Thankful that these figureheads are gathering to stand up for people. BUT also note that only ONE US Congressperson is showing up!

And if all they are going to do is talk about how to "stay safe" in light of these thugs, it's bullshit and no help. They should either cancel the events or find some (police?) agency to cover the safety of those participating...

Otherwise, get ready to see this become a tragedy and them hauling people off by the truckload, citizens or no.
I'm disgusted.
