So our march wasn't a glamorous affair; we didn't have celebrities giving rousing speeches and it rained damn near the entire time, but this is how we do it up in Rip City.





I've been downtown for half marathons and been lined up in the streets with masses of people but this was a crushingly huge crowd.  People lined the whole of Waterfront Park, from the railing along the river all the way across Naito Parkway and spilling down the side streets.  Many bridges were closed and filled with people overlooking Naito Pkwy.  Crowds of people milling around the streets with signs, many took up the stairways of the parking garages overlooking the march and held up their signs and chanted from above.

The local news reports that there was possibly 100,000 people marching in downtown Portland today, one of the largest single gatherings PDX has ever seen.

Do I believe it?

Yes, I do.*





Many hilarious signs.  









A really incredible event to have participated in, especially as a non-activist who doesn't regularly attend rallies, marches or protests of any sort.

I am pleased to report that the entire event remained peaceful.

*initial estimates were around 35k, which personally seems more reasonable, but I would really like Trump to think it was 100k

Hehe.... funny signs indeed...
Reminds me of a few that that I saw on Facebook
(most likely not from Portland)

Love love love those three. I really, really despise comic sans. Never saw Trump use it, but that alone aligns me with the Democrats. 

I grew up with two pussies, Spot and Soleil. Still like watching cat YouTubes (that's a thread in itself!) And I'm an introvert. And a former Vermonter (got my A.A. degree in that state   )

Considering the attitude towards them, previously displayed by the new president and some of his buddies now in high places, I think you need to append "while they can".

Quote:White House sources say Trump was ‘visibly enraged’ at the size of the Women’s March:

Quote:White House sources told the Post that Trump’s celebratory mood turned to “flashes of anger” less than 24 hours after he took office.
“Trump turned on the television to see a jarring juxtaposition — massive demonstrations around the globe protesting his day-old presidency and footage of the sparser crowd at his inauguration, with large patches of white empty space on the Mall,” the paper reported. “As his press secretary, Sean Spicer, was still unpacking boxes in his spacious new West Wing office, Trump grew increasingly and visibly enraged.”
Ignoring the advice of his advisers, Trump demanded Spicer deliver his now-infamous statement to the White House press corps, falsely insisting that no inauguration in history had been witnessed by more people.

Oh the problems that men with tiny dicks suffer through.
