Creating a big tent is fine, great even. But that tent has to have a pole, a backbone, a set of values it believes in and policies it supports, otherwise it simply caves in and is no kind of shelter, gathering place or party at all.

We may be many & they be few but they need us more than we need them.
Another world is not only possible, she's on her way. I can hear her breathing.” - Arundhati Roy

This. Make it hard for the Republicans to destroy the country.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

It’s a metaphor for the next 4 years.
The weather made it worse but it was going to be an embarrassing crowd no matter what. So he cancelled it because of his ego.
But the billionaires will get the indoor seats - and the regular people who paid thousands to come get screwed.

Today's moment of joy came early - an 8th grade boy, a reluctant reader, walked into class and said words I thought I'd never hear from him: "My book is SO GOOD!" One of his friends chimed in, "Mine, too!" My day was made by 9:47 am. (The books: Nyxia and The Hate U Give.)
