In the same 24 hours, scotus made abortion illegal in half the country and the Senate of the largest, most "progressive" state in the Union confirmed that yes, they would like to keep prison slavery in place. That's sitting heavy with me today. #ACA3 #RoeVsWade #EndTheException

Robert Crimo III: Fatally shoots 6 innocent people, injures dozens more, and is taken into police custody without incident. Jayland Walker: Kills NO ONE and is shot 60 times by 8 Akron (OH) police officers. #TwoAmericas
