In protest of Trump victory, #TwitterBlackOut emerges

In the wake of Tuesday’s news that Donald Trump had won the presidential election, many who did not vote for the Republican president-elect took to the streets—and social media—to protest.

Signs of protest and disruption flooded Twitter’s trending topics. The #TwitterBlackOut movement encouraged users to show support for women, minorities and the LGBTQ community.

Here are a few examples of #TwitterBlackOut tweets:
