[Emile]

10. 100 times more than what will be at Trump's inauguration.

[Think. Again.]

11. My deepest gratitude to The People's Marchers!

[Ms. Toad]

12. About half of the women in my extended family are there.

At least 3 generations.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

17. That is great

Thank your family for being in this match

[electric_blue68]

48. Wonderful! Ty to them!

[DENVERPOPS]

13. They should do it on Jan 20

and get a million people.......Maybe it would divert the attention of the main stream media's attention away from constant coverage of Trump and his inauguration.....

[Wiz Imp]

22. No one could ever get a permit for a large gathering on the same day as the inauguration.

[brakester]

69. And,

hasn't the froot looperator threatened to shoot demonstrators in the knees?
I thought THAT was why they planned for this before the inauguration.

[magicarpet]

14. Big,... big,.. big crowd,... Thank You for posting.

[pfitz59]

15. Not afraid of the cold

shame the MAGA wimps.

[Wiz Imp]

20. It's not all that cold today. Temperature in the mid-40's

Temperature on Monday will be low 20's at highest with wind chills in the single digits.

[paleotn]

28. We know.

[senseandsensibility]

16. Thanks for pointing out that this is not a small march

and is larger than the number that would have attended the inauguration. MSNBC is downplaying it by saying that it is much smaller than the one in 2017, and bemoaning the fact that no celebrities are involved. And while I definitely think celebrities and politicians should be there, I am glad that the people are there.

[RockCreek]

21. Was there a difference in publicity?

I was at the one in 2017. I just found out about this one from this post. I am avoiding a lit if news, but I didn't get emails as I woukd have expected, or anything else.

[senseandsensibility]

35. You make a good point

There doesn't appear to have been a lot of publicity but I was happy to see a good sized crowd. I think politicians and celebrities staying away could have contributed to the lack of coverage.

[oberle]

40. There was a lot of notice....

....in the DMV. I went in 2017 but my legs hurt so badly for days afterward that I could hardly walk. I was afraid that at the age of 77 I would be in worse shape today. In 2017 if I recall there were 500,000 people there and no arrests (of course, we're not republicons).

[electric_blue68]

50. I certainly heard about it here... ?4-6 weeks ago. Posdibly google news feed, too.

[barbtries]

65. i tried really hard

to promote it on BlueSky and fb, but it was clear early on that it was not gaining traction the way it played out in 2017.

which reminds me, I'm going to have to switch out my pinned post on BlueSky...

[I_UndergroundPanther]

68. It was all over tik tok and was really

Promoted there

[Easterncedar]

18. Thanks for posting!

One of my sisters is there; couldn’t find her in the crowd. It is heartening to see so many folks standing up for us all.

[dchill]

19. Maybe this is the real reason they moved it inside.

[Crowman2009]

25. Orange Shitler was afraid of his Ceaucescu moment finally arriving.

The boos were going to drown out his senile babbling.

[electric_blue68]

51. HAHAHAAA

[elleng]

23. It's 20+ degrees warmer today than it will be on Monday..

[ShazzieB]

24. This is lovely to see!

There were marches scheduled all around the country today; I wonder what those crowds were like. There was at least one that I could have gone to, but I just can't hack being outside in the cold that long (it's a lot colder here than in DC today). When I was younger, I could have handled it, but not now.

[yellowdogintexas]

63. we had maybe 250 in Fort Worth, it was cold and the wind came in just the right direction

to create tunnels. We were also unable to march in the morning due to the Stock Show Parade, which is the largest parade in the US with nothing motorized in it. All horseback or in buggies pulled by horses. Our step off was at 5:45

We were unable to get a permit because of the unholy cleanup involved after a couple hundred horses have passed through; without a permit we had to stick to the sidewalks.

It was not well publicized.

[rich7862]

26. A Huge Thank You For standing for your belief in democracy.

[rambler_american]

27. Thanks to everyone marching on our behalf

It gives me hope.

[bdamomma]

45. Good to

see so many "woke" people. Thanks to all who attended.

[Traildogbob]

29. Ditto to all the thank you's.

The pix offer hope, which seems to be slipping fast.
We aint over yet!

[NoMoreRepugs]

30. Respect.

[Lovie777]

31. Will it be televised?........

or corporate ignore it.

[GreenWave]

32. Brought huge smiles to me!

[mountain grammy]

33. Wonderful to see this

Big Thanks to all.

[Skittles]

34. FUCK obeying in advance

FUCK cutting and running overseas

STAY AND FIGHT!

[bdamomma]

44. This is our

country, fuck the Oligarchy/Fascist pigs.

[Skittles]

46. DAMN STRAIGHT

[calimary]

58. HELL YEAH!!!

[jmbar2]

36. Inspiring! Thanks for posting.

[Historic NY]

37. Looks like Donald is afraid of the people that are showing up.

[Linda ladeewolf]

38. Beautiful!

It looked like this March was bigger than trumps first inauguration! They say it only take 3.5 percent of the people to halt an authoritarian regime and eventually get rid of them. That’s why the young people are staying off, meta, X, Instagram and any other platform these people operate. I wish the young luck and a lot of courage.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

39. Don't ever tell me that Trump can't get crowds in D.C.🤣

[Stargazer99]

70. Makes one wonder how morally sick people live in this country that they supported this Godless person

[maxrandb]

42. This protest would be more impactful

If I didn't have to read about it on a fucking South African Nazis Social Media site.

Oh look, we protested Nazis...let's put the video on Eloons Nazi website.

Get Off "X" people.

[Justice matters.]

75. At least "oligarch 1" will see it from his crystal tower...

Reality is, hundreds of millions of registered users don't all live in the USA, and those who do form a big majority of his brain-dead followers, so better they see it too.

[bdamomma]

43. Wow,

this is just the beginning. Thank you all who attended!!!! And Esper said to the felon during the George Floyd protests, you can't shoot American citizens.

[BigmanPigman]

47. It's a good thing I saved all my protest signs.

I wish I didn't have to dust them off and use them again. Deja vu sucks!

[Fla Dem]

49. So encouraging to see .

[usonian]

53. Wow! Everyone but Forrest Gump

But he might be there and I can't see him.

54. Notice how they are not attacking the Cap

55. TY, LMPV for all these wonderful vids, and photos! TY to all the marchers there, and local city ones!

I've been to a lot of Marches & Rallies in DC. This is a good size one. 👍

Some say they aren't effective now, but I think if "nothing else" they give hope, and energy for us to see each other I think that's a powerful thing on a subtle level for the longer haul.
We believe in these things, we want them (depending) to stay, or become reality our country.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

56. We will not go back

57. WE Will NOT Go Back! 👊

[Dem4life1234]

59. And they kept it classy

Unlike his cave dwelling supporters Jan 6.

I don't know what a protest is supposed to do with this criminal.

Dems should have showed out November at the booth where it fucking mattered.

[Ilsa]

60. I hope it resumes ahead of noon, Monday, so they microphones

pick up their chants outside of the Capitol. I want the orange plague to hear them.

[townie]

61. Nice crowd. Bravo !

Cool pics

[Sparkly]

62. I'm happy to see this!!

I was there in 2017. Maybe I'd transferred my own current malaise to everyone else, thinking few would be there today. It's so heartening to know that the energy is still out there!!

[barbtries]

64. that makes me happy,

thank you for sharing.
I was there in 2017 and actually hoped this march would be even bigger, but clearly it was not. I had plans to be marching in LA with some of the same people (my son and granddaughter) who were with me then, but then LA burned up and it was canceled there. I rescheduled my trip for a week later and spent the day preparing to get on a plane in about 6 hours, plus I never found anyone to go with me, so I didn't go to Raleigh today.

I was asked on a substack what I thought we should do to be The Opposition to this incoming horror show, and I said, "I'm old school. I think we should take to the streets and stay on the streets."

and I do.

[Charmin One]

66. Did the media cover this?

Or the revolution won’t be televised?

[Evolve Dammit]

73. Not that I could see? Maybe C-Span?

[ReRe]

67. There's nothing like a march

People. All over America. Getting off their couches and coming to Washington D.C. in the winter to protest their many grievances. If I was able, would have been right there with them. Last time I was there was Jan 18, 2003 protesting the commencement of GW's war against Iraq. I encourage everyone, if you have never marched in the streets of D.C., or anywhere, now is the time. What with asshole in the W.H. There has never been a time more serious than now to get in the fucking streets all over this country like they did yesterday.
I salute all of you who march!

[LetMyPeopleVote]

71. The crowds at these marches/protests make me smile

72. I'm impressed.

That should send a chilling message to the people in power. So to speak.

[mcar]

74. WaPo barely reported on it

Way down the page (screen), mixed in with other local news.

They have become pathetic.

[twodogsbarking]

76. Stay well folks and thanks.

I feel like Rod Serling should be waiting in the wings.

77. Over 700 Protests Are Reportedly Planned Nationwide for Trump's Inauguration Day

There will be 700+ protests tomorrow

Link to tweet

https://truthout.org/articles/over-700-protests-are-reportedly-planned-nationwide-for-trumps-inauguration-day/

As the nation braces for the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump, grassroots organizations across the country are mobilizing in protest. Under the banner of “We Fight Back 2025,” more than 700 protests are reportedly planned nationwide on Jan. 20. Initial conveners include the People’s Forum and the Palestinian Youth Movement, among others.

In a written statement, organizers from People’s Forum said that on Inauguration Day, “people from across New York City will come together in Washington Square Park to demand a future that centers the needs of the people over the interests of the wealthy elite. With voices raised for workers’ rights, immigrant rights, and environmental justice, we will call for an end to the genocide in Gaza, the U.S. war machine, and the rule of billionaires.”.....

The protest is scheduled to take place at the city’s Torch of Friendship at 6:30 p.m. ET and has been in the works for weeks. Medina said the protest aims to deliver a resounding rebuke to the Trump administration’s anticipated agenda.
