        I was there-just an incredible moment. Today, hoping everyone remembers why fighting for democracy matters.

        The only time I have ever seen the news being shown on the monitors at a dance club. And people watching the news at a dance club.

        The Great wall of China, The Berlin wall. The DMZ, these are not made to protect democracy yet the ignorant insists that building one in America will some how set a different example.

        To this day I cry each time I remember this day. So much emotion. That wall symbolized so much that was wrong with the world. Unfortunately, much darkness persists, and we must fight it. #FreePeterDouche #Catalanindependence #FirstAmendment

        Outstanding. Remembering curtain shreds fluttering through bricked up windows on Bernauer Strasse, small crosses marked “Unbekannt” on west side of the Spree river. Freedom bridge. Berlin is full of memories.
