THANK YOU - What a difference a day makes. Today HOPE

I showed my daughter the images on CNN and we talked about what these massive marches are about.

CNN is still talking about Snowflake and nominees but the split screen images are just amazing.
Is citing "in numbers too big to ignore" too corny?




We are stuck at home with some health issues (nothing major) and school projects.

Even Fox News had to admit (I read) that DC today dwarfs yesterday.

The technological advantages that we didn't have on October 26, 2002 help a lot too.

And you are the one who is giving her a foundation of self-esteem and sell-respect as a female in this society.

I applaud you!

Explain the OBVIOUS difference in the crowd size of today's Women's March and his pitiful turnout for his corona....inauguration?? tRump has got to be eaten up with envy and anger over this clear slap. Oh, to get a statement on the record from him.

MSNBC just compared this March (and other rallies around the world) to the protests against the Vietnam Nam War and we know how that worked out. tRump may have met his match. He got a bunch of Nasty Women riled up and he shoulda known better.

not being passive gives you hope too. Those people I follow on twitter that are just regular women that I don't know personally give me hope. Protesting yesterday gave me hope too. Just to be around the people you know believe in basic decency. More than anything else Trump is indecent and inhuman.
