

3.5 % of the US population must attend a protest to be taken seriously. We hit that with 13.5 million! Malcolm Nance says that is the magic number/percentage.
