Well, the press woke up here in Nebraska. Sheriff Clark is full of it. There were no arrests in Nebraska.

Three protests in Nebraska, Omaha, Lincoln, Loup City (population 1,029). Loup City’s newspaper is not on the Internet (the Sherman County Times, like most newspapers in Nebraska). There is a Facebook page for the march. I would estimate between 100 and 150 in their photos, in a red state town of a thousand.

Downtown Omaha echoed with loud chants of “Love trumps hate!” on Saturday as thousands of marchers filled the streets in one of the biggest protest rallies in the city’s recent memory.

Police estimated between 12,000 and 14,000 women, men and children participated in the Omaha women’s march — a crowd size that far exceeded organizers’ expectations of 2,000 to 4,000 participants.

“I’ve been in traffic seven years and this is easily — without a doubt — the biggest rally we’ve ever worked,” said Sgt. Jerry Martinez of the Omaha Police Department. “It was peaceful. No problem.”

Organizers were beyond thrilled.

Himes, a Lincoln native, said just over 2,000 marchers met outside the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Student Union on Saturday afternoon armed with signs, stickers and loud voices.

Across the country, over 670 affiliate marches popped up in collaboration with the Women’s March on Washington. It is estimated that over 4.5 million people attended the marches, according to the Women’s March on Washington’s official website. The event was created to promote unity and equal rights for all regardless of gender, race or religion in the wake of President Donald Trump’s election.

Three marches happened in the state, taking place in Omaha, Lincoln and Loup City.
