13. Ours are younger each time

Sun Mar 29, 2026, 02:20 PM

Yesterday

At the first "hands off" it was about 80% 60 yrs and older. Yesterday I would guess the median age at 40. Many younger families bringing young children too.

I had a sign saying we need 67 dem senators to convict and remove after impeachment. A couple of younger folks asked about what that meant. I take that as good news that younger folk are getting seriously engaged to learn how govt functions and get the greedy SOBs removed
