These Are Not Your Father’s Democrats
Some are left, some aren’t. But what they have in common is that they are ready to rumble. It’s the Democratic Tea Party, with a twist.

What is violence?
Is it tossing a tear gas canister back to the mercenaries who shot it at you?
Is it blowing a whistle at bounty hunters who are trying to abduct someone?
Perhaps, rather than asking whether an action is "violent," we should ask—
Does it perpetrate oppression? Or interrupt it?
