We had more people at our local/suburb protest than in June. I think organizers still underestimated attendance as we never even made it to the route of the march. The crowd was trying to funnel through some tight spaces so eventually people just stood on the side of the busy streets and collected horn honks. Atmosphere was great. Everything relaxed. Many choice signs.

There is some alarming news, I didn't want to post every headline and flood Tildes, so I'm making this post. If anyone feels any are important enough to post one separately, do feel free.
