Trump fired Sessions, in a moved widely reviled as a power grab for control of the Russia probe. The Mueller Protection Rapid Response has been activated.

BREAKING: PROTESTS CALLED FOR THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 5 PM LOCAL TIME

Donald Trump has installed a crony to oversee the special counsel's Trump-Russia investigation, crossing a red line set to protect the investigation. By replacing Rod Rosenstein with just-named Acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker as special counsel Robert Mueller's boss on the investigation, Trump has undercut the independence of the investigation. Whitaker has publicly outlined strategies to stifle the investigation and cannot be allowed to remain in charge of it. The Nobody Is Above the Law network demands that Whitaker immediately commit not to assume supervision of the investigation. Our hundreds of response events are being launched to demonstrate the public demand for action to correct this injustice. We will update this page as the situation develops.

Naturally, the Boston one is planned for Boston Common, across Beacon St. from the State House. None listed for Somerville or Cambridge so far.

We don't have a tag for protests? Or non-local politics?

The TV folks guesstimated about 2000. I thought rather more, though, yeah, hard to see in dark.

And quite a few more once we add in all of the suburban rallies, such as the one I attended in Arlington. That got at least 300 people and probably many more.

The more the better!

I would put it at 2-3 thousand minimum from my view on the ground, but it's quite possible that it was higher.
