My partner is there...
(I am here, taking care of our grand-daughter). She just posted a bunch of videos of different protests and rallies today...I'll see if I can post some.
Arrgh. Looks like posted straight to Facebook. I don't know if that is possible (or how) to repost, here. But Jill Stein speeches, BLM marches, $15 per hour marches, local Take Back Philly marches, and plenty more. One of our close friends is a delegate; I can't wait to hear how his day has gone.

I hope your partner stays safe
I don't trust the Philly cops to avoid a Chicago '68 scene.
Please help support caucus99percent!
She was in a march that got stopped,
going North, oddly enough, away from the convention center, by a massive cop presence. She and our camera-wielding friend then high-tailed it to their car, and are now ensconced in their hotel room in New Jersey...trying to upload stuff on miserable wifi.

I was filled with hope,
I was filled with hope, smiling with wonder and admiration at these wonderful people rising in peaceful protest at the theft of even the pretence of democracy - up until the final message that (prob. not exact words) 'They're fighting the cops up front.'
But if The People are driven to battling their own public servants in their fight for their inalienable right of democracy and all that this entails in a modern civilization, it will not be by their choice...
Psychopathy is not a political position, whether labeled 'conservatism', 'centrism' or 'left'.
A tin labeled 'coffee' may be a can of worms or pathology identified by a lack of empathy/willingness to harm others to achieve personal desires.
How to post facebook vids.
For reposting facebook videos: the simplest is to click the time stamp underneath the posters name heading, copy the resulting URL, then paste it into your post here. Or just give us the facebook link for that particular post. If the facebook page is public we can all see it, if it is just for friends or friends of friends then you shouldn't be linking anyway.
Also, in an emergency, you can erase the www in the facebook URL and replace it with an an m (m.facebook.... instead of www.facebook) and then find the video and download it and repost. That helps with privacy of the original poster.
