Chicago hosted a Woman’s “March To The Polls” on Saturday featuring thousands of marchers and an appearance of the Trump “baby blimp.” The blimp depicts President Donald Trump in a diaper in 20-foot-tall inflatable form. Children were also provided with smaller balloons depicting the same image, according to The Hill.

The “baby blimp” concept was first seen in the UK ahead of Trump’s 2018 London visit. The London version showed Trump holding a cell phone while wearing a diaper.

The Chicago march aimed to register new voters and encourage participants and bystanders to vote for women’s equality in the November 6 midterm elections.

Speaker Adrienne Lever, a left-leaning grassroots activist, sees this march as the start of a movement. “This march, this is just the beginning,” she said according to the Chicago Tribune. “Activism doesn’t end here.”

4. I saw one at a Stop Kavanaugh rally

In Aug. and the woman told me that she was going to use hers again but hoped it would fly higher. I think it got about 12 feet up then hovered at that level.

5. The "big red thing" was a gift from Putin to the people of Chicago. It holds closed circuit cameras

that feed to St. Petersburg and the White House. That's why it's red. Initials, C.C.C.P. are on the bottom.

8. It's a sculpture by Alexander Calder, called "Flamingo"
