Donald Trump surprised the nation and the world last night by winning the presidency of the United States. The people whom he repeatedly insulted have not forgotten his vitriol, but they have not lost hope either. People who are distraught over the election's results are taking to Twitter to encourage one another, share positive takes in the wake of despair, and support those who are afraid for their safety. Here are some of the most raw tweets we saw, including from celebrities and Hillary Clinton herself.

To all my black, latinx, brown, indigenous, disabled, & LGBT+ ppl I love you all. No matter what happens tonight man, we will find a way.

And fight the fight for both the big and the small.
