about that inauguration…

Charlene @ 9:29 pm

I’ve heard there’s some unprecedented stuff going on – Bonnie tells me people have like a 3-hour break off work to watch the inauguration and places all over campus will have things set up to watch. It also sounds like a bunch of people are getting themselves to DC, or having viewing parties, or even, as I’ve heard in Baltimore, students are getting the day off.

This sounds super exciting and I sure wish I could be participating in it. Maybe things are moving toward an upswing. I read this article here about Native folks and the inauguration, and the comments section is really interesting too.

What are you all out there doing specifically for the big day?

A good post summarizing (and showing) front pages worldwide with what I assume are translations:
