Now and Then:

I don’t think the numbers are irrelevant at all. That was a big protest. By people who never do that sort of thing. It matters.

All day yesterday I kept reading on the “right wing blogs” that the numbers were being elevated in the press, most likely to debunk the numbers after the fact and minimize the impact.

Now that we’re seeing exactly that play out, I still don’t see how the numbers are irrelevant. That was a huge protest. The pictures tell the story.
