The first one had 5 million, and the second one had 7 million. Yesterday’s was the third one.

No need to be fatalistic.

  • the previous protests were huge. Keeping up steam is more important than growing.
  • 13% increase is still significant growth.

somewhere between 1 and 2 million new voices added to the bunch. it's also not really plateauing, at least not in any way significant enough to make us believe whe can't still place our hope and faith in the possibility of linear growth for the next round. and when we do plateau we'll know what we've got.

this is the strongest mass support movement i've seen in politics in the south since Occupy Wall Street. something is alive amongst The People, who refuse to be broken, refuse to have less in this world than everything their dignity demands. people are engagede with community support in ways i have never seen in my entire life.

i have hope and faith that we can end this selfish autocracy and win our freedom from these greedy parascites.
