He Will NOT Divide Us

In times like these we must stand together and fight against the injustices.

He Will NOT Divide Us
Business Insider

It's only been about a few weeks since Trump stepped into office, and he's already messing things up. If you don't think that, then you are probably just as blind as he is. Don't believe me? Then let me explain it to you in the clearest way possible.

First, he green-lighted the Dakota Access and Keystone pipelines. The executive orders that Trump signed will benefit oil pipelines. He reinstated the anti-abortion gag rule, and because of this it will increase unsafe abortions around the world (THANKS TRUMP!!!!!). His stupid wall idea that literally no one wants to pay for. Money that can be used in other more important areas like children and veterans healthcare, but Trump is for the people right? The EPA had to take it's website page on climate change down. And my personally favorite, Trumps ban on Muslims.

After all of this and much more, do you really believe he is a suitable President? If anything, he reminds me more of a dictator than an actual President. What would banning Muslims do? Most if not all cases of terror attacks have been made by US RESIDENTS OR CITIZENS. Shocking I know. And if we're banning a group of people because of the religion why don't we ban Christians? The KKK were all Christians and they caused a lot of terror to our country, but right the KKK aren't terrorists... they're white.

Now more than ever our country is separated. It's a constant battle between Trump supporters and those who hate every word he says. There are those who protest and fight for the rights of others, and there are those who believe protestors are "cry babies in need of a safe space", but you know what, I say protest till someone listens. Just because Donald Trump is the President, doesn't mean I have to listen or bow down to him. He isn't a god. Fight against every single injustice that comes from his cabinet. Fight for the rights of immigrants, people with no healthcare, minorities, women, Muslims, and the LGBTQ+ Community. Fight for those who need you most and prove to Trump and the world that he will NOT divide us. We were a country built on protests and fighting back, and if we have to do it again, then we will.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
