       Lots more people getting on at the next (bigger) station: really young people, old people, people wearing Hong Kong shirts. ✊🏽#NoKings #Pittsburgh

       Couple more stops later and this train going downtown to the peaceful protest is quite full - standing room only but not much left of that either. #NoKings #Pittsburgh

       Downtown - City County building area is packed! Much bigger turnout than the April 5 HandsOff protests. A lot more younger people too - and some with their little kids. ✊🏽Not great sound at the ¾ way out from the speakers  but some very #Pittsburgh chants spread and take hold with entire crowd: Trump. is a. JAGOFF! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽(trumpets and trombones too)#NoKings

       Crowd estimate is 10K for the downtown #Pittsburgh #NoKings Protest (see 👆🏽). Nice!There are still two others later today - near Mellon Park and one in the South Hills, Mt Lebo area. There's also the Vigil at my work building this evening. Off to that in a bit#StandUpForSciencehttps://linktr.ee/pgh_for_science

       So many people coming forward to speak up for #Science Scientists, grant administrators, long retired professors from Pitt Med school, undergraduates and grad students from #Pitt and #CarnegieMellonNon scientists too They kept coming up! So awesome. One undergrad (here for summer research) mentioned how hopeful this gathering and speakers made her.(Won't post their pics/faces here - but it was super encouraging)#StandUpForScience #Pittsburgh
