The protests in Buffalo seem to be getting bigger each time, but I worry about burnout. I've been to the two major ones, but I understand others have been happening inbetween almost weekly. I didn't see porta potties at this one which made me wonder if they were running out of $$. I did see the police step up there game. After the MAGA counterprotesters started getting nastier (they drive around Niagara Square fast, intimidating the crowd and blaring their horns so you can't hear the speakers--I think one got out of his car and pushed someone, though he did get arrested), they closed down vehicle access to the square, which really made the event much nice with room to spread out and a lot of people chose to march around the circle as well.
Thanks for posting. If we do not protest -- nonviolently -- now, it will be too late. Indeed, many believe it already is. Let us use those of our freedoms that still remain intact!

Nothing to note here. We had about 4,000 protestors in the county. Do you know how many in Buffalo?
Thanks, Lenny.
