Got up at fuck-all o'clock this morning to go into Washington DC for the Women’s March on Washington with @twistedangelsays . I’ll keep you posted on how it turns out.
Wish us luck, babes, and do not go gentle.
GODDAMN, everybody.
Conservative estimates for the DC March are at half a million people, and I was one of them, and godDAMN it was fucking amazing. There were people watching the rally from the trees, from monuments, from the tops of police barriers (myself and my bestie among them), DC was literally a fucking jungle gym for 500K diverse, outspoken, passionate people. It was a joy to see everyone turn out in solidarity, and I’ve never been part of such a massive, kind, good natured group of people. Shout-out to the two lesbians who made sure I didn’t fall off my perch when someone bumped me and to the guy who let me use the top of his head as a prop to get down when the march started.
Watching the protesters lay their signs at the doors of the Trump hotel as they marched home was a fucking joy.
And finally, the most popular (and personal favorite) chant: “We will not go away, welcome to your first day!”
I just watched fucking history happen and it was the most empowering thing I’ve seen in…a long time.

From a friend who works directly with pro-choice groups RE: Women’s March
PLEASE DO NOT FILL OUT ANY “SURVEY” YOU GET FROM “THE WOMEN’S MARCH” ABOUT YOUR WHEREABOUTS, WHO YOU ARE, WHAT METRO YOU ARE TAKING, ETC. INFO BELOW
If you are planning any protests of the inauguration, please be aware that you may be a target of James O’Keefe operatives. If you have spoken to anyone from Breakthrough Development Group, this is an O’Keefe front. Here are some known aliases:
Allison Brandt, Angela Brandt, Allison Moss, Allison Maass, Alyssa Harris, Allison Holmes, Ashley Nichols, Charles Roth, Dan Sandini, Steve Packard, Christian Hartsock, Brittney Rivera, Bri Rivera, Bri Rivers, Mike Carlson, Victor Kesh, Thomas Gibson, Savannah Germain, Jess Koski, Laura Loomer, Jess Jones
If you are working with Disrupt J20 specifically, you are being targeted by O’Keefe. He is apparently trying to get progressives to incite violence.
There will be moles in your campaigns. PLEASE make sure to vet your volunteers. Please get in touch with me if you believe you have been contacted by one of his operatives.
Let me re-emphasize her point, DO NOT FILL OUT ANY SURVEYS! I’m re-emphasizing because I’ve seen a lot of people re-blogging that Women’s March survey. Don’t do it!!
Please make sure anyone you know who is planning to attend sees this!
