I feel depressed.
It’s been rough and you have a right to feel the way you do.

Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

I hope everyone realizes that scrubbing historical references from web sites is no different than burning books

When right-wing scum tried to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer, Republicans made excuses.

When a lunatic beat Paul Pelosi with a hammer, they made jokes.

And when Trump sent a mob to attack the Capitol, they made up lies.

Don’t lecture us about condemning violence.
