It's nice to see the senate opposition functioning.

Edit: 18 hours of holding the senate floor, giving voice to the american people. Lots of tears as american suffering is read out loud for the congressional record. Testiment from Americans across the country. This is the voice of the people. Please click the link, share and watch. The media needs to know we care about the opposition more than we care about trump rambling on a plane about fort knox.

Yet somehow Democrats are even worse than Republicans, which is why Americans took power from them and gave it to Republicans.

Stupid fucking clown country.

it is an absolute clownshow out there for sure! We need to stop it before it gets way out of hand and has cataclysmic effects.

Well yeah you should. Im honestly shocked that most people are okay with this and arent protesting. If Germany would be in the midst of a fascist takeover again, Id spend half my day on the streets shouting. Im not evem sure if its not already too late, Trump has eliminated almost all resistance except for something the order of a revolution.

You gotta remember in America we are all far apart. I have to drive 30 minutes to the closest protest. 40 Million people in california live 48 hours away from washington DC.

We can't easily get our population in the same place at the same time. People are doing their best, there are lots of small protests everywhere. They will get bigger when the weather gets nicer. This filibuster has got me excited. Hopefully we can get rid of some of the apathy and get to some action. We are doing something we're just spread apart and are lacking direction and leadership. It's hard to keep hope, hell its hard to keep up with the stream of evil shit this admin does every day.

It's breaking me and stealing my humanity. More people will fight as it breaks them too. They may have to lose their granma to poverty and disease but even thats not far away now.

Of course, not everyone can get to DC, but there are already millions there. Thanks for doing your part.

Yea I hope to hear more news from the big cities. For those of you who can just walk out of your houses in mass, grab a sign and do it!

I got 20 people in 2 miles of me. Our town square is just a corner of a highway with a gas station and a church.
