“Your voice is your power. Don’t let anyone take away your power. Now is the time to stand up. Now is the time to speak out.” – Kamala Harris, former U.S. Senator, Vice-President and Democratic presidential candidate

On of my favourite photos from hundreds of rallies that took place this past April 5th against Trump and his dangerous and destructive agenda
With all of the bad going down these days around ‘King Trump’, it is easy to fall into a state of despair.
I think that is a big part of his game plan though, to the extent he has any kind of a coherent plan beyond whatever nonsense he reads on his smart phone while sitting on his golden throne in the middle of the night. It is to bum us out and grind us down to a point where there is little or no strength left and resistance to what he and others in his idiocracy do.
The turnout on streets, in parks and courtyards across the United States (and some cities in Canada) of countless hundreds of thousands people this past Saturday, April 5th to protest what Trump is doing to unravel democracy and agencies and institutions that provided vital public services, and the threats he is aiming at Canada and other longtime friends and allies around the world transmits a powerful sign of hope.
One of the many rallies in cities and towns across North America this past April 5th.
It should inspire us all to believe that if there is enough of us standing together, there is hope that we can snuff out what Trump and his ilk are trying to do to the freedoms and common good efforts generations of people in the United States and Canada have fought so hard for.
On the American news network MSNBC this April 7th, author, political commentator and network host extraordinaire Rachel Maddow did a fabulous job of highlighting the passion and energy in those ‘Hands-Off rallies’ a few days earlier.
