The simple fact of the world is that the vast majority of mass shooters fit a fairly basic profile: Cishet white men with right leaning but completely incomprehensible politics, bigoted in ways that don't super make sense and driven mostly by delusions of grandeur and petty slights.

We have gone from the margin of error to the margin of effort.
On the day before the election, we stand on the verge of toppling a political dynasty and winning a city we can afford. But we can only do it with you.

There's no saving this system. It's too thoroughly corrupted. We need to tear down the current constitutional order and begin again.

No one experiencing the tragedy of a miscarriage should be arrested, much less abandoned in jail for 5 months with a $100k bond. But that’s exactly what happened to Mallori Patrice Strait in Texas. Women, particularly women of color, in this country are no longer allowed dignity even in extreme loss

House GOP is holding a hearing on their tax bill at 1:00 AM because they don't want us to know about their scheme to strip 13.7 million people of health coverage & they think no one will stay awake for it.
