Amanda Moore is doing a great job capturing these moments and posting a real shout out to the hard work that she's putting in.

Now, as noted, this was the single biggest day of peaceful protests in the history of the United States.
And as I wanted to emphasize here, peaceful protest after all the lies that MAGA Mike Johnson and Donald Trump and MAGA were saying about these peaceful protests.
No one was arrested in New York.
Just think about it.
NYPD posted the following.
This was yesterday.
We had more than 100,000 people across the five boroughs peacefully exercising their First Amendment rights, and the NYPD made zero protest-related arrests at all, which is a great thing.
Also, San Diego police, over 25,000 people there.
The San Diego Police Department also announced no one arrested.
Thank you to the more than 25,000 people who showed up, exercised their First Amendment rights to peacefully and responsibly protest.
Thank you for keeping it classy, San Diego.
