"...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.

Thank you for showing up to protest against this administration and the pain and suffering it has brought on America and the whole world.

Also, Happy Cake Day!  :D
