Horrific violence in the US doesn’t surprise me. It never has. Considering Indigenous land theft, Japanese internment, slavery/Jim Crow, anti-union attacks, incessant military conflict, and more shows us this is a violent nation, typically by guns…

… a tyrannical minority sees fit to continue laws that were often initially passed to legitimate the fear and greed of previous generations, passed on to new generations. What we should be surprised about is how normalized this has all become and the affront to democracy it is✊🏾

Our officials really need to be held accountable, especially SCOTUS justices who are so close to an attack on the Constitution. Hell, the bar for the appearance of impropriety is higher on #LawandOrder!

I guess most people forgot that many of the framers were not Christians. The ones we all know: Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, Madison and Monroe—practiced a faith called Deism, a philosophical belief in human reason as a reliable means of solving social and political problems.

I can no longer support #KanyeWest. His comments on #alexjonesshow were abhorrent. #Ye everyone is capable of good and bad but what happens when our bad deeds outweigh the good. Making a mic and highways is not much compared to killing millions of Jews, Blacks, gays, and others.
