The sad thing is why it should matter at all

And the only reason it matters is in America with more than half the country I’m afraid to say and the mass media it is acceptable that there will be 500 separate mass shootings by white male MAGA types, as long as there’s only one by a trans or gay person.

And allegedly we had our one recently before this shooting, so the entire community of trans, gay, liberal Democrats, progressive or anyone who opposes MAGA will now be targeted by them by this government for death, imprisonment or deportation.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.

Tell me more...
