Overheard an organizer talk to a police officer about counterprotesters outside the plaza. Said safety is not at risk. Wanted to go check them out but the dense crowd makes it hard to maneuver. It looks like there's a significant number outside the fence in addition to the capacity crowd inside.
There are a lot of references on Atlanta's #nokings signs and in speeches to Georgia's own Martin Luther King Jr.
Rep. Jasmine Clark gave what could be a preview of her stump speech as she prepares to Congressman David Scott. The professor of microbiology said she will "take Trump to school."
Shortly after the Atlanta #nokings event kicked off at 10, organizers said Liberty Plaza near the state Capitol had already reached maximum capacity of 5,000.
A crowd is forming about an hour before Atlanta's #nokings protest is set to begin. Yellow-vested volunteers are making last- minute preparations, and so are police. Also, a band is warming up.
Happening now: Union of Southern Service Workers and others are protesting the arrest of SEIU California President David Huerta and ICE raids in LA and Georgia.

Ran into former state Sen. and AG candidate Jen Jordan today. Jordan told me she's not running for office in 2026 because she wants to spend time with her youngest daughter, who will be preparing to graduate high school and head off to college. She said she may consider running in a future cycle.
