I am SO impressed by how today's #NoKings demonstration in #MadisonWI was organized. There was puppetry, fun things for kids of all ages, and brief big-tent speeches about the importance of standing up to authoritarianism.
I heard someone on west bound #BRT A bus saying this is like a west side reunion on this bus. It feels like half of my neighbors are on this bus. 🥰

Hands Off! rally at the WI capitol. I'm a horrible estimator of crowd size, but there were a helluva lot of people there. In the last photo, you can see a sea of people from the capitol steps all the way down State St. to the UW library mall.

Following up yesterday's post, I figured the #MadisonWI 3D data viz was worth a short blog post with code. #rayshader is very powerful, but also has a steep initial learning curve. I learned a lot from @tylermorganwall's and other people's documentation and blog posts, and so I figured I should contribute back myself. haraldkliems.netlify.app/posts
