I hope some of the MANY candidates running in primaries have policy platforms to help small / local businesses and combat trump’s economic policies.

Communities are not economically sound or livable without small business. 2/*

This was before the federal food stamp act of 1964.

My point is this: my Mom’s family depended on the kindness of a ghostly stranger because there was no safety net. Today, we have one — and it’s our president’s job to protect it not use it for political leverage. 3/*

When her mom (my grandmother) opened the door there was nobody there but bags of groceries to make Thanksgiving dinner. They heard no car and saw no footprints in the snow — but someone, somehow, made sure they would not go hungry. 2/

Also, I am far from being a teen but saying Teen Vogue will focus on "career development, cultural leadership and other issues that matter most to young people." is incredibly condescending and dismissive of anyone who Condé Nast wants as a reader of any of their pubs.

I hope the reported 165,000 marchers in NYC today engage in knocking doors for dems challenging in tough districts and civic life in their community. 4*

I marched today because my patriotism, optimism, and love is stronger than my frustration and fear.

I realize today was more of a declaration of independence, a performative act (I did get great pictures) and not about holding our president, who thinks any publicity is good publicity, to account. 3

I marched today because I choose to do the work for a more perfect union and to uplift our democracy, standup to hate, dictatorship, authoritarianism, extremism, and fascism.

I did not march today to build an ideological movement or for a burn-it-all-down revolution. 2
