💪🏼 We need to do this more often
Via Alt US Customs:
According to 50501, the organizers behind #NoKings, & @altnps.bsky.social, over 11 million people showed up in over 2,000 locations yesterday. These are the numbers we need to start getting through to the people we need to hear us.
@GottaLaff That's about 3.2% of the population. I wonder if we can hit 3.5 by the end of the summer.
EDIT: It looks like the real number is probably far lower, somewhere in the 4-6 million range. That's still very good, the biggest mass protest in US history, but AltNPS is not a reliable source.

@GottaLaff I've looked into this a little bit more and it looks like the real number is probably in the 4 to 6 million range. AltNPS appears to be an unreliable source, as does nokingsmovement.com (the real No Kings website is nokings.org).
~5 million is still an incredible, record-setting turnout.
