For the last few months I was really really worried about the rapid decline of the US right before our eyes
A lot of officials remained silent, companies kissed the ring etc
The recent rise up against Musk was a great start but I think today was a day that really gave hope!
So many people showed up across the US, that really shows we're not alone in this and that we're all sick and tired of it
Keep it peaceful, keep protesting and keep resisting!
You are truly wonderful!

@stux I've seen the numbers 5 million and 11 million. I have no idea if either of those numbers are accurate, but whatever the number, Americans realized they have power, they are the majority, and we can turn this around. We've made it so much harder for ourselves by letting Trump and other extremists into public office/power, but we can do this!!!! We can. It will just take perseverance and lots of hard work.
