Meet my newest grand-cat, Dusty, in his #Caturday debut.
Dusty is a rescue from California. Per the foster we adopted from: Their shelters are overrun because of ICE kidnappings; the animals are abandoned.
So many devastating consequences to the evil in our country.

Well, we all see color a tad differently… imagine this is how I learn that I’m color blind😅
It’s not a true red to me, but I’m comfy calling it “reddish”… yes or no, in your opinion?

Anecdotally, I’m not sure of that. My bestie, who is queer and liberal af, was raised Mormon. She has been literally fighting to get her name out of their record books.
Looks like she’s not the only one, even tho, you are right, it is NOT what they should do, dogma wise.

We’ve identified a huge portion of it.. but I think many are still leaving out one demographic.
Why aren’t women, 50% of the population, carrying out close to 50% of mass shootings? (Vets comprise ~26% of mass shooters, 1.8% of them women)
We need to figure out what is poisoning our men.

This is a good article - but I feel it is remiss not to note, SOMEWHERE, that the research on left wing & right wing violence is substantial, has been going on since at LEAST the 90s and is definitive.
We have a right wing, white supremacist problem

You know what, a database would be amazing - SPLC is a great resource, but I feel like they are not in the far, deep, dark corners of the internet, where these things fester.
Sadly, I’m not aware of one - black pillers are very scary, and a fast growing portion of MRA’s per this book I’m reading:
