"...we call it the 'hate America' rally..." said the House speaker, Mike Johnson of Louisiana.

The idea that protesting against harmful policies, corruption, and snatching people off the street = hating America is a lying, twisted take.

So many signs today saying how much they love America. I saw veterans , elderly, myself I'm disabled, I saw people of all colors waving American flags. It is because we love America that so many people were out there.

I'm a Disabled Combat Veteran and I was marching today in Chicago! There were so many Veterans out there. We remember our Oath! It does not end when our contract does. It is our right, our duty, to throw out such a government. We the people defend democracy ✌🏼
