Reactions to President-Elect Trump, From Vladimir Putin to Gloria Steinem

“When Nixon was elected—which happened after Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King were murdered—I thought cold and distant white men were going to be in office for a long time, and they were. But we have to remember that real change always happens not from the top but from the bottom, just like a tree. So I want women not to mourn, but to organize. And to remember that women are just going to do it anyway and make change on our own behalves the way we’ve always done it, without being the president in the White House.” —Gloria Steinem

“Whether you are pleased or disappointed by the outcome, we each still have a choice. Today and every day, we have a choice in how we treat one another in our homes, in our neighborhoods, and of course in our stores.” —Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz
