We now live in a world where "alternative facts" is an official thing. The Trump presidency has been desperately trying to make us all more stupid with the lies, the spins, the fake news on a daily basis. We resist because our younglings cannot forget that science and facts matter, just as the popular vote matters. We can't be made to believe that the almost 3 million votes to Hillary didn't happen. We are the majority. We matter. We fight because clean water and clean air matter.

The message is simple: LET ME VOTE, LET YOU VOTE, LET US VOTE. The Constitution guarantees us our right to vote as American citizens, but voter suppression has come in so many forms for so many years now--preventing us from participating in what is supposed to be a democratic society. It has cost us one of the most important elections of our generation. We now wake up every morning to the nightmare that is the Trump presidency. The most egregious violation against our voting rights this past election was when the Electoral College robbed us of our votes. Almost 3 million more votes went to Hillary, but somehow 538 special people had more say who won the election. Voter suppression must stop. The Electoral College must go. Le...

The devastating loss, on November 8th, for America and the world caused deep sadness and despair in me. The traumatic first two days made me feel completely lost, but a few things sparked some hope; one of them was Bill Maher saying that America needs us, and together we can be The Resistance. Over 61 million of us are hurting together, will be fighting together, and I wanted something to show that togetherness as we fight for the beautiful, loving America that we've seen throughout history. Resist hate and everything that the new president and his allies will inflict upon us. Keep the resistance going until America is bright and shiny in the world again.
