Took 3 hours to walk 10 blocks from the subway to the actual march. Now we'Re moving. Best sign so far: "we need to lose 239 pounds."
"Everything you can do I can do bleeding."
Lots of men, young women, kids. It's sunny and warm.
Awesome. Feels damn good.

Someone near me pointed out Annie Liebovitz watching from her window as we passed. Wonder if she got pictures.

(15,535 posts)I'm delighted to see so many men marching. Looks to me like Trump is the most hated man in America right now. How's that feel to a narcissist?

(63,221 posts)It is so heartening to see. I would be marching in Cambridge, MA except I am home in bed w/ a bad cough and pleurisy.
llmart
(15,535 posts)not pleurisy though. We both know that our hearts are with all these wonderful women and children. I get teary eyed at what I'm seeing. This is another one for the history books for sure!
I was also thinking that you just know that every one of these people will get to the polls and it isn't going to be the GOP that they vote for!

(63,221 posts)I really hope all these people will come out in droves to vote in November. I think they will because we are all so motivated.

Our republican rep, Elise Stefanik did NOT show up.
It was upbeat and hopeful.
Very glad I went.

There were even larger rallies in Oakland, Berkeley, San Jose and Sacramento and Sonoma counties.

(51,580 posts)Only a few places in the country had any rain and it wasn't sub zero. I think the only storm cloud was the one over the W House. He is pissed off he missed his party and had to stay inside and play "president" for the weekend instead of golf.
Now we need to March to the midterms! POWER TO THE POLLS!

(20,638 posts)this morning it's still a headline on tv and radio. The images are amazing from all over the world!
I really believe that doing this once could be dismissed as a novelty, a fluke, a reaction to losing the election.
There's no easy way to write off this year's attendance, especially with #timesup and all the brave women who have come forward with accusations of misconduct (and worse.) Countless women are putting their names up for election, and so far, are doing well.
45 woke a sleeping tiger, and it's watching, and learning, and it's engaged and angry!
