I am pretty experienced at estimating protests since I've attended over 30 between 2016-2020, and 2025. Just from looking at the fact that 2,000+ on June 14th and we already have that number currently. I expect with 4 more weeks to go there will be at least 20 million. 13.5 million was 3.5% of the US and Malcolm Nance says that is the "magic number" for a mass protest to be taken as a serious national issue.

NO KINGS on June 14th was sooooooo huge that the MSM actually mentioned it...they NEVER do that. I just wrote to Lawrence O'Donnell to see if he will cover this story BEFORE the protest takes place.
