This is a great day for women, and a great day for democracy. Today was not just about taking an active part in sending a strong message to the new president and administration, it was also about taking a proactive part in making a statement about some of the ridiculous and offensive policy proposals Trump made during his campaign.

This wasn't a protest, but rather it was a demonstration. And it was not so much directed at Trump as to his administration and to Republicans in general. There is no point addressing Trump or trying to reason with him, he clearly could care less what anyone thinks. But reps and senators need to think about their careers and about the long term viability of the GOP. Trump can ignore these women. With billions of wealth, he can afford to, but he needs the politicians to help enact his irrational policies, and after this he is less likely to have their complete support.

Kudos to all participants on today's success!
