Several thousand anti-Trump protesters marched through downtown Los Angeles on Saturday to demand the president release his tax returns.

The peaceful demonstration was one of dozens of “tax marches,” held in cities around the country on the traditional deadline for filing federal income tax returns.

The crowd of young and old, men and women and the occasional dog wasn’t protesting just President Trump’s refusal to release his tax returns: The demonstrators were protesting the Trump administration.

Crickette Oswald, 65, of West Los Angeles said she joined the march because of “everything: taxes, bombing, Social Security, Planned Parenthood, the rights of immigrants…. There’s not one thing they’ve done where I said, ‘Oh yeah, that was a good idea.’”

I attended this one. It was pretty big. From where I was standing, I could not see the front of the march or the back, since there were so many people.

1. Same in San Francisco

But the media is focused on the ugliness of Berkeley.

2. I went to a tax march today.

We had a good turnout for a rural area. There are more Democrats here all the time.

There were candidate there speaking, too. We have candidates for offices where we never had them in the past. I am encouraged.
