... but I can spot several other things as well. What I like is that everyone who showed up had their own reason for protesting, it wasn't a monolithic thing. Some of the women were there for misogyny, others were protesting health insurance issues. Some of the signs seems to be supporting Palestine. Some just don't like Chump.
