Wondering about about turnout so far ans where to get updates. |
The Leisure World protest was loud and proud with lots of cars honking their support. |
They deleted my question about same thing. |
Falls Church was really well attended! Great signs and atmosphere. And lots of honking. |
Lots of people along certain parts of Rockville Pike. Good signs, lots of honking. No issues I saw or heard of.
Why are the protestors overwhelmingly older (most seemed to be 50+) and white? I did not see many younger protestors (like college aged) along Rockville Pike. We know that age is most prone to protesting so where were they? I hope the college kids who are so hell-bent on protesting Israel and causing mayhem on college campuses would also attend these protests - to protest a cause that has more direct impact on their lives. I just didn't see them along Rockville Pike or other pictures I'm seeing from other protests. Where were Hispanic people and black people? We know they do protests - why weren't they at this one in large numbers? Hispanics, I understand but why wasn't there a larger amount of black people protesting? Autocracy effects them just as much. |
This was posted on Instagram about an hour ago. Peaceful protest near the White House walking down what used to be called BLM way.

A friend in NOVA just sent me a text with a video of a group of no kings protesters on a pedestrian bridge over a highway – – 66 I think. They were holding up their signs and a lot of drivers were honking in support. |
You’re joking right? You’re wondering why minorities might avoid showing up to protests when ICE is indiscriminately arresting people with no regard for their status in the country? |
I said I understand why Hispanics wouldn't come out. |
There were some younger people at the protest on Rockville Pike. Morning protests aren't going to bring out a ton of younger people. From what I have seen, black and Hispanic people are standing back and white people are taking the lead, because white people are less likely to be brutalized by the police. |
There's tons of footage and photos of the No Kings marches all over my social media feeds. Some of you must live in a complete vacuum. |
Someone's drove a car into the protest in Culpeper. He is in custody. No injuries, thankfully.
