Thanks for posting the photos. I have no photos but I do hope that local TV stations on their news tonight at 10 or 11 will SHOW the huge crowds that were out today -- from the crowds in the small towns to the crowds in the big cities. I've been watching the event in Philadelphia today where the crowd protesting was huge PLUS the city did a real event honoring the formation of the Army in the city 250 years ago today. There was a nice parade -- no tanks or dictators -- just bands and veterans and soldiers plus people in Colonial dress.

New York had a huge protest march and on across the country. I even saw photos of 100 Americans doing a protest in Berlin in front of the American embassy.

People everywhere need to see today's events and the national news will most likely just focus on the Trump Birthday Parade in DC.

Proud of all of the people who protested today. I know two of my friends were out -- one in MD and one in Washington state.

These are awesome! Thank you so much for sharing. My husband and I were in Hagerstown, MD. Their little city was packed with protesters!

There was even a substantial turn out in Homer, Alaska. We were driving up from Seward, so we missed the protest, but we did see a young moose.

Send us a photo of the moose!

JK. That sounds like a lovely drive.

I'm pretty sure moose are inherently anti-Trump. They're not big on family separation.

Columbia Missouri had a heck of a turnout, too. Apparently, some of the folks from Jeff heard it was cancelled and came up to CoMo, instead.

I've got some 50 or 60 that I need to go through and sanitize, but I'd love to send one on to be added to your collection.

OMG, I love the sign: Obama, Lama, Ding-Dong! Clever, clever...I think the protests were a huge success, judging from the news this AM. My son was in New Haven, doing our thing. Wonder how the parade went?

Obviously I didn't get there-- Sheeyun was golfing with two retired premier league footballers, and then we went to Aldburgh for a stupendous funny opera in a medieval church. I haven't seen photos from Edinburgh as yet. But from London: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/16ef8kE41z/
