The Top 10 Resistance Victories in Trump's First 100 Days

[madokie]

New social movements are making their power felt in ways that would have been unimaginable before Trump took office.

President Donald Trump’s first 100 days will be remembered for the horror of his reckless bombings overseas, his attacks on immigrants, the environment, the Standing Rock Sioux, women, and people of color, and his penchant for choosing billionaires and Wall Street bankers as top officials. But this period will also go down in history for the remarkable popular resistance that has undermined many of Trump’s stated goals for the start of his term.

The true magnitude of this resistance is just starting to become clear. A full 25 percent of Americans, according to a Washington Post poll, say they plan on being “more politically active” this year, and they're already making their collective power felt in ways that none of us could have imagined just 100 days ago.

Here are 10 big wins that can teach us volumes about how to resist and succeed past Trump's first 100 days.

1. The Women’s March changed everything.

The 4-5 million people who took to the streets in over 600 cities on January 21 gave confidence to resistance efforts on multiple fronts, including on Capitol Hill.

5. We are continuing in our district

It's not just Trump - it's our member of the House.

A little wind at our backs when Booker appeared on Maddow on Wednesday and gave a shout out to us. He said it's helping - and we need to keep it up. Don't lose the energy.

We are lucky that both of our Senators are Democratics - and I feel like they are 'there' for those of us in Districts in NJ that have Republican representation.
