It's Saturday breh.
Im all for this much respect to the ladies and gentlemen in the streets
Unfortunately ive given up on peaceful protests being meanful...they will continue to only give a little extra morsel to satisfy the masses...
Women, minorities, the proletariat need to start slitting throats if a real change is to come
Im not advocating violence (in a way i am) but society always devolves into revolution after it passes a certain point anyway...

Hopefully there's an infrastructure in place to keep these people civically engaged through the next 2 years because I doubt the protests keep up like they do in other countries. A real statement can't be made until the midterm elections but I guarantee you these images got the Republicans shook today. Don't underestimate their ability to lean back, they already did on the plans to gut the ethics committee and let's remember not all of them are from staunch red districts.
Women being heard, and that's great. That's the first step. Make people sweat a little, but I want to know what they're going to do next. It is not enough.
- A lot of men in power don't respect women, so it's not like they are going to change their mind. You can just tell Trump's administration is filled with men who give 0 fukks about women. How do you find a way to reach them?
- Will they continue to protest at this rate? If they do, no one could reckon with them. They'd put pressure on society. If no more protests, America goes on with little change. Mostly symbolic (though, that's a good start of something).
- Women historically have had less actual power - political and financial. It's harder to have an effect on society when you don't have as much. Will they attempt to use this to leverage for more power? They should.
- A lot of this kind of protesting is contained in cities, which is where the current divide exists - cities versus rural. Are they going to find inroads into the rural culture or find a way to leverage the power that cities have on the current ruling class?
I'm interested to see if this destroys the centrist moderate domination of the Dem Party. If they keep this up it might either push Dems to the left of they'll lose their seats to a more left leaning candidate.

My sister aunt and cousins all turned out
My little cousin led a walkout at her high school yesterday

There was nothing inherently leftist about the marches. Reproductive rights has been a mainstream, centrist Democratic position for a while now. Cory Booker and Chuck Schumer were out there.

Went to the one in D.C. And it was great.
Also went to an NAACP gathering at the AME Metropolitan. Jidenna was there and gave a great message.
These next four years will be a blessing as people coming together to work. It's time to learn from the far right. We need to get the candidates in that we want and we need to fight.
This was not a "it should be Hillary" rally at all.
Also, the protestors took over the city. You could not drive anywhere downtown.
