I went in Maryland. Huge turnout. It was fun.

Is that a prop or a public art installation?
I am impressed either way.

No Kings protests tomorrow, October 18th. Will try to go to the one in my town. There were a couple of thousand people in April and maybe 6K in June. Predictions are for a big turnout tomorrow.

Anybody else?

[CHAS]

Hopefully the crowds tomorrow will be huge. . Signed up for the local one.

Very large crowd at our No Kings rally. I live about a mile from where it was held, and the street parking was full to within four blocks of my house. There are two schools within a few blocks of the park where the rally happened; their parking lots were completely filled.

Great sign!

Kudos to all of you who protested.

This is all unbelievably horrible.

I think I can fairly say the county is at its lowest point in my lifetime.

Local coverage of rallies in suburban Chicago. I'm in Arlington Heights; there's video of our event from a news helicopter. They get to AH at around the eight minute mark of the video.

Mount Prospect is the town next door to AH. On the ground video there.

Oh, no. Duplicated again. Don't know if I'll get the hang of this platform, however welcome it is.

Oh, no. Duplicated again. Don't know if I'll get the hang of this platform, however welcome it is. (Maybe I'm pressing "submit" too often. I do it because it seemed otherwise the post remained open to editing.) Let's see what happens now.

We had estimated 600 on Staten Island. Some frogs, chickens, eagles, too. It was great. As everywhere else, just a friendly, happy atmosphere. Went to a nearby pizza restaurant afterward, one of the best in all of NYC.

Needed to get to Tucson. Surgery to the other eye coming up. There was a small crowd in Leadville, Co. when I went through. There was a large crowd in Trump voting Alamosa when I went through around noon. I honked and waved.

[Daniel]

No worries, Amanda! There are so many features of this platform that I haven't learned how to use. I'm trying but each one takes time and attention to gain a working knowledge. I'm moving at a slow pace.

[Daniel]

I'm pretty sure there must have been protests in this metro area but I didn't look it up and didn't hear of anything. I don't think there was one near me or I probably would have at least heard about it.

Little Williamsburg had the second largest turnout in Virginia ...
