President-Elect Donald J. Trump is sworn in as the 45th President of the United States.

Do you remember where you were and what you were feeling when Donald Trump became the 45th US President?

Where were you for this terrifying moment?

At work? In class? On your way to DC (or another large urban liberal bastion) to protest?

How did you feel?

Scared? Angry? Frustrated? Disappointed? Apprehensive? Who were you with? What about them?

Fix this moment in your mind and heart forever.

Remember what this feels like. The pain, frustration, fear — all of the negative emotion. Imprint it in your memory. Do not ever forget this.

Commit to preventing anything like this from ever happening again.

There are no excuses. This is on us.

“Change only happens when ordinary people get involved, get engaged, and come together to demand it.” -President Barack Obama (Farewell Address, Jan. 10, 2017)
