Just arrived downtown. It's packed. Already incomparable to last weekend. Not just a single rally or march but many, in different parts of downtown (in this video, two rallies meet)
I'll be documenting the protest and likely police violence in this thread 👇

We went to the No Kings protest in the small town of Orange, VA today. This is a rural, conservative place, but the crowd was much bigger than I expected and the people driving by were mostly supportive. We got several semis to honk and wave! I got to meet a bunch of nice people and see some friends.
One counter-protesting truck kept driving by, and a couple of guys walked up and tried to start an argument, but everybody kept their cool there were no problems.

@blogdiva Hey, wow, I did several round of software contracting work for a company located right off that intersection (in the office building south of what was then the little Starbucks).
It is absolutely wild to think of that intersection lined with protestors.
Just suburban stroads, strip malls, and so-quiet-it’s-creepy-during-the-day residential neighborhoods. Not a place you’d picture as a hotbed of activism. And yet.
