Fight the urge to say "they deserved this". That's when hate wins. Charlotte Clymer does a beautiful job with this thread.

They had it lower at first report, but updated later. I was there - and rough counted a video of the march (2,000-2,500). There were hundreds more that did not march - I'm pretty confident that 4K is close to accurate.

Some thoughts about the military parade in my hometown of Washington DC today -- specifically, the route. Military parades in DC are quite rare. But when they happen, they have always begun, symbolically and geographically, at the Capitol and moved outward. 1/

Coming back into LAX after a dive trip in Indonesia, for the first time EVER I thought "what is on my phone that can get me detained?". And I'm an old white woman - how terrifying is this for people of color? People working at universities? People who are immigra ts?

My son-in-law is in the US with a 10 year green card. It is not safe for him to leave the country (and return).

Full blown constitutional crisis.

Worked 36 years as a military technologist - to help keep the edge for the US - to maintain global peace.

All for nothing.

These fuckmuppets are giving it away. Selling cars on the White House lawn, while joyfully cutting funds that feed the most vulnerable.

This OpEd says it all.

Pistol Shrimp! They often maintain a mutually beneficial housekeeping arrangement with goby (fish). The shrimp builds and maintains a burrow that both animals share, and the goby protects the shrimp from predators! Just saw this on a dive trip in Indonesia!.
