hearing 75k in chgo yesterday. here's the thing, tho- [View all]

that was just downtown chgo. (i suspect that’s low.) and that’s after many impromptu crowds in the past week as ice has shown up here. but there were also protests in at least a dozen suburbs, some of them pretty red. i dont recall that happening b4.

there were 3,000 in evanston. there were a couple hundred seniors on the northside, outside a senior living bldg. the burbs that had big turnout have been trending blue since sick fuck 1.0. they showed up. but even those still red places had good crowds.

whatever numbers they’re bandying about, trust that it’s low.
