Dear Mr. Trump, You Won't Silence Us

But you will try.

Dear Mr. Trump,

Please note that I’m not referring to you as Mr. President

Because you are not my President now, nor will you be so for the next 4 years

I can’t argue that you didn’t win the position, and I can’t say that you weren’t inaugurated as the 45th POTUS

But I’m not going to give you the respect of that title. Respect is earned, and you’ve earned none of mine

You don’t respect my rights, so I won’t respect you as a person

I don’t wish you to fail for our country, because I’m still living here, but I hope that we can fight every all-right bill your administration tries to pass.

No, we do not need a wall, immigrants aren’t stealing jobs, companies are taking advantage of migrant workers that they can pay less than minimum wage

No, we don’t need conversion therapy, though your VP would disagree

When you say you’re going to put America first before anything else, we know what you mean

Your America is full of rich, white, straight, cis-gendered men, their businesses, and their families.

In that order.

How can we expect you to care about a country when all you care about is yourself?

You, a rapist, racist, xenophobic, sexist, homophobic, pathological liar.

Someone who can’t even handle criticism, or who can’t handle the truth?

People share photo’s of your inauguration, but your administration states the media was lying? Again.

You can’t force your propaganda down our throats and expect us to take it as fact. You’re calling the media swine, bitches, bimbo’s, disgusting, so you can push your rhetoric on your voters.

You state that you want people to come to you for the “facts” because you can’t handle someone calling you out on your lies.

You say that Washington is corrupt, but you and your administration are now Washington? You’re not a part of the people, you’re part of the problem.

We’re going to be here, opposing you all the way. We’re here to fight you. 2.9 billion people gathered to protest you and your administration. The largest protest in US history.

You can’t divide us, you can’t destroy us, you can’t lie to us, you can’t convince us, you can’t dismiss us.



You won’t silence us.

For the average 20-something, life moves pretty fast. You’ve got classes, friends, relationships, jobs, family, and whatever else we overcommit ourselves with. I probably should have learned to say no to adding more to my schedule a long time ago, but instead here are 11 things that can be more helpful than coffee.

Resting b***h face. Defined as a person, usually a girl, who naturally looks mean when her face is expressionless, without meaning to. Many of you suffer from this "condition." You are commonly asked what's wrong, when nothing is. What people don't know is that is just your facial expression. Here are some things they wish you knew.

College students, you might be able to relate to this one. These probably sound familiar because we often tell ourselves these phrases; however, we are unable to follow or agree with these the following, deep down inside of our overwhelmed, tired minds.

1. "No more spending money on useless things"

Until you walk into a 99 cents store and suddenly have the urge to pick up anything that's less than a dollar.
