I did a walkthrough, here’s a timelapse. This is probably the biggest demo in D.C. so far post-inauguration, brought together by the 50501 Movement which originated on Reddit.
Everyone was chanting “fire Elon!” while I was filming this.

I absolutely love how quickly Canadians started placing signs in their businesses to discourage customers from buying any American products and I also love how Prime Minister Justin Trudeau specifically targeted Red States in retaliation. I love you Canada, I’m rooting for you.

Reminder: They're trying to demoralize you, and they're doing a great job of it. Part of resisting is making time for joy despite the attempts to make you feel this is not the time for it. Love your people. Dig the art that speaks to you. Go to the places where life flows into you. You deserve joy.
