I was there. There was no display of hatred or rage. We danced, we cheered, we hugged. We wore pink pussy hats to symbolize our shared gender, a proud, defiant pushback to Trump and right-wing's misogyny.

Yesterday was all about anger, resentment and the embrace of violence and destruction.

These two events couldn't be further apart. The Women's March was a celebration, life-affirming.

Yesterday?

A Death Cult on the march.
