This is some seriously impressive drone footage of the hīkoi: youtube.com/watch?v=LRJ_5dZZNI

My former colleague used it to estimate 40,000 people visible in the footage (excluding anyone already at Parliament House). This is a revision down from his previous estimate, but gels well with the estimates being reported in the media: bsky.app/profile/mathematiguy.

Remember when #CorporateMedia pushed the narrative that #DonaldTrump was going to be acquitted @ his #NY #HushMoney trial or @ worst a hung jury & #Trump’s legal team was supremely confident jurors were on his side, & they told us #Cohen’s testimony went bad when he was great, & then they barely covered it for more than a day when was convicted of #34Felonies & instead reported on his fake #CrowdSize numbers?

Just like #KamalaHarris very effectively got under the orange skin of #DonaldTrump by needling him for #CrowdSize and people walking out of boring #TrumpRallies , #TimWalz needs to go on the offense quickly and effectively.

#Walz should pointedly and repeatedly attack #Thiel and his backing of #Project2025. 🎯 #USpol #VPdebate #2024election

#Trump campaign is incredulous that…
>> #KamalaHarris delivers the same exact line in a speech … in Detroit and again in Pittsburgh a few hours later

It's called reinforcement, and what she repeats to the different audiences is true…

…as opposed to Trump, who is still repeating the exact same #BigLie denying losing to #Biden 4 years later, and the exact same lie about #crowdSize 8 years later 🙄
