Protest in Trump 2.0 Looks Different

Last Saturday, I paid a visit to a little slice of the resistance in its current, attenuated form. Since Donald Trump's second inauguration, there have been many street protests, but they have been small and diffuse: a few hundred people angered by the defunding of USAID, or a couple thousand in support of national parks. The most organized effort so far, the 50501 movement (for "50 states. 50 protests. 1 movement."), is a coalition of activists whose name telegraphs breadth much more than depth.
