It's a sunny day here here in the city by the Bay. Thousands of people are expected to fill the streets -- most of them marching against the hate groups that called rallies here. The hate groups have been sending mixed messages about whether they will go ahead with their plans or not.
At KQED News, we have a number of teams going out to various points to report on what goes on. My own sense is that if a very large number of counter-protesters -- tens of thousands -- come out, then *that* is the story.
We have a hate-inciting President, who has inspired these fringe groups to emerge from the shadows where they belong.
I'll spend the weekend coordinating our digital news coverage.
