Happy Inauguration Day! Welcome to a new era of peace, kindness, and power.
Power to the people, power to the voters. I’m so proud of us.
What a glorious day this is.
As you think about how you plan to be active throughout the Trump Administration, Molly Crabapple’s words are worth considering. How do we create infrastructure that protects and supports those who will be most vulnerable under this administration? How do we create a world in which people like Trump are unelectable? How do we support and magnify the people and institutions who are already doing this work?
Lobbying our representatives and making our voices heard on the streets matter, but we can’t be reliant on big-p politicians to do all of this for us. Even if they wanted to, in their current numbers they can’t.
Let’s frame our resistance broadly and creatively. Read the full article here.

if gaga doesn’t sing this song at the inauguration then what’s the point?
So, Trump’s press secretary’s first official order of business was to slam the press for accurately reporting the size of the crowd for Trump’s inauguration, lie repeatedly in contradiction of all factual and photographic evidence, and refuse to take questions.
Trump said that the media will “pay a big price” for accurately reporting the small size of the crowds.
Oh, and they’re considering evicting the press from the White House.
This is what fascism looks like. This should terrify everyone.
People were led to believe that Trump wrote his eerily nationalistic Inaugural speech after posting this photo on Twitter a few days before the Inauguration:
Butaccording to The Wall Street Journal, Trump’s speech was written by his two aids: Steve Bannon (executive chairman of the extremely right-wing “news” page Breitbart) and Stephen Miller (infamously worked for racist Jeff Sessions who may be appointed for Attorney General).
We can’t trust a word Trump (or his wife) says to the public.
Black Lives Matter shut down the entrance to the inauguration this morning. Follow all the updates at our live blog.
