100 Women Who Have Stood Up To Trump In His First 100 Days
Even though it feels like it's been well over a century since Donald Trump took the oath of office and officially became the president of the United States, we've only just reached the end of his first 100 days.
In approximately three months, Trump has managed to begin the construction of a border wall between the US and Mexico, issue an executive order that temporarily banned citizens of seven Muslim nations from entering our country and he launched the first ever direct attack against the Syrian government.
He's done plenty more than that since entering the White House back in January, but my post-election anxiety is starting to flare up again, so we can just stop there for now.
If you're feeling like the country is going to absolute shit, there's still a glimmer of hope.
The resistance against Trump has been tireless in reminding us that he and his administration are not normal, and that it's more important than ever to stand up for your rights.
And who's leading that resistance?
