sj , you'll have to tell her about this.
BUT you get to tell her about the 600 rallies the day after the inauguration. You'll tell that on Saturday, Jan 21, 2017 on EVERY Continent people stood up and made their voices heard. You'll tell her about Hil and JZ and David and msbelle and every other Buffista and Buffista spouse or kids that marched.
You'll show her pictures and videos. You'll explain about the Disablity March
I hope you will tell.. although it was hard and scary that we did not lose hope. That people tried to derail the American Experience and it didn't happen.
MSNBC is all over covering the March in DC and reports of marches everywhere. It's lifting my glum cynical mood a lot.
Twitter is on fire over the unexpected large turnout.
Madonna's droppin' the f-bombs on C-SPAN. Their coverage has been pretty good.
The Nashville march was rockin'. I don't know the number but it sure felt like a good turnout. Multiple thousands. We didn't have a sign, but Rose was all about the chanting. And on the way back we heard about the huge turnout in DC. So I'm feeling proud and energized about keeping up a strong resistance.
The New York Times article with the marches from around the world had me weeping. But happy weeping, unlike yesterday. I finally feel hopeful. Because just look at us.
my favorite might be the sign that Glamcookie's son is carrying
Also my favorite! My kid got tired of carrying their signs after about 20 minutes, so we gave them to a group of women who didn't have any. They were so happy to have signs!
I think Kristin did they are estimated g 500,000 or 750,000 in LA
the march I went to, in a smaller city (123,000) had maybe 1000 people. Good diversity and good amount of men. There was a 5 person counter protest which seemed to be anti-gay, not necessarily pro-Trump. The counter protest was odd and pathetic.
Home now.
Yes. LAPD says 500,000, but NBC La is estimating 750,000. And I can believe it! It wasn't so much a march as a shuffle! It was utterly amazing, though. I'm on cloud 9 and filled with fierce determination, pride in my city, and hope.
