Nothing like coming back to work after a nice, calm weekend, right? I kid — these past few weeks have been totally insane, due to the rollout of Donald Trump's immigration ban, which temporarily prohibits refugees and citizens of seven countries from entering the U.S. As we all saw, the ban caused immediate backlash, with countless people coming together to voice their dissent and protest around the globe, acts that are bound to continue throughout this week.

And believe it or not, the ban isn't the only huge thing that happened this weekend and on Monday. Read on for a recap of all the big news and events that got Bustle's editors talking these past few days.

The SAG Awards + What They Mean

Another Sunday night, another awards show.

Quebec + How To Help

In heartbreaking news, a shooting at a Quebec City mosque late Sunday night left five dead, with several others injured. Although the shooters' motives aren't known, Islamaphobia is unfortunately rampant across the globe, and this particular mosque has been targeted in the past. Here's how to help the Quebec mosque shooting victims after this awful tragedy.

Satire 101: Need a smile after so much terrible news? Over the weekend, Trump's Press Secretary Sean Spicer retweeted an Onion article making fun of him, apparently not understanding what the Onion — or satire — is. LOL.
