One week into the Trump Administration and already we have seen several large outpourings of American protests in the streets. I can't remember seeing this kind of resistance to our government since the '60s. And what the '60s lacked was social media, which has the ability to organize and rally large crowds in a matter of hours, as we saw at the airports last night.

This is like nothing we've seen before in this country. America is awake now. I guess we have our fascist new president to thank for shaking us out of our stupor.

One thing is for certain, this is only the beginning of the resistance. It's only going to grow from here.

Change, just like it did in the '60s.

Oh, by the title I thought this might be about our homeless people including homeless families with children, as I know that is a continuing thing that I hope will be addressed through the actions of the Trump administration.

Maybe when the economy gets rolling, we get those protesters a job, or I suspect that is what they are hoping to avoid. Better to cry about no jobs and wanting everything free rather than earning one's way.

The way #45 is going about governing is like the Keystone Cops, totally unprofessional and that fact alone is causing unnecessary division. I doubt #45 could pass a 5th grade civics class. The resistance isn't just coming from liberals.

Plus, Spring is coming and new video games will be released. This is sorta the null zone right now with not much to do.

People are realizing the horrible mistake they made by not voting.

I agree this is only the beginning.

People have a voice and they are making it heard.

Let them whine

I'll be working and being productive. Any disorder or rule of law that is broken should be dealt with by the police that Trump actually respects.
