There are rumors he has Autism and/or is on the spectrum.

I’m on an Baltimore teachers union bus down. Passed Greenbelt Metro,the line is back to 95.

I marched in Washington DC in ‘92. There were HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF WOMEN (and men) and all the news reports deliberately underestimated the numbers and downplayed the whole thing. Prepare for the bullshit deflection/minimalization defense.

Everything is hammered. Metro parking lots are full, trains are full, and the organizers are saying may be close to 500,000 protesters. The permit was for 200K, but the real pushback will be from the overloaded roads and transit systems.

 Was just at the march in London. I have never seen anything like it, the turnout is around 80,000+

A couple of hours ago in freezing Vienna, Austria ;) Have fun, DC!

We’re down here in Dupont Circle today. There’s so much incredible energy everywhere, so much resistance, so much power in womanhood. Our allies in the gay community are breathing a new life into our battles. It’s time to do battle against those who would oppress the other.

Today looks like it will be much better

Thank you, to everyone who went to protest.

If I’d known the Mall was gonna be so empty maybe I’d have planned another trip to the Smithsonian.

We’d do much better connecting with each other first. If the election showed anything, it’s that a lot of parts of the coalition don’t really know the other parts, let alone what those other parts are doing. WE are the majority, we just need to start acting like it.

O/T: A follow-up for those who were wondering: Only 18 Rockettes showed up (out of 30 regulars)

Seriously, it’s about time to call on their bullshit the people who bring up the speech of “this is not the ‘right’ way to protest”, “those people aren’t activists, but vandals”, “rioting isn’t the answer”, “blocking traffick is wrong”, “you’re disturbing the life of others”!

Honestly though, fuck the black block kids who come to protest just because they want to smash shit. You’re not fucking helping.

Yes, there’s a reason I started by describing the bullshit done by the police. They were absolutely instigating.

This construction (oh no, be careful, don’t do anything, or the right wing will grow ever stronger) doesn’t work on me any more.

Here are some protesters shutting down a highway, are they shitty?

Protests are not meant to be orderly, cordoned-off events. Yes, sometimes traffic gets blocked. Sometimes business gets disrupted. Don’t do that kind of thing to protest your favorite band breaking up, but protesting Cheetolini? Hell yes! MLK, modernity’s favorite protester now viewed with rose-colored glasses,

“You should be happy your rapist settled for you. Nobody else wants you.”
