Update 4/7: As information continues to be gathered about the Saturday protests, the numbers keep going up. It's now estimated that upwards of 1400 communities participated, and that crowds either exceeded 100,000 or came close to that number in Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, Boston, St. Paul,MN and elsewhere as well as Washington. It now appears that the number of participants exceeded a million--maybe millions. Photos continue to circulate on social media and online, though--even more than usual--the established press (including the NY Times and Boston Globe) downplayed these demonstrations, even in their own coverage area.
In her Monday show, Rachel Maddow ran video as well as still photos, with more of both at her Bluesky site. She noted that mass demonstrations have brought down authoritarian regimes when they are recurrent and persistent. Another day of protest has been called for April 19.

ORIGINAL POST 4/5: In more than a thousand communities in all fifty states as well as elsewhere in North America and the world, hundreds of thousands answered the call to show their resistance to King Chaos and his minions on Saturday, April 5, 2025.
In Washington DC, a crowd of 100,000.
Demonstrators filled twenty blocks of New York City.
There were large crowds in Chicago, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Boston, Pittsburgh, Denver, Salt Lake City, Indianapolis, San Antonio and other cities, and impressive participation in smaller cities like Akron, Ohio and Ames, Iowa, Salisbury, Maryland and Lansing, Michigan.
Crowds displayed their signs in red states and blue, in smaller places as well as big cities. For instance, here in Eureka, California. (Thanks to Lost Coast Outpost for photos.Click on them to enlarge.)
The Eureka event was among the largest demonstrations ever held here.
All hands on deck in Eureka.
Final thoughts from NYC
And one from Eureka...
