One of the most important things is that the people getting out in the streets are making space for their reps to be bolder. And it's a positive feedback loop. Lots of signs quoting Cory Booker today

After Cory Booker’s feat and the increasing number of people taking it outside…today was amazing, people!…I feel some small puzzle pieces are falling into place. We need our Senate and House members to back us up and stop hesitating. Don’t ever forget…they work for us. Remind them! 🇺🇸
Protests today won’t bother orange hair,
Because he really doesn’t care!
But we know that you old fuddy duddy!
We are actually after your congressional buddies!
One and done they will hear us say!
Better get off your duffs or you will pay!
KUDOS to all the good people that took part in the mass protests today. SHAME on the networks (save ABC) for basically ignoring them. HOPE that this only galvanizes our determination to make our voices heard. Protest or acquiesce!!
This is why what Booker did was so important. I have lots of criticisms of Booker, but he is leading, which is exactly what we need from those that we elect. And he made history which is pretty fucking cool. Seeing the response to him from the ppl will make others step up in congress.
The quote on that sign is actually from Wael Ghonim who helped lead the Tahrir Square protests that brought down Egyptian dictator Hosni Mubarak in 2011.

The huge turnout of Hands Off protesters today is a good start. Let's make the dictators look like losers and buffoons.
It's middle school politics, but it works.

Seems like many people were paying attention and the political media is purposely missing (or mischaracterizing) ……yet another story.

In Mars with Elmo and Donald⁉️
These protests show them this feeling is bigger and longer lasting than they thought (natch).
I still don't have faith in them. But things are trending well.
