More than 70 planned protests were organised by CODEPINK
[PUBLISH.TWITTER]
In Miami, nearly 50 protesters gathered. Drivers heard people shouting, “No more drone murders,” “We want peace now” and “What do we want? Peace in Iran.”

A few hundred demonstrators gathered in Times Square on Saturday, chanting “No justice, no peace, US out of the Middle East!”
Golly. Nearly 50 and a few hundred? No wonder we have to look to Pakistan’s English language to hear about something that didn’t make any of the usual American news amalgamators.
Update from the Cincinnati Enquirer in the middle of the night, which I mostly stopped reading once I found Rantburg:
A group of activists gathered at Fountain Square around noon on Saturday as part of a nationwide protest to rally against a new war in the Middle East.

Over 70 cities across the country are said to be a part of the protest, spearheaded by the Answer Coalition.
...that’s Code Pink, International ANSWER, and all the rest of the usual Communist and pro-Palestinian suspects...
According to their website, the day of action scheduled for Jan. 4 was in direct response to the killing of Iranian military leader general Qasem Soleimani.

"We came out today to show that the people of Cincinnati along with the people of the United States are opposed to a war with Iran," said Ben Jarvis, a teacher with Cincinnati Public Schools. "We are very afraid that there's going to be an escalation of conflict in the Middle East."
Based on the photo at the link, there may be as many as two dozen of you, all one or another variety of patheticness.
"Both democrats and republicans have coordinated efforts and combined to wreak havoc on this entire region," said Mike Jasko of the Party for Socialism and Liberation.
...Maoist splitters...
"What we're seeing with the air strikes of the assassination of an Iranian general is that we're seeing tensions escalate, and they want another war."

Jasko and Jarvis emphasized that the group will gather again at Fountain Square next Saturday at noon for another demonstration.
Oh yay. Another opportunity for mockery and, if the weather continues as it did on Saturday, pneumonia.
