It's bad when the introverts have to protest

[grammarwoman]

I don't DO protests well. I always feel on the edge of tears, too angry and sick that it's necessary to state the obvious, that we shouldn't have to protest basic things like politicians breaking the law, but feeling like I can at least be one more in the crowd.

It was a good group tonight, at least a couple hundred people roused at the last minute to yell "This is what democracy looks like!" and "No one is above the law!" and "Let Bob keep his job!" as we marched downtown. My sign had two sides, one with "Protect Mueller's Investigation! Time-out to the Toddler-in-Chief!" and the other:

"Tantrums
Relentlessly
Undermine
AMerica's
Political System."

Not a lot of planning involved, but heartfelt all the same. I'm curious if it or I will show up in any pictures, because lots of people were taking photos and video.

I hate the necessity, but I'm glad I wasn't alone out there.

Oh, you rock!! I was so tired today; I could not join at this point. Thanks for doing it.

I think you did way more than your fair share - glad I could do this!

Thank you for going and participating.

Being a body in a crowd is much, much easier on me that actually having to knock on doors or talk with people. But wow, do I look forward to this not feeling so urgent and necessary!

EXCELLENT poster.

Thank you! There were many great signs there tonight, and people equipped with supplies for others to do their own. Gotta love the prepared protestors.

I love mail. It just makes people happy - getting it and, for me, sending it (and getting it). A nice surprise! <3333
