1. My train to the inauguration;
2. My train to the Women's March — or it was supposed to be, but it was too full for me to get on.

I don't know how to make tweets pictures that you can view. Well, not easily. I can do it, but it takes forever.

2. It's probably even more. They always go conservative with their esitmates on progressive crowds

3. Cancelled because the crowd was too large ???

I have never heard of that happening before.

6. It's not exactly cancelled. Just the part marching through downtown.

Because of safety concerns. They didn't expect so many people.

There are still people arriving from the 'burbs via CTA/train.

It's MASSIVE.

4. I have been looking at some aerial photos of the DC march.

There seem to be at least as many people there as there were at President Obama's first inaugural.

current crowd estimate is 250k, and downtown is shut down.
