THE RESISTANCE IS ALIVE AND WELL
‘We Are Democracy’: Thousands Rally in Hundreds of Cities to #ProtectMueller and Warn Trump #NobodyIsAboveTheLaw

Across the country thousands right now are protesting President Trump’s firing of Jeff Sessions and his installation of Matthew Whitaker, an act prominent attorneys say is not only illegal, but unconstitutional.
MoveOn.org and Indivisible are among the groups protesting to demand Congress “Protect Mueller,” to allow the Special Counsel’s Russia probe be allowed to continue unimpeded in any manner. Whitaker has already said there was no collusion and has said Mueller has gone too far.
There are reportedly over 900 protests tonight.
Here are clips from Times Square:
