The day after Trump re-ascends to the helm of the federal government, the Party Girls team teases out just what collective political wisdom led to a categorically different protest response to Trump’s inauguration this go around. 2017’s inauguration was marked by a massive black bloc protest, but the one this week saw dozens of smaller convergences around the country focused on community-building and activating more localized responses to Trump's deportation machine.</p> <p>What role does journalism actually hold in making the world a better place?
