Pushback 112
No Kings protesters estimate that over 7 million people marched yesterday, although you'd barely know that from looking at the NYT front page. Regardless, local news outlets covered a lot of the protests, especially in smaller towns and red states that would actually be purple if it weren't for gerrymandering. I'll try to get as many links in here as I can. Some of the best quotes are from people who have never been to a march or demonstration before. These events are for them.
