Uppity Women Marching Against Trump's American Carnage: Your Wonkette Livebloog
It's the day after the inauguration, the nation is still standing, and women and men are marching all over the country to send a clear message to the Hair Beast in the White House: Down With This Sort Of Thing! We'll be bringing you updates from the media and the Twitter and from our network of Wonkers as they get enough coffee in their system to post photos! And when we're not updating, we'll be here for you to chat, as you will.
10: 27There definitely seems to be a running theme in some of these signs.
10: 35Love this one from Berlin, via Human Rights Watch and the Guardian: Â
10: 49Well that's some fine timing: Gloria Steinem speaking at the women's march ( livestream at Vox, not embeddable, sorry!). Networks all covering the interfaith prayer service at the National Cathedral, of course.
10: 55Did we say not embeddable? We found the embed over at the Facebook page!Â
11: 12There is something to be said for understatement.Â
We should note this was posted by an InfoWars editor who is displeased himself: "It's great to see these #WomensMarch protesters know exactly what they're demonstrating against." Haw haw, stupid ladies.

As I told one of my daughters, who didn't go (of *course* she could have come with me), no one who knows me had any doubt I'd be there.
As I said, you have *no* idea how appalled I am at having to be in the streets again, forty-odd years later.
(Historical note: yes, I *was* in the streets of Chicago in '68.)
I've made it a point to respond to any of them saying maybe we should march in favor of The Insecure Lying Bastard to say - yes, by all means, please organize and show us your strength! Not a one has responded back to that.
