Is it safe to come out?

That's what Republicans are saying today as most of the marches and rallies have been completed--all successfully. 50,000 in Houston. An around the US, HUNDREDS of thousands, I would think more than a MILLION, marched.

Why comment, when you can see the Houston March in photos! Thanks to IndyMedia Houston for posting these.

PDiddie provides some good thoughts, as well as a link to the Chrons blog, which seems to have been taken over by "conservatives." I'll go further and call them the "conserve our race" crowd.

San Antonio had 18,000 marchers. MYSA's Jaime Castillo had a thoughtful article today.

Even Port Arthur (CD-2) came out! And thousands marched in Amarillo!

Thousands more in El Paso.
