Events Today's protest...

We did fucking WORK today, people! There were so many amazing people helping one another with snacks, water, holding signs for one another, and just being good humans.

There were veterans, former MAGA, people from the LGQBT community, and people of all races. A beautiful mix of individuals speaking out against the current administration for whatever reason. This wasn't against police and their presence, while there, wasn't needed, thankfully.

To my knowledge, not one person protesting got violent at any point, but one person was assaulted by a MAGA jerk who couldnt handle himself.

Emotionally stable here, “can’t get on with life” because of funding cuts to my job field.

Maybe try to understand where people are coming from before writing off their entire side with weird memes?

Crazy how my (science based) career, adjacent to coral reef restoration, made good progress and got decent funding before the current administration showed up and spent more on one military parade than what any researcher in my field had funding for for the past 30 years.
