53. Young people in Vermont

Mon Apr 7, 2025, 11:11 AM

Apr 7

We had several hundred enthusiastic demonstrators in Burlington, including lots of younger people. It was a great show of solidarity and fighting back. There were quite a few other protests in Vermont as well -- we drove by a couple hundred people in Winooski, Vermont on the way to Burlington. There were lots of good signs -- I think my favorite was "Elon Musk can oligarkle my balls!"
