For the second time this month, hundreds of thousands of people in hundreds of cities across the United States protested in opposition to the threat of fascism under the Trump administration. From major cities to small towns, at virtually every state capitol, and at several Tesla dealerships, workers, students and retirees demonstrated against escalating attacks on democratic rights and rising inequality, and in defense of immigrants.
While tens of thousands protested in Washington D.C., New York City, Chicago and Los Angeles, thousands more protested in rural and mid-sized towns. Hundreds rallied in Bloomington, Indiana; 150 people protested in Crossville, Tennessee; some 2,000 people protested in Nashville, Tennessee; and over 1,000 in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
I’m super fucking angry right now. While saying “thousands of protestors” is technically correct, every single media outlet down played that it was 100’s of thousands. Then for the hands off protest, they’re saying 100s of thousands instead of millions.
I am not a socialist, but this is the only source that listed out all of the major cities and seemed to do accurate journalism. Go suck on some easter eggs NPR and all of the other shitty sites that want to downplay people fighting for our democracy.
What’s funny to me is that the local rally wasn’t put on by socialists, it was put on by Democrats.
Can’t even talk about liberal rallies now?
Democrats aren’t liberals.
It depends on the Democrat. There are centrists, liberals, and progressives in the Democratic Party.
Hey did you hear there are multiple definitions of “liberal” or do you just wanna seem smart
Doesn’t mean what I said was wrong. If you want to talk about individual democrats that’s one thing, but the party as a whole is not a liberal one by any definition.
Not a liberal one by A definition. It is considered liberal here, where it exists. Which is another definition.
You wanna keep doing this or can we both move on 😒
Your pissy downvotes mean nothing to me
And no one cares.
Do you mean like NPR and Reuters?
