It was a Pussy Riot in Olympia Washington (pic heavy)

It was a dark day in America. An orange combover was rising in the East...

And yet the sun came out in the West. It started with the Grannies...

And then the disabled...

And those who love Liberty...

But mostly those who just hate perverts, tyrants and criminals...

They just kept coming like pink waves on a troubled sea...

Daughters, sisters, aunts, mothers, grandmothers, lovers, friends -- all the women of the world. And they brought their sons, brothers, lovers, uncles, fathers, grandfathers who walked beside them...UNITED.

For the children...

We know how to make shiny pink stuff with day-glo sharpies.

I felt as if I was released from the pink ghetto today. We owned the color rather than letting it be a symbol of oppression.
