taking it to the streets

[redbird]

I just sent a couple of thousand texts inviting people to participate in pro-democracy count-the-votes rallies tomorrow, in cities around the US. The one in Boston is in Copley Square at 11 a.m., and here's a link to find one in your area.

Those went out mostly around noon EST; a couple of hours later it seems as though the rallies may not be necessary

May not be necessary any more (fingers crossed), but sounds like they're fun -- here's the Guardian reporting from the "count every vote" rally in Philly:

It’s the second day crowds have gathered here as workers continue to count ballots inside. But the mood is noticeably different - it’s much more jubilant today than it was on Wednesday or Thursday when protesters were more confrontational. Joe Biden overtook Trump’s lead in this key swing state earlier today.
