What did it all mean? A good read below. Watching from Canada, there is a sadness about the Women’s marches, and BLM marches and all the other marches despite which Trump got elected.
I wrote about attending No Kings, opposing visions of America, what hating those visions says about those who hate them, the importance being earnest, and the necessity of finding the next step.

Global warming caused by humans is an observed fact. Yes, science still needs to learn more, but it's no more in overall doubt than the theory of gravity. And it's bad. Willful ignorance, enforced by those who choose to deny science, is an existential threat to our civilization.
