"Despite freezing temperatures, several hundred people gathered outside of the Maine State House on Wednesday to protest the Trump administration's chaotic, first two weeks in office.

"The event was part of a national day of protest in state capitals. But #Maine's rally also highlighted the growing frustrations among some #Democrats and #progressives about what they say is a weak response from #DemocraticLeaders.

"This movement is for the people and by the people. We do not need a party," said #NicholasJackson [my hero!] of Hallowell, who obtained a permit for the event after the local Democratic committee canceled a rally over fears of 'infiltrators.'"

Many people still showed up amid freezing temperatures despite the local Democratic committee trying to cancel the rally over fear that "bad actors" would infiltrate the event to cause problems.
