I really wanted to be in Boston today but woke up under the weather and the train only going as far as Swampscott with no coverage for my dog so had to make the game day decision to head over to Salem. I arrived just before noon and there were already hundreds on both sides at the designated meetup location at 93 Washington Street. Soon after we all marched up Washington St stopping traffic and gathered again in the square in front of the Salem Main Post Office. It was a great crowd except for one troublemaker who tried to pick fights with peaceful protesters. The only angry, hateful soul in the hundreds (thousands?) who rallied. He’s not hard to spot here. I then did a few drive bys on my way back home to add to the horn honking and energy. This is what democracy looks like (say it again and louder for those in the back!)

Note: I was very conscious making sure people were okay with being photographed and had permission to share the photo of the little girl holding up the “No Kings” sign too.
