I'm just gonna say this: I wish this weekend's Nazi march in my beloved city weren't happening. But I appreciate that my city belongs to the whole country & the Constitution says everyone gets to come here and say their piece, even if they don't let us have a Rep in Congress. 1/ My city is majority-minority; I'm proud of its history & diversity & pluralism, even with all its flaws & inadequacies. I know those Nazis are coming here not just because it's the nation's capital, but because my city represents what they hate and fear. 2/
