There Is A Real Wall...

...In Portland.

There is a real wall in Portland that the actions of Donald J. Trump has built.

And it is made up of Moms dressed in yellow.

It now forms nightly to protect constitutionally protected protesters from Mr. Trump's unconstitutional secret federal police.

Julia Silverman of Portland Monthly has the story:

...By Monday morning, the so-called Wall of Moms, some of them women whose children had been protesting for weeks, were going viral online. The group of mostly white women dressed in yellow and linking arms at the front of the protesters, pledging to use their privilege to protect others in the crowd from the brunt of the harm.


“I got to the breaking point,” says Eloise Hoatlin, a SE Portland fitness coach, student, and mother. She says she had attended only smaller neighborhood protests thus far, wanting to protect her elderly parents, but on Sunday night was at the front of the crowd facing down the police, separated only by the fabled fence in front of the Justice Center. “I can make all the excuses I want to make. It is fear of a lot of things, but what I am most scared of is fear if we don’t do this. It is a numbers game. We need to start coming out in numbers. And I can be one of those numbers.”...


Here they are, in all their peaceful glory:
