Mazars and Deutsche Bank could have ended this nightmare before it started.
They could still get him out of office.
But instead, they want mass death.
Don’t forget that.

Women's March on Washington begins as Trump presidency faces global protests – live
Over 20 countries see protests on the first day of Trump’s presidency
Photos: women’s marches around the world
Eve Ensler: The Women’s March heralds a renaissance of resistance
Without a path from protest to power, the march will end up like Occupy

Just in from Reuters, Washington subway reports 275,000 trips as of 11am today in comparison with 193,000 on inauguration day yesterday.




Michael Moore: 'call Congress every single day'

Filmmaker Michael Moore takes to the stage, says it looks like one million marchers are in DC today.

“OK, we got through day one!” he quips.

“We’re in day two now of the Turmp tragedy. Who wants to be in my next movie?” asks Moore.

Moore gets a copy of the Washington Post and reads the headline of ‘Trump takes power’.

“Here’s the power. Here’s the majority of America right here,” declares Moore.

“We are here to vow to end the Trump carnage,” he adds.

“I want you to call Congress every single day. Every single day,” says Moore. He gives the number to Congress: 202-225-3121 and gets the crowd to chant the number.



Helena Smith
Over in Athens protestors have gathered outside the US embassy reports our correspondent Helena Smith:

Many of the women who have taken to the streets within view of the Acropolis says today’s demonstration is “only the start” of a much broader pressure campaign that will be brought to bear on the Trump administration.

“Today’s march is our first demonstration in support of a broad spectrum of human rights. And this is only the start. From here on, we’ll be examining the issues, not just the click-bait. We’ll be writing and calling our elected officials, making our views known, holding their feet to the fire,” said Karen Lee who heads Democrats Abroad which organised the protest rally.

“We expect better for our country, and we’re committed to halting the egregious policies the new administration seems set to ram through.”

“The current representation does not reflect the majority in our country,” added Sarajane Kidd also from Democrats Abroad. “

“For me, it is a question of letting Trump and our lawmakers know that ‘we are watching you!’”

Ashley Judd: ‘I feel Hitler in these streets’

Actress Ashley Judd giving a pretty amazing beat poetry style speech about being a “nasty woman”.

“I am not as nasty as a swastika on a rainbow flag,” says Judd.

“I feel Hitler in these streets. A moustache traded for a toupee, Nazis renamed, the cabinet electro-conversion therapy the new gas chambers... turning rainbows in suicide notes, I am not as nasty as racism, white supremacy, misogyny, ignorance,” says Judd.

“I’m nasty as my grandmothers fought to get me into that voting booth,” says Judd.

“Why is the work of a black woman and a Hispanic woman worth 63 and 54 cents of a privileged white man’s daughter’s dollar?”

Judd talks about Viagra and anti-hair-thinning drugs being tax free while menstrual products are taxed.

“Is the bloodstain on my jeans more embarrassing than the thinning of your hair?” she asks.

“Our pussies ain’t for grabbing. They’re for reminding you that our walls are stronger than America’s ever will. They are for pleasure, they are for birthing new generations ... of nasty woman,” she declares.

This is going to sound crude but it is realistic:

I hope everyone has on their Depends.
There is no me. There is no you. There is all. There is no you. There is no me. And that is all. A profound acceptance of an enormous pageantry. A haunting certainty that the unifying principle of this universe is love. -- Propagandhi
