Think how many people took the effort to make a sign, to make their way to a protest, but couldn't be bothered to vote and won't the next time either.
DC March was pretty amazing. People for days!
I got a couple of high fives and pictures taken of my sign.

Portland is crazy. They are saying 100k now. Still seems like a low estimate to me.

Dutch guy here but such a massive, enthousiastic turnout all over the world gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside.
Also, please Elizabeth Warren 2020.
Also, Trumps speech at the CIA getting slaughtered at CNN right now in Wolf Blitzers program.

To be fair, they were made to believe that Hillary had it in the bag by the media. They're partially to blame for the low turnout, I'm sure.

Ahahahahaha
There was an amazing sign an old man made that specifically said to remember to go vote in 2018. He wasn't one of the only people to say things like that too.
I wish all this passion and turnout was there during election day...
... But I'd be lying if I said such a passionate and massive turnout hasn't restored a great deal of confidence and hope I have that, despite setbacks, there are millions of progressive people across the globe that aren't going to just up and disappear and will fight for their liberties.
I'm hoping Trump's election was a wake-up call, and even those that didn't vote or didn't take the risks seriously now realize that they need to stand up and do something about it.

I had one of our regular customers, a older, very cheerful woman, come in yesterday really down in the dumps with Trump's inauguration. Really hope she hears about this and feels better. It's really disheartening seeing things like that.

Why are some of you so quick to disparage the people marching as non voters? It takes considerably less effort to vote than it does to march.

Without being able to spin it as rioting, this is the most they can muster

There was over 100 people at a protest in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories too! My friend was there.

Where can I find some conservative/right wing responses to this? Very interested to see what is being said on the other side of all this.
Pretty sad they can't even look at this with reason. Never seen dumbass people want their govt to take away benefits from them so hard.

Haha this is good
Click any tweet posted in this thread and scroll down to the first or second response. Nazi punks are fuckin' livid.
Christ, I just saw a guy using an image of a male concentration camp prisoner to denounce the photo of the female Japanese internment camp prisoner.
Yeah, it's supposed to, that's one of the problems.
Damn that is sad (and great, since she is marching) to see.
They tried to make fun of it http://video.foxnews.com/v/5291939203001/?#sp=show-clips
Can't help but think she brought that purse just to be bait for theft.

Yeah, assuming they voted. It's really not a good excuse

EVEN Alaska is getting in on this! Amazing.
FYI there has been probably 10 inches of snow in the past 18 hours here in Anchorage (where that picture is from). Roads are a fucking mess, surprised to see as many people out there as there are.

Ditto. Was there for the 2011 Walker protests and was at the protest in Madison today. Protesting doesn't mean shit if you don't get your fucking ass to the voting booth every two years.
I'm not. I don't even have to look and I can tell you- a bunch of intellectually dishonest, hypocritical, hateful garbage.

While the woman is inspiring, I laughed at the Fozzie board behind her. I perfume it says something like "How about a real orange puppet! Vote (Fozzie)"

Republicans didn't start a damn thing. Most mainstream Republicans opposed Trump.

It's not gonna mean much until they show up in the polls like the Tea Party did. It's an encouraging sign tho and hopefully this doesn't let up.
