   Does anybody have a crowd size estimate for the Minnesota state capitol #HandsOff protest yet?

   The traffic getting there was bonkers: we tried to ride the rail, but train after train kept going by full already. Crowd seemed in the same general universe as the Women’s March in 2017, but it was very hard to compare because we couldn’t really see how far it extended from where we were…. I’d love to hear a count!

     All I can find so far is “well in excess of 10,000 people,” which was clearly true.

     This guess of 25-30k from @carstenfranke sounds highly plausible to me, squares with my impression from being there.
