Jan 2017

i'm here in DC, and almost every person i have encountered is here to march tomorrow. they say the number is up to 400,000!
in my hotel the clerk estimated that 70% of the guests are here for the march!

this is huge, and it is about THE FUTURE. please save the anger for another day. i'm not trying to argue that the anger is unwarranted. hell, i still pretty much believe that bernie would have won. but it doesn't matter. what matters is where we go from here, and we need to be united in resistance to the plague that has overcome the government of the united states.
