The American people have rejected Donald Trump's rejection of science and global warming. And they have done it in overwhelming numbers.


Millions of people are marching today for science. Police estimate 40,000 people marched in Chicago, an absolutely breathtaking sight:

The numbers marching in New York City are estimated by the NYPD to be 20,000. There were 20,000 more marching through Philadelphia today. Another 10,000 gathered in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Reuters reports at least 15,000 gathered on the Mall in Washington, D.C., and that doesn’t count the numbers who marched. Watch courtesy of BuzzFeed’s Azeen Ghorayshi:
