It’s time to celebrate 100 days. Not 100 days of Donald Trump—there’s nothing about that worthy of celebrating, not even for Trump supporters. No, it’s time to celebrate 100 days of accomplishment and rebirth. Of growing energy, building hope, fighting back, rising up. One hundred days of marching. One hundred days of protesting. One hundred days of organizing. One hundred days of looking to the future. One hundred days of learning from the past. One hundred days of keeping hope alive. One hundred days of never giving up.
One hundred days of resistance to Donald Trump.
Donald Trump lost the popular vote. His electoral victory came with fewer people than can be seated in many stadiums. And yet the whole idea of Trump, the idea that someone could run for president on the basis of overt racism and sexism. That someone could make an appeal to the nation based on the most extreme form of xenophobia. That someone would seek the nation’s top office in a muddle of ugly threats and blatant ignorance. That someone like that might win … it might have been expected to rip the heart from the whole progressive movement. To send the American left down in despair. Surely the white nationalist forces that supported Donald Trump must have looked forward to that.
It didn’t happen that way. What happened was the Women’s March. What happened was airport protests over Donald Trump’s ban on travel from Muslim countries. What happened was an energy that ran from the National Mall to the sixth district of Georgia—a rising wind that’s still rising.
Here is why the first 100 days of Donald Trump’s regime are legitimately worth a celebration. MORE DETAILS and with PHOTOS Jan. 20 thru April 19
