He's so great. I wish I had been able to drive to Montpelier since I live so close. Shame I already made other plans beforehand.

Woman's March official account Small statement on the future.

Today, millions of people gathered in cities and towns across the world, to stand together for human rights.
This is more than just a single day of action, this is the beginning of a movement to protect, defend and advance human rights, even in the face of adversity.

Shame he is not the President

 

[MotionBlue]

Has a previous movement/protest ever gotten such countrywide and worldwide support?

The Occupy movement was larger.

 

[Sobriquet]

Proud of my coastal NC town!

Today was... heartening.

 

[BrokenFiction]

Has anyone put together a YouTube video with all of the photos and videos of the crowds around the world?

Lawrence just did a really good one on MSNBC. Might be up online in a bit.

Damn. Bernie was the right answer, America.

Damn. Bernie was the right answer, America.

We fucked up. I fucked up. It hurts

Shame he is not the President

I mean at this point it's a shame pretty much anybody is not President but Trump.

I would take Bernie, Hillary, McCain, Romney, 3rd term Obama, Rubio, Carson, Bush 1 and 2, Pence. If a death eater had some political experience I might even consider them by the end of his 4 year term.

 

[Ourobolus]

WOW Aerial view of 120,000 people marching in Seattle today!!

There was a pretty large crowd. Took us fucking forever to get out of Judkins Park though, lol

Let's not lose our heads, now.

From yesterday but still relevant

So many great pics in this thread. Right-click+saving on a lot of them.

I'd take the Death Eater over Rubio too. At least the Death Eater would do something.

 

[CrocMother]

Was there any word from Hilary Clinton today?

 

[lawnchair]

Anyone see counter-protesters? I was a route guide, so I had to pay attention to other things, but I didn't notice any counter protesting.

los angeles, nope.

 

[Neoweee]

Was there any word from Hilary Clinton today?

Yes. Multiple statements of support via Twitter, etc.

 

[Kevinroc]

Was there any word from Hilary Clinton today?

I found a couple of tweets. Don't know if she still has a staff doing this.

Thanks for standing, speaking & marching for our values @womensmarch. Important as ever. I truly believe we're always Stronger Together.

'Hope Not Fear'
Indeed.
And what a beautiful piece by Louisa Cannell.

I stand w/ Nora Harren, a 17-year from Boise, ID, & every person marching for our values today. Onward! ✊✊��✊��✨ #WomensMarch

(This one comes with an article about a very talented young woman that is mentioned in the tweet.)

 

[CrocMother]

thanks, good to see. hope she stays involved like Obama has said he will

Not sure if it's been posted yet, but here's a summary of the rally in Toronto.

Not going to lie, I probably wouldn't march in that weather, and I'm from Chicago lol.

 

[Yabberwocky]

Mashable's aerial photo and video round-up is my favorite thus far, and the examples they've chosen do a fantastic job of showing the sheer scale of the number of people marching. The size of the crowds are just incredible. I was having trouble finding a site linking to a lot of aerial shots at once, so it's really useful. 'Hey Trump, check out these YUGE Women's March crowds across America.'

 

[MMarston]

Ehhh I hear that didn't work out too well for Egypt...

I mean, I didn't mean an exact replication of it

 

[JP_]

There were 3-4 dudebros in Dallas that looked like they'd just stumbled out of a bar in uptown. They just seemed to stand there and were mostly ignored. Some TV cameras seemed to give them attention though.

 

[Garlador]

For Trump...

Proud of everyone today.

 

[mechashiva]

I just wish this was the strength and enthusiasm before the election.

Hahha I saw those same few guys too. I think those were the only obvious "counter-protesters" I saw.

Lots of people honking in support as they drove by, though.

 

[victreeb3l]

Look at this good boy

Didn't see any pro-Trump people anywhere today. I'm not surprised though. I live in a very left leaning area.

 

[Garlador]

I think Trump winning the election was the "Spider-man realizes he could've stopped Uncle Ben's Killer" moment for millions of people.

Sure, he lost the popular vote by millions, but it should never have been in contention to begin with. It shouldn't have been close. We as a society should have - in one voice - regardless of party politics - condemned everything that man stood for and stood in solidarity with every woman, minority, and victim of his xenophobic, racist, misogynist rhetoric.

We failed, but I'm pleased to see it's lit a fire under millions of asses who thought "this is someone else's fight" two months ago.

No. It's our fight. Yours. Mine. And we've got a lot of fighting to do.

 

[CrocMother]

That guy is 25% pro-trump, 75% troll I bet.

 

[Codeblue]

Protests aren't always aimed at achieving a resolution or agreement. Often times they are geared to showing that, "We are here, We are Americans, and We do not support you."

It's meant to show that your vote was not in vain, to show that there is a nation of people who will stand by and support you.

Well put. Don't feel near as alone as I did. The vote numbers are one thing, but to see 12,000 people in OKC warmed my heart. Proud of everyone.

 

[offtopic]

Think I need this t-shirt to wear to work as I'm not sure I could get in too much trouble for it. I'm a teacher btw.

Mark Hamaill's tweet making me tear up.

Gone, but lives on as an icon.

The double meaning of that beaver is inspired.

 

[Fall Into The GAF]

I have never seen such turnout since the protests of the Iraq War, and even I think that's been dwarfed right now.

 

[Gutek]

Glad to see CNN giving airtime to protesters throughout the day.

 

[Ultryx]

Yep. I had a feeling if we did encounter these people it would be pure trolling for reactions.

 

[BrokenFiction]

Glad to see CNN giving airtime to protesters throughout the day.

And yet they had ONE woman on their panel about a Women's March:

I like this angle of the Bernie Sander speech where you can see the crowd:

Also, dark colored suits GALORE.

They had about a dozen different panels throughout the day. This one is not representative.

 

[Ourobolus]

In Seattle we had a couple counter protestors. One guy with a sandwich sign that complained that we were just all a bunch of whiners, but at least he was quiet (at least when we passed him)

We also had a couple groups of those Bible-thumpers with the signs condemning us all to hell.

Other than that though I didn't see much!

 

[GK86]

h/t: https://twitter.com/alexia/status/823004763835011073

They talked, hosted and showed lots of women throughout the day. From the CEO of Planned Parenthood to actresses to citizens at the March.

I think the two other programs before his had more women.

and man, just noticed that all the programs have an insane amount of pundits on. WTF is CNN doing?

I have never seen such turnout since the protests of the Iraq War, and even I think that's been dwarfed right now.

I would argue that Trump is a far greater threat for destabilizing the entire world than Dubya's phantom WMDs that didn't actually exist.
Especially now that he holds his entire country hostage and his word is bullshit with the international community on Day 1.

 

[Nelo Ice]

Was at the Oakland march today and for the first time in months I have legit hope. Looking through these pictures I was actually tearing up. People do care and while I wish we showed up in November, I can finally see a path to redemption.

Thanks. I saw this one, and it wasn't a pretty sight. Glad to hear it wasn't like this all day.
