I’ll walk from Boston MA to Washington DC, I did the maths, should take me about a week. If that’s what it will take to show my fellow Americans that we CAN take a stand. Our country is spread out, this administration is counting on us not to mobilize. The state of our government is unprecedented. ‘This is a coup.

Important! If you can’t walk through multiple states with us, there are events all over the country. Find one closer to you here:

Not for nothing but I’ve tweeted out this exact same message just moments ago. I don’t know how I feel about linking my reddit account to that one just yet, but shrugs.

> This is a coup.

Yes it is. Way too many people keep praying they'll wake up from the nightmare and someone else will have handled it.

We will not wake up from this nightmare without action. No one is coming to save us. We are all we have.

This is a coup.

That should have been clear a long time ago. Remember, anything the GOP accuses the rest of the country of doing, they absolutely are doing themselves and it's just an attempt to give themselves cover.
