I had no idea that so many Americans would take to the streets in the middle of winter

[malaise]

for such important matters. It is cold.

Congrats all

[bigtree]

[bdamomma]

3. fighting for our country

in times of right or wrong.

and the filthy pigs who corrupted it foreign and domestic tRump, Bannon, Conway, Spicer, Priebus and Putin.

[malaise]

4. You left out the ReTHUGs

who cheered them on

[C Moon]

14. Yep.

[WheelWalker]

5. Been thinking the same thing.

My transcripts indicate campus protests in the late 60's - early 70's were generally fall and spring term affairs.

[malaise]

7. I don't recall anything like this in my lifetime

America is way bigger than these morons - and the vast majority are decent folks

[WheelWalker]

11. I agree. This is the Main Event.

[HipChick]

6. Good Point..

[Beartracks]

15. Love the eagle n pussy hat image in your sig.

[dhill926]

8. it's really encouraging...

and just wait until summer...

[malaise]

10. or mid-terms?

[ecstatic]

9. I hope this continues in response to any group being trampled on

I think it will. Trump is disgusting!

[FailureToCommunicate]

12. Not so cold at Boston's protest today...mid 30s. Besides, we're warmed by our

righteous indignation...and shouting!

[malaise]

13. Bravo

[mcar]

36. Thank you!

[Tatiana]

16. Something's in the air...

My faith in the American people has truly been renewed.

[markpkessinger]

17. I so agree!

If anything has given me hope over the last 48 hours, it is this!

[malaise]

21. It is truly amazing

People are waking up

[markpkessinger]

27. One hopes that in the future, these folks will understand that dangerous rhetoric like Trump's . . .

. . . must ALWAYS be taken seriously!

[Fast Walker 52]

18. it's freaking amazing and awesome!!!!

[malaise]

19. And the crowds are growing

Too good

[Initech]

20. Yes this is very amazing to see!

We outnumber Trump, Pence, and Bannon. We can fight fascism!

[malaise]

22. CNN talking about this now - they are amazed

Guest says he's never seen anything like this

[keepthemhonestO]

23. Yep they

even had one today in my dinky hometown upstate NY. Historic amount of protests since this nimrod was selected.

[malaise]

25. Nice

Welcome to DU

[keepthemhonestO]

40. Thanks Malaise

I used to be here a long time ago, got locked out of DU because I no longer had access to a work email. So I was just ghosting here for years since. I was under Keepthemhonest.

[Fritz Walter]

24. I want to believe that, smiling down on us are...

Joshua bar Joseph
Susan B. Anthony
Mohandas K Gandhi
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Nelson Mandela

...and so many others who showed us how to make injustice visible, and devoted -- or sacrificed -- their lives to change the world.

May we continue to honor their legacy. Now, more than ever!

[paleotn]

26. We Americans are a curious sort.

We may seem to many outsiders as overfed, over entertained and lazy, but they think that at their peril. Once pissed off, we move like a landslide, barely perceptible at first, but with indescribable power once we start moving.

[rzemanfl]

28. Drumpf is in for a long hot summer, if he lasts that long. n/t

[yuiyoshida]

29. I am protesting in my own way on TWITTER...

I would tweet "fuck you" to Donald Trump, but I am afraid if I did, the Secret Service or gestapo might show up on my door step!

彼らは行くことができ、お互いに性交する！

[guillaumeb]

38. Or Trump might misinterpret the statement.

Just saying.

[yuiyoshida]

39. Who knows what goes on his

diseased brain?

[pangaia]

30. We're used to it.. This ain't Kingston or Montego Bay..

Cheers Malaise,



PS---I sat next to a woman from Kingston a couple days ago while I was flying home from St Petersburg and Moscow, through JFK. It was her first trip North--Upstate NY... She was afraid it might snow...I reassured her all would be fine...

[malaise]

31. True but you don't usually have big protests in winter

I arrived in Binghamton one Thanksgiving only for the first snow of the season to greet me. They laughed at me all weekend

[pangaia]

37. Actually, it is not that cold these days... higher than often the case..

25-45 F.. That's bearable for a while...

[NastyRiffraff]

32. There are wonderful people in this country

I love it that their standing up for their neighbors, and for people they don't even know.

Dump has woken a sleeping tiger and it will destroy him.

[malaise]

33. That's my hope

[mcar]

34. It is inspiring

Just like last week, I saw people of all ages coming out to protest.

[guillaumeb]

35. It is not so cold in Chicago.

It was 32 yesterday.
