       Protest still has power Defeatism is  felt more at  the elite level rather than on the ground: Already in the first weeks of Trump 2.0, there were far more protests than during the same period in the first administration. What seemed to be missing was a massive event serving as a focal point: Now the more than 1,000 gatherings, with 100,000 showing up in DC alone, have provided one.https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/apr/22/protest-trump-resistance-power?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

       @cdarwin Just what I said to a doubter ~20 years ago about an Iraq war demo.Resistance can't be all sitting behind a computer writing, and it can't be all unseen but dangerous actions.There has to be singing, and yelling, and anger, and joy.
