Tomorrow needs to look like exactly what it is; a bunch of moms, daughters and grandmas showing up to oppose a new president that is already deeply unpopular.
Go join a young Republicans group and make a nuisance of yourself. Be a massive protocol snob, demand that meetings don't start one second late, or finish one second early. Make every discussion about whether or not it is the right time and group of people to have that discussion. Create a massive structure of permission, bureaucracy and paperwork. Make the organization confusing and exclusionary to new members. Vote against anything that seems like it might be a good idea, and demand ideological purity in all things.
Dude the Young Republicans aren't Rumpelstiltskin, defeated by the right incantation. If you join and you're all THE MEETING IS ONE SECOND LATE CAN'T START IT you'll get thrown out like the obnoxious weirdo you are.
If you want to disrupt the YRs, join one and support Trumpist anti-globalism. The vast majority of the clubs are National Review-style ideological purists and rubbing their noses in the fact that - your- candidate won while their umpteen Establishment-approved candidates lost is sure to start some arguments.

I will probably go to the Austin march at the Capitol building tomorrow. Hopefully I can get my brother to come with me--either he takes some action or he can stop sharing snarky anti-Trump tweets at me.

Actually, "Stickler for the rules and procedures", is the most effective way to disrupt an organization according to both CIA, FBI, MI5/6 and FSA guides (and those of their predecessors) without anyone realizing you are trying to do it, and still making everyone else think you are a team player. You do stuff like this.
"We shouldn't start this meeting without Steve, he's the real lead on this issue"
"I'm worried that by talking about this, we're going to upset Jenny. We should make sure she agrees with us expanding the discussion before using her work"
"Hey John, we don't have a quorum here for a decision on how we allocate the club budget. We have rules for a reason, and we must follow them"
"I know a decision on this is imminent, but we haven't heard from Calvin yet. Calvin, needs his chance to speak. Lets put off this decision and schedule another review"
"I'd like to start this second meeting with a full review of everything we said in the first meeting so that everyone who didn't come to that is up to speed"
"Should we be talking about this issue? Are we sure its really the best use of our time?"
"I know a great place to get signs! They'll do an awesome job" (Proceed to buy the most overpriced signs you can find)
"Hey John, I know that you brought these donuts for everyone to share, but we're a 403b tax exempt organization. You need to file a P16t4 donation form to give us these, or we have to declare them on the blah blah..."
It's a standard way to disrupt an operation without exposing yourself to risk. While you are right, trying to take it over as a Trumpist would also cause disruption and delay in a perfectly legal and safe way, its a lot harder for someone who isn't a Trumpist to do. Pretending to be a moderate who is ashamed of their Republican leanings is a lot easier a sell than pretending to be a boisterous Trump supporter. And it doesn't require you to do or say anything horribly obnoxious.

One of my favorite recent protest sign photos (I may have seen it around here, actually) was the 60 or so year old woman holding a sign that said "I can't believe I still have to protest against this shit".
Just got off the phone with my mom. She is going to try and go to the Denver protest. If my facebook is right almost every woman I know in Denver is going. Same for DC for that matter.
Also DC folks be prepared for it being not freezing as well. Right now it is going to be mid to high 50's it seems.
It would be vaguely amusing if the men in the crowd held up the old signs for the oppressed groups who have been ushered to the front of the line in front of women for full social inclusion. Because back when women got started with this, they campaigned alongside a lot of groups who have subsequently been fully included into society.

That almost hits too close to home.
Just ... ugh. Sigh.
There was a 60-something black woman at my old work who had a fairly resigned attitude towards all of this, despite being a pretty involved woman, she figured she lived through Reagan she can get through this.
Note, if you are the contact person for a protester, might want to look up the bail rules for the county of the protest

I really wanted to host folks for the DC march but then I had to go home for visa stuff. And then my flights got me stuck with an overnight layover, so no Ottawa march either. Siiiiiiigh.
I will be in the air over the Pacific or otherwise I'd be at the Seattle march.
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies
I'm on my way to the London March now. I'm heading in from my parent's place which is both middle class and middle of nowhere, and the train is standing room only and filled with protest signs. Awesome. I imagine the turnout will be large.
200+ arrests yesterday in DC. Stay clear of the people in the black masks, please. I'd like it if all of you came back to tell us about it sometime soon.

They tried to bury us. They didn't know that we were seeds. 2018 Midterms. Get your shit together.

Dunno if headed to the DC march, but no wooden sign posts permitted.
Too many vampires?

Same for my wife. Mostly cause all of her staff want to go. Kissed her in bed before leaving this morning.
"Don't get shot at."
"I promise not to get shot at."
"Okay go fight for me."

Consider wearing a (non-threatening) face covering? I was in a hat + face mask all day yesterday.
Not super worried about today, though - it's a non-partisan event.
Alternatively wear a bandanna with a bitchin' vampire skull on it so that in the event riots break out you have the coolest photo ops.
