Hands Off Boston

I was at the rally in Boston today, 4/5/2025.. The attendance was massive. It was bigger than the Women's March. There were easily 10,000 people. One local news station estimated 20,000. I would post my video if I knew how to do it.

We marched from the common to City Hall, but I never made it to City Hall. The crowd was massive. The march came to a stop due to too many bodies filling up the plaza and the street. There were helicopter cams, but no reports from them yet.

I heard 100k in Boston on Meidas Touch. I think that estimate is high. 10,000 at the very least. Could easily have been multiples of that. It was massive for sure.

So way back in Chicago days we saw 10 stadiums worth of protestors. Or 500,000. The paper said 5,000 and was out on the street hours BEFORE the march.
