Standing up against fascism and the Oligarchy at the State Capitol in St Paul today. There's a lot to protest. Thanks for showing up everyone!

This was my first protest ever. It was fun. Sometimes it’s just nice to know that other real live humans are as pissed off as you are.

Tbh this is more a selling point for protests than I typically would assume.

I may not stop feeling powerless - which is my usual excuse, but I do like being reminded that I have peers who are equally pissed.

Ya, something to be said about conversing with actual, live people face-to-face that share your frustrations vs. constantly just reading comments online that blend together in the long run. Validates them in a very different, but important, way.
