I've watched this a dozen times. It gives my heart so much hope. The kids are alright.

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.
