In SF, Activists Along the Political Spectrum Protest Trump's Firing of Sessions
On November 8 in hundreds of cities and towns across the nation, an estimated 100,000 Americans took to the streets to defend Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of Trump's collusion with Russia in influencing the 2016 presidential race. In San Francisco a large crowd, from loyal Democratic Party members to participants from groups from the far left, gathered in Civic Center Plaza to be part of the national call to action.

Last week, protesters gathered in Civic Center Plaza to demand that the investigation into Trump's Russia connections in the 2016 election proceed without interference. They stressed that acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker must immediately recuse himself from overseeing the investigation as he has conflicts of interest.
Indivisible San Francisco, which largely has loyalties to the Democratic party, took a main organizing role. Democratic Party political strategist Christine Pelosi, daughter of Nancy Pelosi, spoke from the stage and enjoyed street theater showing a cry baby Trump ready to be swatted by a paddle labelled "Pelosi". Far left on the political spectrum, Refuse Fascism had a prominent presence with banners and signs.
The protests were organized by NobodyIsAboveTheLaw.org, a collaborative effort of dozens of organizations that came together to safeguard the investigation of political interference by the Trump Administration in the 2016 election. Participating organizations included the Truman National Security Project, MoveOn Civic Action, Public Citizen, Stand Up America, March for Truth, Common Cause, and Indivisible, amongst others.

The latest update on the horror of racist Jeff Sessions now being defended by the Democratic Party is his history of supporting the coal industry. See https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-epa-official-trey-glenn-ethics-charges_us_5bee4848e4b0510a1f2f53af

The small band called Refuse Fascism is not Far Left as they are not socialist. They simply call for getting rid of the Trump/Pence regime. That leaves all the rest of the Democrat-Republican capitalist party in place.
This is a country of 325 million people. Getting 100,000 people in the streets is pathetic for such a large organization as the Democratic Party. Clearly, scapegoating Russians instead of stopping the tossing of the black vote in the contested states by Trump in 2016, the same as the Republicans did in 2000 and 2004, does not mobilize anyone but the robot Democratic Party voters.
The way we defeat the Trump agenda is with labor organizing. Try walking the picketline at the Marriott hotel. When labor fights back, the Trump agenda loses. It is labor who creates all wealth.
I see that you have some group, the Truman National Security Project (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truman_National_Security_Project), that supports Democrat former pres. Truman as your supporter. Here is how we remember Democrat Truman:
We remember nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki (Democrat Truman);
We remember the creation of the CIA in 1947 with $200 million from the Rockefellers and Mellons by 350 German Nazis under Nazi Army Major General Reinhard Gehlen (Truman);
We remember the frame-up and eventual execution of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg and frame-up of Morton Sobell (framed by Truman);
We remember Korea (1950-1953), with 3 million dead Koreans, 1 million dead Chinese, 36,000 dead Americans (Truman);
We remember germ warfare practiced by the US military against North Korea (see https://www.counterpunch.org/2018/01/19/the-bug-offensive/ The Bug Offensive by Wilfred Burchett) (Democrat Truman);
We remember Vietnam, with 3 million dead Vietnamese, 1 million dead Cambodians, 1 million dead Laotians, 58,000 dead Americans and thousands of other dead people (Democrats Truman, Kennedy, Johnson including under Truman the US paid 80% of the French war against Vietnam after WW2 until defeated in 1954 at Dien Bien Phu) (for more on JFK and his policy toward Vietnam and other matters, see https://www.truthdig.com/articles/joe-kennedy-iii-just-another-false-progressive-idol-like-jfk/);
We remember Truman and the founding of US military base and settler colony, thief of Palestinian land and lives called Israel in 1948 , which Zionist government has been supported by every single president from Truman to Trump, Democrat and Republican..
