A red-hat man calling a woman "woke" is just his way of saying "she's too smart for me to manipulate."

Happy Indigenous Peoples' Day. May this day serve as a reminder to venerate those who were here before us, and continue to condemn the damage caused by colonization that continues today.

Thank you so much for shining a light on the actual and entire truth about mass shootings and shooters. Yes, the majority of these cases are DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CASES. The abuser loses control of the victim/s and goes on a revenge-based shooting spree. Please keep up your very important work!

Thanks to Trump, China & all our other adversaries will have it much easier. 1/4 of the FBI agents have been ordered to work on getting rid of brown-skinned people.
We don't have to look back very far to see what happened when the Bush Administration took their eyes off the ball. Cakewalk for ObL.

The President using the military as his personal police force to intimidate American citizens is deeply un-American. This is the behavior of an autocrat. Full stop.
