Today's the day....

We had a small warmup rally yesterday. Spoke with some passers by and they indicated that they would join us today at the capitol
We tested our new bullhorn (works well!!) Someone was handing out Tim Snyder's book On Tyranny so I thought it was a very good afternoon.
Signs are ready, camera, case of water to hand out. Enthusiasm is off the charts
Be safe everyone and have a great day!!!

Our Indivisible group had representation, and signs, and good attitudes! Nice to be with so many people of good intentions. Not a hint of calamity of ANY kind! Everybody was well-behaved (as usual) and congenial as could be! I heard attendance ranged from 1,000 to 15-hundred. The weather cooperated, too! The chit-chat beforehand was about expected violence breaking out, and NOTHING could be further from the truth.

I’ve noticed good behavior on parade at every one of these things, and I’ve attended quite a few of ‘em. We’re all friends out there, whether we know each other’s names by now, or not.

A FANTASTIC way to spend a Saturday afternoon! There’ll be another one tomorrow, so I hear. And I’m going to that one, too!

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
