Well, America, here we are: Donald Trump is going to be our next president.

The overall reaction to the news has been polarizing. Specifically, Trump’s win has been particularly upsetting for women and people of color.

On social media, people have highlighted episodes of hate speech or hate crimes that have cropped up in the hours since the election, describing what it’s like on “Day 1 in Trump’s America.”

Here’s what’s happening:

I've gotten about a hundred of these today. Kids as young as kindergarteners are being harassed today and told they'll be deported. pic.twitter.com/I4rxCtTZDL
