Even in a decentralized, far-flung thing like this, there are still the places where just the sheer number of people in one place is overwhelming.

Organizers say this weekend's flagship No Kings protest in St.

Paul

Did you see there on the lower left?

They say that was the largest demonstration of any kind in the history of the state of Minnesota.

Biggest protest of any kind ever in that state.

Los Angeles in the upper left there was huge.

Boston, upper right there, that was huge, which was all the more impressive because there were more than 160 different No Kings protests in Massachusetts all at the same time, and Massachusetts isn't that big a state, but Boston still had nearly 200,000 people turn out at that one No Kings protest alone.

Boulder, Colorado, lower right there, that was big as well.

Boulder, Colorado was big, as was

Denver, Colorado, which you see in the upper right there.

And again, that is particularly impressive given that Denver and Boulder are only 30 miles apart.

But both cities simultaneously had huge no-kings protests.

Upper left there, look at that sea of people in Chicago, Illinois.

Chicago, you would expect them to turn out numbers like that after that city fought back so hard against the attack on that city by Trump's ICE agents this year.

San Francisco in the lower left there was huge.

Lower right there, that's Minneapolis.

And again, the size of the turnout in Minneapolis and on the other side of the river in St.

Paul, where they had the largest demonstration in state history, both of those things happening on the same day.

It's just very impressive.
