NOTABLE QUOTE OF THE DAY ([link removed])
“There are always liberal voters in rural, conservative areas — and conservative ones in big cities — but a protest is a public display that can help shift the conversation by allowing people in the political minority to see they are not alone, empowering them and sometimes connecting them into a loose community.”
– Andrew Seidman and Jonathan Lai, _The Philadelphia Inquirer_
