Attended the San Francisco Rally today

Great to see the large peaceful crowds. The tv said "tens of thousands" attended. Nancy Pelosi was there and she marched with us. David Cay Johnson was also there and said thump had ties to mobsters and he is dirty. And his tax returns must be released from 2006 to 2016.

Unfortunately I saw on the news that the protests over in Berkeley turned ugly between the pro chump and anti chump protesters. 15 people arrested. But our San Francisco one was peaceful and no violence. My hubby and I actually saw ourselves on the news!!!

I wore a bunny hat that said, " the Easter bunny wants chump to release his taxes".

It feels good being out in the streets protesting the orange cretin. Saw a lot of great signs and there were three inflatable chickens with yellow hair.

The 1776 American revolution was in large part a revolt against unfair tax policies, where citizens were given a heavy tax burden without having a voice in government. Fast forward 241 years later, and not much has changed at the top.

rally. Maybe 150-200 people? Not bad for rethug Brevard County. Great to see some liberals coming out to voice their opinion. And a beautiful day here helped; we were lined up on the side of a bridge going to the beach.

Thanks for sharing, sounded like fun.
