This violence has seemingly touched most of us by now.

If it isn’t you, then it’s someone you know (or multiple people).

Zoe Weissman survived the Parkland shooting. Now she’s at Brown, and it happened again.

I'll say it since no one else is. Erica Kirk on CBS is just gross. Did I want Kirk dead no. Should he be a goddam marter, also no.

He was a podcaster. Not a pillar of our community.

Her playing victim on national TV is just fucking gross.

NEW: Five years of social media history is only a fraction of what the US Government will shortly demand of overseas visitors.

The full requirements will end tourism in the United States.
