@Mirabeaulacht @tagesschau Außerdem wird so getan, als seien es die ersten Proteste seit dem Amtsantritt. Dabei gab es schon am 4.3. und 14.3. landesweit Demonstrationen, auch wenn es da eher "Tausende" waren. Unterschlagen wird auch die Erkennungszahl der Bewegung 50501 - #50501movement .
Estimated 50-80k people in Downtown LA today. We can and we must continue to do this. We need to double the 5 million that came out today across the nation.

Millions protested yesterday and not a single police officer was bear-sprayed.
Hope they noticed.

"Hard to capture the crowd, which I’d guess was maybe 2,000. Very encouraging to us. "
Indy Star says "hundreds" of protesters today... there were easily 5000 people.

@RNDAudience (many Trackers on Webpage, have @ublockorigin up and running, please) with a pretty positive repor.

German SPIEGEL (no active #Fediverse Account) refers to German history:
‘First they come for the scientists’ is what Pamela, 61, who does not want her surname published, wrote on her sign - in reference to the quote by Martin Niemöller:
’When the Nazis brought in the communists, I kept quiet, because I wasn't a communist.’

From Colorado Public Radio.org: Thousands join ‘Hands Off’ protest against the Trump Administration at the Colorado State Capitol
Quite the increase in participation at the local #50501Movement protest today! It has been about a block of people on both sides today stretched to 3+ blocks with folks stacked in behind.
I'm still using my Ukraine support sign but saw lots of ideas for next time if I need a change up. 
My DH carried the big US flag.
