      I saw that sign! A lot of good ones out there. Hope you plan to follow 50501 for next actions.

    this is why it always makes me laugh when right wingers go on about democratic approval in congress. the approval isn’t because people don’t agree with left of centre policies; the approval is because they’re not doing enough to fight the republicans.

    Is that crowd larger than the crowd Trump had at his first inauguration?

    Whoa, that’s amazing. I wonder if there is a compilation of all of the cities’ protests.

    There’s a livestream: https://handsoff2025.com/livestream
