Tweets on Transition Day

On Jan. 20, 2017, Donald Trump was sworn in as  the 45th president of the United States. The new administration, along with a Republican-dominated House of Representatives and Senate, are threatening to gut many social programs so vital to so many people in our land. The cuts also threaten foreign assistance to vulnerable people around the world. Many groups are vowing to fight the cuts, rallying their supporters via social media. Here are a few messages on Twitter.
