Donald
J. Trump has been President of the United States for a little over two weeks
now, and I’m still struggling with how I should respond to that news. On
Election Night, when it became clear what we had elected, I lost sleep
trying to figure out an appropriate response. I thought of contributing money
to different causes, like the Southern Poverty Law Center, or Planned
Parenthood. I thought of supporting the free press by getting a subscription to
the New York Times, or the Washington Post. I haven’t done either of those
things yet, but the Trump presidency is still young. I’m keeping my powder dry.
I
didn’t think at all about participating in any marches or protests, but that’s
the first thing that I’ve actually committed to do. I’ll be marching on April
22nd, which is also Earth Day, as part of the March for Science.
