    I’d venture to guess more like a million+. There were tens of thousands in Denver alone.

      There was 1,000, at least, at my little protest today in the deepest red Florida panhandle. And that protest was split with another across town.

      So far I’m hearing there were tens of thousands at Trump’s dictator parade. Like, 2 tens of thousands. Everything I’ve seen so far makes that the most half-assed military parade of all time.

        Yeah, I’m hearing about 11M protesting today and like 20k at his Suckfest. Too bad it didn’t get rained out. Great to hear the turnout in your red area!

      There were thousands lining O street in Lincoln, Nebraska today, which is a small college town of ~300k people. Definitely has to be in the millions.

      Initial counts are over 5 million

      Edit: organizers are saying it was 13.14 million. Corporate media continues to downplay it to 5 mil.

    Even the article this links to begins by saying hundreds of thousands. There were 15,000 in my city alone. The estimates I’ve seen for the overall turnout in the US run from the low millions up to more than 15 million. It was a huge event.
