Libby received a lot of support online. She's outpaced the governor in social media followers. And Maine's House Speaker, who led the censure effort, he's since completely deleted his ex-account, presumably due to backlash.

Yes, it's estimated that about 500 people showed up to that rally, which was dubbed the March Against Mills. Residents expressed a lot of support for Libby. They held up signs about protecting female sports, and they listened to speeches from numerous female athletes, Republican state lawmaker Katrina Smith, and others. One of those speakers was high school student Julia Dietrich.

What's particularly notable about the rally was how organically it happened. It appears the rally popped up after three residents who were angry with Mills' refusal to back down on these transgender policies, they created a Facebook event for a protest.
