Domestic terrorism is real. It's why we conduct lockdown drills for active shooters & bomb threats in our schools. Wanting to dedicate resources to prevent these atrocities should not scare the American people; what should scare them is if we do nothing.

I’m a mom of 3 who is wide awake at 1am & 4am every day pumping to increase breast milk supply for my 1 month old daughter. I, and millions of other parents like me, will never forget how 192 Republicans voted against fixing the baby formula supply issue.

But this is the Pro Life party....
Why did 192 Republicans vote against a $28 million emergency fund to address the baby formula shortage?

Journalism students: this is a good example to bring up when the conversation is about “objectivity” and how we frame people we identify with and how we frame people we DON’T identify with.
Noting that in AP copy, 18-yeear-old Michael Brown was an “18-year old Black man,” while 18-year-old Payton Gendron is a “white teenager.”

Over the last few years they have become much more prominent and much more dangerous with the viral spread of these theories. Social media hashtags like innocuous # savethechildren, were started by QANON members.
