The first line of this story says-
"People across the US took to the streets on Saturday to oppose what left-leaning organizations called Donald Trump’s 'authoritarian overreach and billionaire-backed agenda'."
It should say:
"Americans across the US took to the streets on Saturday to oppose Donald Trump’s 'authoritarian overreach and billionaire-backed agenda'."
The "left leaning" designation is inaccurate.

They know that if he’s back he’ll use his voice & let the world know what our government is doing to innocent people

This story is right up there with Abrego’s trafficking to El Salvador on hideousness. A family with a 10yo daughter w/brain tumor was deported, despite her and other kids being born in U.S. They’re now in hiding in Mexico & she hasn’t seen a doctor in 2 months. washingtonpost.com/immigration
