Thank you for assembling the best minds in the country not lured by the mighty dollar. Continue the work. A lot of sane people depend on your network for real news and thought-provoking opinions!

Speaking of great minds, how about we get President Biden as a regular contributor. I want him to stay in the public eye and this may be a good way!

We all should.... I'm sure you get those emails asking you to sign a petition..I have no idea how they work but what if "we" (meaning someone who knows how) started a petition telling Biden and Harris how much we would like them to be a part of our team!

Great suggestion. Sending and invitation to Dr. JILL would work, too.

That's brilliant. He'll be a John Q. Public with no restrictions. Maybe we can also get Obama and Clinton to subscribe.

Even if it's just a quick 5-10 minute interview, to make it easier for him or whomever..

Yes, we need you guys! I'll be at the People's March tomorrow, and you'll be giving me hope.

The People's March? There has been very little publicity about this march. I think I heard of it several months ago. Another boondoggle by Democrats/Progressives which will do nothing more than show lack of support when only a few thousand people show up. That's worse than doing nothing.

I totally disagree and totally believe everything counts. Even if the few that show at some of these smaller marches that combined, even if those few people reach out to each other and provide support in a united voice, that will be a very good thing.

I talked to my closest friend who lives near DC into going, and she’s taking several people with her so I hope you’ll be surprised ! I’m going to the San Francisco March, haven’t figured out yet what my sign is going to say!

There is much more support than is evidenced here. So many of us are older and can only donate and share the news.

Sarah, same. Have marched, rallied in earlier years. Legs too wobbly now. We can donate, call govt offices & share info.

Same here, and I miss those wonderful occasions, as I know you do. I still get so excited about any round up of our great ladies, though.

There is going to be a big march! There are busses going to take people to whatever march they might want to go to attend. There are posters being made... I only wish the weather was going to be better, but it is winter.

Apply time. Sometimes the best course of action is to do nothing. Let Mr Trump self-destruct all on his own. Do not engage just sit back and smile as it unfolds. If he is truly the moron he presents himself to be he will soon be his own demise.

You might remember the women's March after his first inauguration... close to or slightly more ,(can't recall now but...), than a million WOMEN showed up for that one, & that was just in DC... there were marches across the country in major cities & smaller metros also! Here in Des Moines Iowa, we will have to drive just a couple hours no matter which direction we go... Davenport is east; in the Minneapolis metro to the north, near Omaha to the west & couple near and in the KC area to the south...We have a couple in or near Madison WI too! Go to Women's March website to find one in your area, looked like more than a few hundred dots were on the map across the country! Now, this one was upgraded from just a women's March to include all gender affiliations, races, socioeconomic status religious beliefs etc... ALL AMERICANS regardless of your stripes, so to speak! There is a women's strike called for Tuesday, the 21st, calling on ALL WOMEN to drop out of "life/society" for the day... skip work, no shopping ie food, gas, makeup, Amazon... just do not spend a dime ANYWHERE! DO NOT GO TO WORK, (personally I would have to draw the line on nurses unless there are sufficient numbers of male nurses in your hospital)... That being said, WE NEED TO MAKE THEM SEE JUST HOW VITAL WOMEN ARE IN THIS COUNTRY's ECONOMY! You can check out those details on the same website!

Actually, there was a huge group of people at the people’s march. The networks are bought and paid for by the billionaires who favor t/rump. DO NOT depend on the Main Stream Media to show facts or accurate information.

A protest is a protest. Maybe the numbers aren’t up as high as we’d like- yet - but for now all we can do is resist, each in their own way and offer unbridled support to those who can go above and beyond. The crowd, no matter how large, is only seen if you’re present. (Or, whatever the kompromat media tells you it was)

But did they SH*T on their own capital?

Nothing more shameful, embarrassing, and a worthless waste of taxpayer money than vandalizing and defecating on your own capital,over a BiG. FAT. LIE.

🏆LOWEST POINT IN AMERICAN HISTORY. Congratulations MAGA

FTR the one in DC was actually quite large.
