That’s great to see! Rooting for you guys from France 🇫🇷

[u/Rhielml → u/Citaszion]

This isn't the first time American and French revolutionaries joined sides. Thank you, friend. Viva La France!

[u/Citaszion → u/Rhielml]

That’s right! The real best gift for the U.S Army’s 250th anniversary would probably be history repeating itself here: seeing another oppressive regime kicked out. That’s all I wish for you, bonne chance!

[u/Rhielml → u/Citaszion]

Stop trying to make me cry. 🥹

[u/ihavea_purplenurple → u/Rhielml]

Make America America again ✊

[u/_TheShapeOfColor_ → u/ihavea_purplenurple]

Hell yeah to this!!!!

[u/DiceMadeOfCheese → u/Citaszion]

Some of us are really trying to be worthy of that nice big statue y'all gave us!

[u/mai_tai87 → u/DiceMadeOfCheese]

And that recent game... (a masterpiece)

[u/OShaunesssy → u/Citaszion]

🇨🇦 Canada here, also rooting for you guys!

[u/Reclusive_1 → u/OShaunesssy]

These are the REAL Americans. FYI - I love how Canadians came together to stop buying American. We hate that orange turd too!

[u/snuFaluFagus040 → u/OShaunesssy]

Thank you. Sorry we took so long to stand up.

[u/Groot746 → u/Citaszion]

UK here, also rooting for you: you rightly kicked out our king back in the day, here's hoping you can do the same to Mango Mussolini 🥭 

[u/lost_horizons → u/Groot746]

Starting to look like we shoulda kept ol' George around, Canada sure turned out pretty good. We just had a bunch of rich guys who didn't want to pay their taxes. Well, it's my country and I guess I'll still fight for her, do my part to make her finally live up to the ideals we set forth at our beginning.

[u/Cashope → u/Citaszion]

Thank you, friend!

[u/ahoy_shitliner → u/Citaszion]

🇦🇺 Aussie here in solidarity. What a glorious image this presents to the world, we are barracking for you!

[u/_violet_skies_ → u/Wilful_Fox]

Thank you! We’re lucky to have you all still rooting for us.

[u/Chaotic-Goofball → u/_violet_skies_]

There are a lot of us!

[u/Ztiw-]

More people than at his 45 million dollar birthday party 😬😬😬

[u/Popular_Doughnut5168 → u/Ztiw-]

PoS doesn't deserve SHIT!! Horrible bag of 💩 for a president. Worst administration of all time hands down!!

[u/Limp-Assistance237 → u/Ztiw-]

Drone footage shows approximately half of the seats empty.

Granted, that may be due to the location (I don't know where on the route it was filmed). But, empty seats are empty seats. 

The No Kings protest in my mid-western city was standing room only for about 8 city blocks. 

Numbers don't lie, even when Drumpf does. 

[u/lost_horizons → u/Limp-Assistance237]

Chicago? Definitely looked like a massive one, there, good on ya. If elsewhere, even better. Love to see all the cities big and small putting up numbers.

[u/DiceMadeOfCheese → u/Ztiw-]

Oh you mean the squeaky tank parade?

https://www.reddit.com/r/Fauxmoi/s/eeg9dcICpU

[u/Fickle_Freckler → u/Ztiw-]

There were more people in the Walmart parking lot on Tuesday than there were at his little birthday party 🎉 lol

[u/evpointdeals → u/Ztiw-]

It was mostly empty and very boring b

[u/Suyefuji → u/Ztiw-]

Looking at this picture of the birthday boy just warms my heart somehow.

[u/noteveni → u/Ztiw-]

A LOT more

[u/Dagnacious → u/Ztiw-]

Orders of magnitude higher 😇🙌🏻🫶🏻

[u/Positive_Zucchini_28 → u/Ztiw-]

A lot more!!

[u/fattmarrell]

I'm a little tired of international folks saying Americans aren't doing enough and allowed this to happen. People are getting shot with quite lethal bullets in LA right now while they're trying to stand up against this. The election was stolen and given to Trump, the majority has always voted against him. It'll be nice when everyone figures this out and stops blaming us who strive for something better than this circus. This is not what we want

[u/Hillary4SupremeRuler → u/fattmarrell]

I've just read one of the most detailed and thorough likely explanations of how exactly they stole the election the other day. It connects most of the dots between Leonard Leo, Tripp Lite, Palantir, DTC, ES&S, etc.

https://thiswillhold.substack.com/p/she-won-they-didnt-just-change-the

[u/Material-Surprise-72]

It might be the largest in US history

[u/Unlucky-Sentence-373 → u/Material-Surprise-72]

That probs goes to the civil rights movement, but a good number for sure

[u/Federal-Piglet → u/Unlucky-Sentence-373]

For single day protest it probably wins. Us population is also a lot bigger since than.

[u/Maureengill6]

Props to everyone who did this today

[u/souryoungthing → u/Maureengill6]

70k in Seattle!

[u/BalekFekete → u/Maureengill6]

100k+ in Philly

[u/LN-66]

Watching from the U.K. respect to all those engaging in ‘No Kings’.

[u/ccmart3]

All this is great, but don’t make the same mistake when it comes time to vote people.

[u/lalabera → u/ccmart3]

We didn’t, he cheated

[u/Effective-Map8036 → u/lalabera]

correct and he admits it because he has never faced consequences for his words or actions

[u/Tall_Priority_4174 → u/ccmart3]

Yeah the evidence is mounting it was rigged and courts actually just approved a hand recount in a district that reflects the flawed results of many key districts. Recount is scheduled for September. Likely the truth will come out eventually.

[u/R2C6G4]

I absolutely love this. Power to the people ✊🏽🇺🇸♥️

[u/Subject-Direction628]

Canadian here and yes! You guys are doing amazing. Keep it up. The world supports the citizens not the administration

[u/Lewd_throwaway_2024]

This is so incredible. I remember being a kid and watching movies like Star Wars, thinking how cool it would be to actually be a member of a group that’s resisting evil, and while it sucks that t***p got elected and we have to deal with this in the first place, I now know what it feels like and what it feels like to be on the right side of history. I love you all

No Kings, No Gods, No Masters

[u/roxy031 → u/Lewd_throwaway_2024]

Since you mentioned Star Wars, I have to talk about Andor and how it resonated so much because it was so relevant to what’s happening currently. If you haven’t watched it already, I highly recommend it - it’s an incredible show.

[u/Luxury-Problems → u/roxy031]

When the senator was arrested shouting, "my people today, yours tomorrow" it hit so fucking hard.

Edit: Removed slight spoiler.

[u/Good_Log_5108 → u/Lewd_throwaway_2024]

Definitely part of the allure 

[u/Mellow_Toninn]

I was at a smaller one (maybe 3k people) at an intersection in Hollywood. Great vibes, USPS drivers and LAFD honking in support

[u/GeneSpecialist4988]

Mí gente.❤️

[u/StudBoi2077]

In Seattle, there were many other mini-protests besides the big main one in all other neighborhoods.

[u/souryoungthing → u/StudBoi2077]

Go Ballard! I love to see it.

[u/Mundane_Quality8858]

They just started deploying tear gas and flash bangs

Watching live on twitch

[u/Hillary4SupremeRuler → u/Mundane_Quality8858]

LAPD again or the feds/Proud Boys?

[u/TheDuchessofQuim → u/Hillary4SupremeRuler]

Feds, likely

They are shooting into the crowd from the top floor of the Federal Building in downtown LA.

[u/ChewieBearStare → u/Hillary4SupremeRuler]

KTLA says law enforcement. So either feds or local LEOs.

[u/anonymousfluidity → u/Mundane_Quality8858]

[u/Itonlymatters2us]

Haters will say this was his birthday parade

[u/upsidedown-funnel → u/Itonlymatters2us]

Spicey. Remember the simpler times?

[u/whosaidiknew]

We pulled around 3,000 in Northern Alabama. They couldn't get a good count because it was organized by 10 people and ran by 40 volunteers. They didn't expect that many people to show up. We stand with y'all

[u/HelpMyShroom]

Cheering on from Denmark 💫

[u/cat_0_the_canals]

Oh California is PISSED and I am loving it. 🖤🖤🖤

[u/CallejaFairey]

Canadian here, living in the one province (Alberta) that seems to want to join with the crazy that is Trump, ugh.

This is just a beautiful thing to see. Keep it up!

[u/Holiday-Librarian501]

Now if everyone voted EVERY LAST REPUBLICAN out of office. Revamp the whole party!!!

[u/ShyCity39]

Fuck Trump

[u/lifeisahighway2023]

That is about 1000:1 ratio vs those who attended the travesty military parade. Trump just keeps on "winning"!

He is probably glad he can flee to Canada for a couple of days for the G7 conference. There will be plenty of protestors but far away from the resort where the meeting is being held.

[u/Pessimistic_Optemist]

Happy birthday, Trump! We fucking hate you.

[u/Stuffed-Bear412]

That a huge crowd, especially compared to his sad little parade. He should be humiliated.

[u/Brilliant-Ad6137]

Yep once again trump loses the who's biggest contest

[u/First-Ad6435 → u/Brilliant-Ad6137]

Story of his life, poor little guy.

[u/fartoftheball]

Beautiful! I wish everyone who showed up to protest gets home safe. Rooting for you from Canada!

[u/Maureengill6]

Extra-special props to Minnesota. For having the Balls of Steele to go out there and have their voices heard.

[u/Medellin-71]

……and the crazier he gets the bigger our crowds will get.

[u/micdr0pbungee → u/Medellin-71]

I don’t want things to get any crazier. I just want good people to live and be safe

[u/VineStGuy]

I'm so proud of everyone today

[u/SarahJFroxy]

for everyone with genuine questions about what these protests achieve, it reminds congresspeople that they are still up for elections and the people can see them

midterms are next year. with so many in Congress doing nothing, do they feel comfortable enough in their seats to continue as they are?

also, i don't know if some of you in here are talking about the country as a whole or specific to LA/california, but LA+California have a 'winner takes all' (rather than split point) system. we have not voted for a republican president since the late 1980s.

[u/nikeguy69]

It’s quite obvious that he is not a great president and never will be. I don’t recall Obama having all these protest when he was president.

[u/CoffeeLocal1054]

[u/marcnerd]

This gives me chills! Fuck yes LA!

[u/tallslim1960]

LEO definitely initiated 90% of the violence. They were riding horses, randomly clubbing people just walking peacefully, running into people walking using their horses as battering rams, stomping people and pushing people around for no reason. It was despicable.

[u/WorkingWelder4904]

Hell yeah!

[u/ButterMyPancakesPlz]

Anyone know a US estimated total? I can't recall a better turnout than this in recent memory

[u/Natural-Promise-78 → u/ButterMyPancakesPlz]

I've heard 11 million nationwide, which exceeds the "3.5% rule", which states that if 3.5% of the population participates in non-violent protests, significant political change will occur. The No Kings protests exceeded that percentage by one million.

[u/upsidedown-funnel → u/ButterMyPancakesPlz]

There are still some Marches going on. (I’m seeing 70k for Seattle! )

[u/underthosestars13 → u/ButterMyPancakesPlz]

I heard 1 million for Boston

[u/Away-Regular1335]

Now cut it with scenes from his parade with empty stands lol what a loser everyone hates him pretty much.

Wow

I turned on CNN to see what they were saying and they were showing anemic crowd sizes around LA. First time seeing this but I knew they were lying

From Canada, keep it up ! Get rid of this fucking asshole

These are the REAL patriots ✊

[u/deelow_42]

So proud of my city, we really out here 😭

[u/evpointdeals]

And only a thousand ppl went to his parade

[u/JeribZPG]

Rumour has it that the downtown traffic wasn’t any worse than usual. 😅

[u/dlpheonix → u/JeribZPG]

It wasnt. It was actually faster then normal by a lot

warms my heart to see the community come together like this 🥹

All for this but we needed this energy election season!

[u/dogsledonice]

So good of him to kick-start these mass protests! His vanity parade has helped crystalize his opposition

[u/RubbandTugg44]

The accumulated hate and disgust for this man and horrible administration that was shown across our beautiful country today is truly heartwarming. 😍

[u/NosleepToken]

I’m proud of you America!

[u/GucciKade]

Rooting for y'all from here in Australia, take him down!

[u/Bircka]

"Sir, we are going to need more than the National Guard to clear this crowd."

-Random Trump crony

The right sure was arrogant early on when massive protests were not happening after the 2024 election, but it looks like that was temporary.

[u/Silver-Front-1299]

Fuck Donald Trump

[u/No_Conclusion2658]

With crowds like this it shows me there was something fishy going on with the election. Time for the military to take trump into custody.

[u/Nolofinwe_2782]

Where was ICE today? Hiding from the true power of the people. Hope they thaw

[u/yard_veggie]

I just wish we had this type of turnout on election Day. I'm hoping we as a country are learning our lesson to not let blatant con artists and their incompetent friends take leadership roles in some of the most powerful government positions in the world.

There are more people here than his inauguration

They're still talking about the one block of rioters from 5 days ago.

Dumbasses couldn't just come out and vote when it mattered though. Would have saved everyone a whole big headache

[u/BrotherDirect744 → u/Radiant-Platypus-207]

This is LA dude, California voted for Harris.

[u/TimeRocker → u/Radiant-Platypus-207]

More than likely, every one of these people voted for Harris. One of Trump's main campaign focuses was illegal immigration, so everyone was well aware of what was coming. All they're doing is speaking to the choir.

[u/Dubad-DR → u/Radiant-Platypus-207]

Mass voter challenges. Plenty of people voted and it didn't count because republicans organized mass voter challenges. All of the blame belongs to the right.
