Millions of women gathered in Washington and cities around the country and the world Saturday to mount a roaring rejoinder to the inauguration of President Donald Trump. What started as a Facebook post by a Hawaii retiree became a historic international rebuke of new president that packed cities large and small — from London to Los Angeles, Paris to Park City, Utah, Miami to Melbourne, Australia.

In Chicago, the demonstration was overwhelmed by its own size, forcing officials to curtail its planned march when the crowd threatened to swamp the planned route.

The Washington organizers, who originally sought a permit for a gathering of 200,000, said Saturday that as many as a half million people participated.

Similar mass gatherings took place around the country, with march organizers listing more than 670 planned events nationwide and in another 70 cities around the world, including Tel Aviv, Barcelona, Mexico City, Berlin and Yellowknife in Canada’s Northwest Territories .

2. The new Press Secretary did his first briefing as the rampage

That way, he could do it with more than 140 characters.

3. You want to resist him?

Work the next 2 years in efforts to get every GOP member possible voted out of Congress. Without a congressional majority the president will be very limited in what can be done (yes, he can still do some damage). Add to that should he be removed from office that will play just as well at limiting Pence, who in my opinion is more dangerous than Trump.

4. Here is the D.C. Womens March panoramic aerial video view - has to be 2 million

Metro reported 600,000 metro rides for WMW vs. 197,000 for Trump inauguration. 1000 more buses needed than for Trump inauguration.

Here is video showing, what it felt like on the ground, more than 2 million people. Peaceful, non violent, all hand made signs, funny and clever, kindness everywhere. We the people:
