“Our First 100 Days” is an anti-President Donald Trump project. The good folks behind the “30 Days, 30 Songs” anti-Trump campaign during the election teamed up with Secretly Group for “Our First 100 Days.” They have been releasing a new song every day during the first 100 days of Trump’s presidency. Those 100 days ended on Saturday and the final “Our First 100 Days” addition was from Phosphorescent, who contributed a cover of Woody Guthrie’s much-covered classic “This Land Is Your Land.” Listen below.

“Our First 100 Days” launched on inauguration day with a new Angel Olsen song, “Fly on Your Wall.” Since then there have been songs by PWR BTTM (“Vacation”), Animal Collective’s Avey Tare (“Visit the Dojo,” a demo from his Avey Tare’s Slasher Flicks project), Jason Molina (the previously unreleased “Royko”), Women (“Group Transport Hall (Alternate Version)”), Suuns (“Native Tongue”), Tilman Robinson and Luke Howard (“Requiem for 2016”), Meat Wave (“Dogs At Night”), S.
