Sharp political differences over President Donald Trump's withdrawal from the Paris climate treaty and the Russia investigation brought people onto the streets in cities around the globe on Saturday, mostly to condemn but some to praise him.

The largest of the many U.S. rallies organized as a March for Truth appeared to be in New York, where as many as 3,000 anti-Trump protesters descended on Foley Square in Lower Manhattan, with some shouting "Liar!" or "Lock him up!" or "Take back America!"

Perhaps 2,000 people converged around the Washington Monument in D.C. to similarly demand an independent and transparent investigation of the allegations that Trump or his aides might have colluded with Russia ahead of last year's presidential election.

Organizers planned rallies in cities from Seattle on the West Coast to Munich, Germany and Lima, Peru. They also demanded that Trump release his tax returns.

1. Remember when Obama was president, and Saturdays were for binge watching Downton Abbey?

I miss those days.

Also, I feel guilty. I missed this march. First large one I've missed since the election.

I hang my head.
