I'm going to be posting anti-Trump stuff under the tag "potatoes of defiance" (thank you Terry Pratchett!) for anyone who wants to filter it out.

Anyway, I finally managed to set up a few recurring donations yesterday and am deciding what to do with the rest of the money I've budgeted for donations. And I made my first call to my Congressperson. It went to voicemail, and I stuttered a bit, and I don't even know if it was helpful, but at least that was a start!

Also waving a fist in solidarity to everyone going out to march today. CB is out there, but my cold has triggered my asthma so I'm not =(. The pictures of people around the world protesting are great though.

And as an FYI, I've stopped crossposting to LJ and am still debating over deleting all my posts there and/or my account.

So many amazing photos, from marches all over the world. It's awesome.

I didn't know you could filter by tag on DW. How do you do that?

[tornir]

You create a subscription filter, and place the account(s)/community(s)/feed(s) you want to filter in it.
Then select each one and set the content (safe/adult/all) and tag (any/all/none) criteria you wish to see. Don't forget to click the tag(s) to filter on.
The filter will show up in your Manage Circle Filter drop-down at the top of the page.
It's only available on paid accounts.

Go you! *cheers you on*

As people were saying yesterday: we're probably going to be doing a lot of this over the next few years. So there will be plenty more opportunities!

I love the tag, also of course the subject matter. Bless Pterry. I wish we still had him.

Just think of all of us who stayed home but might have marched -- and make the demos even bigger! That's a lot of people.

Yay for phone calls. Carry on.

Because of health, I can't march or stand up for long times. I dropped off (requested) food at SFO for demonstrators today. I can't do a lot, but there are choices even if I can't be there.
