They will always be among us. That's why we good folks have to stick around to suppress them.

You would think that after the insurrection he encouraged, no body would ever vote for him again. It’s mind boggling.

There are millions of us who never ever voted for him and if we persist we will get others to reverse things soon. He is an international criminal using the law to hide behind and inflict his terror upon the world and all of us here in the USA

True, who knows what he, his deputy and the other one who should be deported back to The RSA, have up their sleeves to enrich themselves and destroy the wellbeing of US citizens.

I know their names, but sometimes I don’t want to write them.

I'm 72 and unable to march. Luckily I had a helper, so I was able to go, and I just sat while others marched. I was not alone! Lots of us white-hairs were there. We all helped each other. It was so inspiring!

In part, I showed up for you. And anyone who can't be there. We're all doing what we can.

God Bless you Margaret🙏🏼❤️✌🏼That warms my heart knowing you stood up for even me. I once was able to attendI but not in Gods plan for me. thank God I am here to witness this coming together for the greater good our Country… it is the people in the streets, grandstands and in the recliners in living rooms, in nursing homes and hospitals make up “WE THE PEOPLE”we love Americans who have empathy, compassion,respect for our fellow human beings. We should live by The rule of law , The US Constitution, this way we can live freely and with compassion on those less fortunate. With these ideas everyone prospers with love and compassion for others.This is what Jesus Christ can do through us. Each one to reach one. Share the many blessings we have as a Free Nation🙏🏼❤️✌🏼

I’m so happy for you that you were able to attend with assistance! I’m a 67 year old white hair from Australia and am following what’s happening in your beautiful country by your ugly government and the unelected Musk who seems to be puppeteering the monstrous Trump. I hope all of the protesting is successful and can bring this government down. Cancelling Social Security is an abhorrent action that will affect millions of elderly, unemployed, homeless people and children. How can billionaires inflict this in the nation they say they love?

My heart goes out to all of you.

Love and solidarity from Australia.

My husband and I had the pleasure of living in NYC for two wonderful years. My husband had a job training up math teachers through a USA, New Zealand and Australian co-operative The local Americans were so friendly to us and welcomed us into their community. We were there in the Obama era, so had nothing to fear. We lived two blocks from Central Park and when people heard our Aussie accents, they would stop and chat. This is why I’m so focused on what’s going on in your country now.

Stay strong!

Australia and America have been allies since the 2nd World War and The Vietnam War and The Iraq war. We will always stand together as a community.

I won’t stand with Trump, Vance or Musk.

I really think us Olds are going to have to drive this, we can't stay home. The Gen Zs, bless 'em, have 3 jobs and children and roommates so they just don't have time for this. We do, we can be loud and wrinkled and ugly and smart and those of us who are able need to show tf up every time. Let's make their future better.

It surely did! We are strengthened, and uplifted by joining hands. We come from all walks, all values, all cultures, all levels of society, BUT in fighting for ALL and our rights we are UNITED. We stand together, we work for the right to be who we are as we are, who and what we will be in FREEDOM! This is only the beginning!
