The newspapers said there were about a thousand people in attendance. Everyone was well-behaved and the cops were friendly. Kind of a snore, actually. Some of the signs were pretty clever, though; I wish I had focused more on them. I also wish I had brought a sign of my own, which would have read:
SHOW US YOUR TAX RETURNS!
"Hands too small! Can’t build a wall!"
"No hate, no fear! Immigrants are welcome here!"
"Show me what democracy looks like! This is what democracy looks like!"
I got down to the rally a little after noon, stayed for about an hour, and then ducked into the Billy Goat Tavern on Lower Michigan for a double cheeseburger. It was a beautiful day!
