Some estimates of total participation are as high as eight million people, which would be among the very largest political protests at any place or time.

One of the largest rallies took place outside the Minnesota Capitol, where the singer Bruce Springsteen performed “Streets of Minneapolis,” which he wrote to protest the immigration crackdown that led to the fatal shootings of two American citizens by federal agents in January.

“They picked the wrong city,” Mr. Springsteen told a crowd of thousands, adding that “these invasions of American cities will not stand.”

This song always makes me think of Donald Trump in the 1980s:

Meanwhile, I didn’t realize Dime Store Goebbels is actually living on an army base, like Frankie Five Angels.

In Washington, D.C., some protesters marched to the military base where Stephen Miller, the White House official overseeing the mass deportation push, has been residing. Some chanted, “Stephen Miller’s got to go,” and “We’ve got the people outside your door.”

The size and passion of these protests certainly seem to be having sobering effect on the Trump administration:

A White House spokeswoman, Abigail Jackson, called the protests “Trump derangement therapy sessions” in a statement on Thursday.
