@ClintBarton Republicans have gerrymandered some state maps to the point that they are ordered now to redraw maps constantly because they violate the Voting Rights Act. There's a clear and present danger where many are being disenfranchised.

Like this in Georgia a couple of years ago. This needs corrected.

He has belatedly announced his intention to #BanAssaultWeapons . How many more ‘well-placed’ #MassShootings will it take to get #CommonSenseGunLaws in the bloody🩸 #USA ?

Instructions for living a life: Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it. - Mary Oliver

The new speaker of the house thinks abortion should be illegal so that women produce more “able bodied workers.” Because that’s all women are good for, right?

Emmett Till's mother galvanized the civil rights movement by insisting on an open-casket funeral, so that the world would see with their own eyes what evil was wrought on her son.

AR-15s will never be banned in U.S. unless and until the families of mass murder victims insist on publication of the gruesome crime scene photos.

It will take great courage to make such a decision, and I thank God I'm not in a position to make one like that. But that's the ONLY thing that will work.

Honest Question: Can the judge's fines be spent on, say, wounded veterans or homeless immigrants? You know: Something that'd really piss off the defendant.
