Teeth bared in a rictus meant to resemble a smile. Dead eyes.

I know them well.

I'm just glad they're finally being identified as what they've always been.

it should be "Moms for TAKING AWAY Your Freedom".

Every time - and I do mean EVERY time - there's an opportunity to push the renaming of these people, the corrected labeling of these people, we should do it. We need to start taking EVERY an ANY opportunity to bring truth to labeling. Because "Moms for Freedom" is anything but.
