One year of Trump, what is left to say, that hasn’t been said or written on my blog and so many others. One year later I am still upset and in shock about Trump and his supporters, nothing has changed. My willingness to accept him and all the backward changes he and his rich friends are making, is still zero. I started to wonder if I am the only one who feels that way. Why can’t I be quiet and bow my head in defeat like so many other do? I still remember a blogger who is my age, who stated that she would just bury her head in the sand for four years. Why can’t I? It would be healthier for me, that’s for sure.
Guess what? I am not the only one. There are many, many others like me. Women who are fed up with politics and they continue to speak up and they showed up.
I hear you sister, same here.
I want to hug the woman who held up this sign.
We don’t have to bow our head and quietly accept all the changes that involve us. We have to speak up and ultimately be the change.
Women solidarity is race neutral. Watch and learn men! We will show up at the next elections all of us. Black and white, Latinos and Asian, right beside native American women. We will be there, that’s a promise.
Take America back! Who ever will be running for Senate, House or President. There is your slogan.
I am very proud of all the women who are speaking up and showing up. I am thrilled to see so many young women at the events. We will make a difference in 2018 and the years to come. I am sure of it.
I proudly wear my pussy hat and so should you.
One good thing is Trump has more women in high positions than any president in history. I sure like that.
Yes, he made room for his Millionaire friends and put a lot of unqualified woman like Betsy Devos in office. They do so much harm, it’s shameful.
I come with a different perspective. Making noise and demonstrating is fine, but it might be that quietly or silently showing up at the voting booth will ne what really makes the change. I think that’s really how it happened in AL, in addition to the obvious differences between the candidates.
This also implies, to me, that we must have good candidates. What and who I have seen lining up as candidates, especially on the local level, make me optimistic that we will have more good candidates, especially women, this year. Getting behind and getting out in support of these specific candidates will go a long way to reshaping and taking back our government(s).
I agree and disagree. I have the utmost respect for everybody who speaks up this days. People didn’t show up at the voting booth in the last election, they quietly sat at home.
As for good candidates, there are a lot locally but no one nationally.
I so hope you do get to Take America Back….
I have spent most of the weekend with tears in my eyes watching all the people come out and speak up. Now to get everyone to show up to vote!
Nasty women rock!
I loved that sign “… I’m changing what I cannot accept”. Well said!
Keep resisting (and read No is Not Enough, it helps). I am with you too.

We had a great time here in Woodstock NY yesterday, with a march and a brass band that was so fun that we danced most of the way. The speakers were great, including those who worked with DREAMers and indeed had been them, and the musicians were folks who have been in town for decades, plus younger people. It was a wonderful, very positive time, and the age range of people, and number of us on canes etc., was inspiring, as was the presence of people of colour and young folks and a lot of GLBTQ+ representation. The best chant I heard was WE WANT A LEADER, NOT A CREEPY TWEETER–cracked me up!
“We want a leader, not a creepy tweeter,” cracked me up right now. Good one!
I loved it. It cracked me up too.
Powerful images, powerful words, my friend. My cousin attended the march in her hometown and said cars drove by honking in solidarity, but many gave them the finger and shouted obscenities. Power in numbers we can only hope.
I hear you ma’am, and all the other ladies (and gents) who are trying to make people see reason.
