Today we attended our first protest rally, of what will no doubt be regular and frequent ones. The current administration is not slowing down when it comes to provocation.
We ran into various people we knew: a SAR teammate, a new friend from our little Indivisible group, some contra dancers and singers, a geocaching friend and her dog Clara. Today's theme was the First Amendment. A few people driving by yelled something negative (one even said Hillary should be thrown in jail—um, seriously?), but mostly we got lots of friendly honks and thumbs up.
I am heartened by much of what I'm seeing in the media about this new resistance—like an article from the
Nation posted just this afternoon,
"Your Guide to the Sprawling New Anti-Trump Resistance Movement." We are
everywhere. And we are speaking out. They can not empty their voicemail boxes and so prevent constituents from getting through; they can say they don't hear us; they can pretend they are supported by "the majority"—but they'll be
lying liars. And we'll keep letting them know that.
