    The Pink Tide has awakened.



    Trump at One Year: Women's March returns, but the real focus now is the midterm elections
    January 17, 2018

    WASHINGTON — The Women's March will be back on the streets this weekend, but now the movement that arose in "resistance" to President Trump is about more than just marching.

    It's about registering voters and electoral power in November. And for Linda Meigs of Huntsville, Ala., like many others inspired by last year's march in Washington, D.C., it’s about running.

    Instead of simply attending one of the many Women’s March anniversary events across the nation this weekend, this time Meigs will be speaking at her hometown event – as a Democratic candidate for Alabama’s state house.

    “A year ago, I would have described myself as a teacher, a wife and a mother,” said Meigs, 63, a middle school French teacher. “Now, because of the events of this past year, I add to that an activist and a leader. And it’s pretty darned exciting.”

    The Women’s March drew millions of protesters at events nationwide on the first full day of Trump’s administration.

    Since then, activists have swelled the ranks of grassroots organizations, forming a national network of volunteers that Democrats hope will help them retake control of the U.S. House of Representatives in November. Already, the anti-Trump resistance movement has helped Democrats pick up a Senate seat in Alabama’s special election and exceed expectations in other elections across the country.

    This weekend, as hundreds of local Women’s March anniversary events are held across the country, national organizers in Las Vegas will launch the next phase of their movement, “Power to the Polls,” a national voter registration and mobilization tour targeting swing states. They hope to register 1 million new voters and help elect more women and progressives to office.

    “It’s really a weekend for families and for women to come together and reflect on everything that we have accomplished in 2017 and then think about how we need to move beyond just resistance,” said Bob Bland, Women's March co-president. “We have enormous collective power when we come together in numbers too large to ignore.”

    Tens of thousands of women now want to run for office. Just one organization, Emily’s List, which helps elect pro-choice Democratic women, has heard from 26,000 women since Election Day 2016 who are interested in running. That’s compared to the 920 women who reached out during the two-year 2016 election cycle.

    Democrats have won every special election since Trump was elected, and women have had a strong hand in every one of those victories .. just as they will in 2018.
    AMERICAN HISTORY ITSELF IS A TESTAMENT TO THE STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE OF AFRICAN PEOPLE. WE, ALONG WITH THE COURGE AND SACRIFICES OF CONSCIOUS WHITE AMERICANS, LIKE VIOLA LIUZZO, EVERETT DIRKSEN, AND MANY OTHERS, HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED TOGETHER FOR OUR FREEDOM, AND FOR OUR SURVIVAL.

    In America, rights are are not determined by what is just, fair, equitable, honest, nor by what Jesus would do. Rights are determined ONLY by what you can DEMAND.

    People have tried so hard to dismiss this group and it isn’t wise to do so! More women than ever, as the article stated, are becoming involved, and running for office, I love it.

    Wearing pink vagina hats is discriminatory to women who's vaginas are brown.

    I just wish it was a better pink used. These Pepto Bismol pinks, make me feel like I need to use some of the stuff. Out of all pinks why that one?

    Women feel empowered under a Trump presidency. They know that Trump won't tolerate ... the SS Media protecting liberal sexual predators like Cumstain and Weinstain.
    "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."
    — Joe Biden on Obama.

    Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.

    D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.

    Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".
