Critics of President Trump’s April 2, 2025, executive order on tariffs argue that the policy lacks clarity or direction. Yet the order is anything but vague. In fact, it offers one of the most detailed diagnoses of America’s structural trade imbalances in decades—backed by specific data, a national security framework, and a roadmap for restoring fairness in global trade.

The whole thing felt very... Convenient? And non-disruptive? And curated? On my walk home it felt more like I had just walked the St. Patrick's Day parade rather than a march against fascism.
I guess I shouldn't have been surprised to see very little news coverage of it. At the end of day, did a lot of people convene at a similar location and then leave?
I used to feel strongly that protestors shouldn't disrupt "regular folks" lives, but was this over optimized to be too easily ignored?

I fear that there is always a tug of war between demonstrations like these: where one side is looking to either disrupt and the other to maintain the status quo. It's easy for me to say this just as an attendant, but I fear the organizers were victims of their own success in following the rules for a march that was convenient for everyone
I can't help but think about recent student protests here that have spurred on many calls to action, where there was a 2/1 LEO to protestor ratio.
