1. Oh thank you, New York - KICK REC thank you, river eom

[brush]

18. Thank you New Yorkers. I was there for the Iraq war protests.

The "Abolish ICE" issue is not smart though as it makes us vulnerable to repug attacks of wanting open borders.

Stick with freeing the children and uniting families.

[Nevermypresident]

2. Thank You Postcards for America!!!

I DO believe peaceful protesting against this despicable administration can be effective. We can vote, encourage others to do so, work on Democratic candidates campaigns, AND protest at the same time (contrary to what some here think).

[BigmanPigman]

3. Hear hear!

We all must vote, protest, volunteer, RESIST in every way possible. There can never be "too many". I wrote on DU last week that Indivisible is working hard on many fronts in well organized strategies and someone responded that there are enough Dem volunteers and any more would mess up their efforts. That sounds like a Russian troll talking to me.

[barbtries]

19. me too.

power in numbers!

[OldManTarHeel]

4. Thank-You . . !

Never ever quit . . Never ever give up.

[Scurrilous]

5. K&R

[MontanaMama]

6. KICK!

Return The Children!!!!

[onetexan]

25. second that

Thank you good citizens of NY!!! shout it from the streets & the rooftops - RETURN THE CHILDREN TO THEIR PARENTS!!!

[Honeycombe8]

7. Gotta hand it to 'em. New Yorkers are special.

I guess because there are so many people, and there are so many important, notable people there, that they are able to do protests that strike home.

[spooky3]

8. They are special and it is great that they are doing this! nt

[Old Vet]

31. As a NYer in upstate ny in a bright red district, ALL trump signs around here.......

Are few and far between these days, The tide is turning slowly but surely...…..

[Honeycombe8]

32. Glad to hear that!

You guys are workin' it up there!

Down here in TrumpLand, it's business as usual. Except....maybe a few less vulgar attack responses to the few pro-Dem/anti-Trump ones in the local state & community online groups.

Posters in my community forum were talking about how good the burgers at a new place are. They are SO good, poster said, that it should be called a Trump Burger!!!

Others agreed.

I couldn't help it...I merely responded, "Since it's a Trump Burger, I guess that means it has Russian dressing on it?"

Amazingly, no one responded right away. I think they are taken aback that the "Demotards" (as one called me) are speaking out and talking back. But that's just a guess. (Later, a few responses came in. I didn't look to see what they said. And ONE, only one, "liked" my joke. That is headway here in TrumpLand. )

9. hell to the yeah!

[Maraya1969]

10. I don't even know what street Rump's tower is on but people should just stop going down it.

Consider it off limits. I feel bad for the people stuff in traffic but they'll learn for the next time

[iluvtennis]

11. Way to go New York!!!

[rainin]

12. I have mixed feelings about stopping traffic. We want to hurt the powerful, not the average person.

[C-SPAN4me]

13. Uhhh ... Avg person on 5th Ave in Manhattan?

....pondering appropriate definition of "average" for Manhattan...

[Snake Plissken]

16. You you think the taxi drivers, and delivery people caught in this

are not average people?

[grantcart]

20. People standing in busses?

[JI7]

30. many average people work there

[orangecrush]

22. Business as usual

is over.


There is a traitor in the white house.

[marble falls]

33. If there's any "normal" person not supporting cheetolini on that bus that decides to go cheetolini..

after the street action, he wasn't normal to begin with and he wasn't ever going to vote democratic ever.

[onecent]

14. Thank you PostcardsforAmerica!!!!!!

[mountain grammy]

17. K & R and thank you.

warms my heart! Love you, New Yorkers.

[orangecrush]

21. And so it begins.

[TheBlackAdder]

23. Spectee. Wow, you retain your rights as they are free to send your work to anyone.

[Ferrets are Cool]

24. Wish I could be there. nt

[PJMcK]

26. We just got home from that march!

How cool is it to log onto DU and see the march we were just in?!

Hey, DU administrators: You're getting another donation!

[Cha]

36. Thank You, PJMcK!

27. New Yorkers, we love you!

[FirstLight]

28. Awesome!!!

Thank goodness for my fellow Americans who can afford to take the day off work, etc and show up for these things...

I think I need to start a savings acct separately for things like this. SO when there's a big thing happening in Sacramento I can show up and make some noise too!

[ffr]

29. RESIST!

[brooklynite]

34. Stupid idea...

...and an even more stupid mantra.

A meaningless threat because Donald Trump doesn't own the streets, the people of NYC do. Most of which didn't vote for him. None of which can influence his policies. Many of which are ordinary people trying to get home. I'm sure they all learned a lesson.

[DFW]

38. Normally I would agree with you

But one block on 5th avenue won't paralyze all of Manhattan. In Europe, sometimes one group will paralyze a whole country for a week, and for far lesser things.

[LanternWaste]

39. I'm sure someone, somewhere alleged this was a meaningful threat..

else your entire premise would be entirely irrelevant, and arguing against a position no one made, regardless of any (again) irrelevant lessons you may or may not learn.

[Cha]

35. YES! Thank You, New York!!

Brings tears it's so beautiful to Protest the Kidnapper of babies and children torn from their parents arms and under false pretenses.

37. "The whole world's watching!"

That was the cry that indeed was heard around the world as the Chicago Police beat unarmed protesters at the Democratic Convention fifty years ago and practically handed the election to Nixon.
