As a survivor, I can't think of a more fitting metaphor than a rapist creating loud noises with planes as a survivor tries to tell her story. I mean... just wow. Nevertheless, she persisted.

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.
I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.
Remind you of anyone?

Is Schumer so clueless that he doesn’t realize he is signing his own exit papers? I cannot see New Yorkers standing for more of his spineless ineffectual bullshit. I hope they are grooming his replacement as we speak. Fuck that guy.
