January 20 was a day met with disbelief and excitement, anticipation and uncertainty. Not only did it mark the first day of the next four years under  President Trump, but it also set off a series of peculiar political happenings around the country. Here’s what you missed over the Inauguration Weekend. 

Hell Hath No Fury Like a Nasty Woman

Arriving by plane, train or automobile, hundreds of thousands of women made their way to Washington D.C. for the Women’s March to protest Donald Trump taking presidential office and the racist, sexist, bigoted rhetoric that he may bring with him into the White House. In a fierce display of unity, the ladies took to the National Mall and streets of D.C., armed with vibrant witty signs highlighting the views that matter most: equality and kindness for all, concern for our planet and the right to make decisions regarding one’s own sexual health. For those unable to make it to the main event, they simply staged protests in their own hometowns across the nation, like Los Angeles, Denver, New York and Boston to name a few places.

A slew of famous faces took part in the Women’s March, from Joseph Gordon-Levitt to Madonna, who courageously dropped a couple f-bombs during her speech to get her point across. Ashley Judd recited a fantastic poem written by a teenage girl, and Amy Schumer, Debra Messing, Charlize Theron and more marched alongside their fellow woman. Hillary Clinton, though she could not actively participate in the marches due to her respectful decision to attend Trump’s inauguration (where she received a standing ovation), tweeted out words of praise. In a show of solidarity across the globe, women in the UK, Amsterdam -- even Antarctica -- donned their pink, knitted pussy hats and posters explaining why they chose to join such an important cause, letting everyone involved in the movement know that they are supported.
