Trump protesters plan to open 'movement house' in Washington DC
The Manchester Guardian ^ | December 20, 2016 | Adam Gabbatt

A group of millennial activists from across the country plan to open a “movement house” in Washington DC next month, which will serve as a permanent base to protest Donald Trump’s presidency.

The organizers are mostly women of color, many of whom campaigned for Bernie Sanders during the Democratic primary.

The house, which will be set up by inauguration day on 20 January, has been dubbed “District 13”, in a reference to a rebellious neighborhood in the Hunger Games books and films.

Activists told the Guardian that it will serve as a “space for the best kinds of troublemakers from around the country”. The property will be located in Capitol Hill, close to the White House and the Capitol building, and will enable activists to quickly mobilize against Trump should he court controversy during his presidency.

“Ultimately it’s to make sure we hold him accountable,” said Moumita Ahmed, the founder of Millennials for Revolution, a group which span off from the Bernie Sanders-supporting Millennials for Bernie.

“Because his presidency is not normal at all. It’s our duty to make sure he doesn’t succeed.

“If he succeeds it’s a message that everything he stood for is OK. That it’s OK to get to power in the way that he did, and hurt all the people he’s hurt.”(continued)

Trump protesters plan to open ‘movement house’ in Washington DC.

Of course. The “Drats” will open the first two story outhouse in Washington. And they are stupid enough to use it daily. With hierarchy in place.

It IS an ugly tattoo, no matter what it is supposed to be.

After a loooong look, I think it is "supposed" to be Bernie Sanders.

Even then, it doesn't look like him at all.

So now the idiot has to explain what it is for the rest of her pathetic life.

"What is that on your arm? Some kind of peace symbol?"

Sanders!

"WHO?"

You know, the guy who was cheated by Hillary for the nomination!

"OK, so why are you wasting your anger at Trump?. Shouldn't you be protesting Hillary?"

Sigh. Some people just don't get it.

We just don't like Trump.

"OK. But what does Sanders have to do with Trump? Why would you mark your body forever?"

Sigh. We are just too sophisticated for you to understand.
