After yesterday’s drizzly, sparsely attended inauguration, the feeling in the air in D.C. is now electric because thousands of nasty women and girls—and their nasty friends—are getting ready for the Women’s March on Washington. The positive energy is also leading to something new: Patient crowds on the Metro.

Crowds packed the Metro—DCist’s Rachel Sadon estimated it took “15 mins to get from train to exit. But the crowds are in excellent spirits.” Grace Honeywell, a student at the University of Oregon, summed it up well:

An artist from Philadelphia brought her daughter to the march and they patiently made their way through the station holding a shimmering sign aloft:

There was one exception to the general excitement. Sadon noticed a German shepherd explosive-sniffing dog hiding behind his Metro Transit Police handler, who said all the cheering was scaring the pup.

Of course, the jubilation started yesterday, after seeing photos and videos of women flying into D.C. for the march:

Maugerita Ten Houten flew into Baltimore-Washington International Airport last night from Colorado. “Every plane I was on had marchers,” she said.

Women also flocked to D.C. on buses from New York City, Albany, NJ, Massachusetts, Houston:

Pink “pussyhats” were visible throughout yesterday’s inauguration festivities, as well—even on the dais of Trump’s swearing-in.

This morning, there were crowds to get on the train from Baltimore.

If you can’t make it, you can livestream the march here—the rally is starting now, and the march is at 1:15 p.m.
