of the crowd and it is the biggest protest since inauguration day. No nay-saying here. I'm glad to see it. Only wish it would get more coverage.

I did a walkthrough, here’s a timelapse. This is probably the biggest demo in D.C. so far post-inauguration, brought together by the 50501 Movement which originated on Reddit.

Everyone was chanting “fire Elon!” while I was filming this.
