She said she ‘felt bad about being white.’ And that ‘police lie and do bad things.’”

People are making hateful comments on the live footage of the marches, so if you get a coup,e of minutes to yourself, I recommend love bombing the shit out of them. Hopefully your daughter gets well soon 💕

I second this. I’m in the UK, and couldn’t go to London today and am devastated. Watching all you amazing women, men and children and crying with joy. Nothing but love for you all ❤️

I absolutely hate that I couldn’t make it. We had planned on attending our local march, but my daughter was up all night with a fever. So here are, all of us, doing our women’s work - me, mothering; you, working today so that you can take care of yourself on Monday; and hundreds of thousands of our sisters, friends,…

they were just showing a bit of the Chicago march on TV. I think y’all got a helluva lot more than that.

It’s already so bad after day one. I can only imagine how fucked up our lives will be in six months, a year, four years. All we can do is stay pissed off, like you said, and not give up.

My husband bailed too. He did a night out with the boys (after promising he was just stopping by for 1 drink), and is currently still snoring.

Exactly. And I think he knows that, which actually makes it even worse that he won’t go with me. I honestly don’t know what his aversion is, but if it’s some stupid macho thing about not wanting to be a dude at a “women’s” event then he and I will have to have some serious talks.

We do need men to take sides. If they don’t oppose evil, they’re basically sanctioning it. There’s no such thing as an innocent bystander for some issues.

Thanks! We are both attorneys so we’re prepared to flex our limited criminal law knowledge if needed!

May you and your husband, and all others out protesting in our great city stay safe today! Over 50k people are expected to be there.

Edited to include you in the well wishes! Didn’t realize you were there too!

I live in a very conservative suburb of Chicago. Imagine my delighted surprise to see 200+ women, young girls and some men (my hubby included ❤) at the station this morning headed to the march. Several packed trains passed us by.
