there will be 3 separate rallies

Million MAGA March: attending will be a who's who of white supremacy, q-non and the my pillow guy along with a few republican representatives and Gorka.

Stop the Steal: Organized by Alex Jones. EventBright took down their announcement (among others) when violence was promoted.
It is now a "caravan" with a variety of White Nationalist groups vowing to go to major cities in the USA.

March for Trump: Organized by Cindy Chafian of Women for America First, claims 10,000 people will attend

The counter protest will be held at 11:30 by Refuse Fascism and his calling for non-violence

I read in one of his biographies that Deaky came up with the riff and then they all went to lunch, agreeing to flesh out some music and words after. Upon returning he had forgotten it and panicked a bit, but... under pressure... Bowie finally remembered. And then, of course, the divas went right to trying to outdo each other. Lucky for us!
