Hope
Looking at pictures of the multitudes at the NO KINGS rallies yesterday fills me with hope. Hope for the preservation of our democracy. Hope for a return to civility. And hope for a new day for this sadly divided country.

I always try to be hopeful, but it's a cautious hope.
I am in awe at how well these rallies and marches were organized, with care taken to (re)direct traffic (where police weren't already doing that) and keeping things moving and calm. It took a lot of preparation and planning, and a lot of hard work all the way through.

We’re all hoping here north of you. Almost all anyway.
The people, en masse, show a different kind of power to that which is being perpetrated by the politicians and ICE.
There looked to be masses of people everywhere so that is good.

It all seemed patriotic and good-natured. The only arrest I know of was the woman in Fairhope Alabama for indecent exposure (she was fully covered).
