Trump responded Sunday, undermining the public oppos. ition then defending demonstra- tors’ rights a short time later. “Watched protests yesterday but was under the impression that we just had an election!

But at the march, my cousin said, “I don't know what I expected, It's just so nice not to feel alone.” My cousin is deter mined not to let the Trump presidency disrupt her dreams. She's engaging with it, She has signed up for a newsletter from Shaun King, a reporter and civil rights activist, that alerts her to legislative issues and what she can do about them. All over, Americans are resisting Trump and will continue to resist him. Clearly, this election has been a political awaken- ing for so many. But there's nothing romantic or glori- ‘ous about it The coalition of people who attended this past, weekend's marches face an abyss: denial of climate ‘change, increased restric- tions to a woman’s right to choose, an end to religious freedom and social liberty for Muslims, the denial of citizenship for immigrants, an administration that is brazen in its lies Exhilarating as the ‘march was, the road ahead will be perilous and ex: hausting, ‘All the progress of the Obama presidency — both et in its racial significance and its actual policy mak- ing — is now threatened.
