"What’s striking is that many of the most troubling voter suppression tactics that the U.S. will no longer condemn overseas — strict proof of citizenship and residency requirements, as well as purges of the voter rolls, all targeting disfavored groups — are being kicked into high gear here at home."

I was asked again why I still make Pulse Ribbons. I still make them because we can never forget what happened here.
With no permanent memorial yet in Orlando, I feel that I have to keep making the ribbons to honor The 49.
It is my honor to honor The 49.
9 years and counting.
