"Lived alone with her dog, Violet".... [View all]

How poignant a detail that hits me really hard...

And yet the horrific Nazi cretins posted on the now (all too temporarily) defunct StormFront that Heather Heyer's life was worth nothing because she was "obese and not married and had no children"...

Please don't forget that these monsters are not only horrific racists, anti-Semites, anti-immigrants, anti-LGBTQ, anti-democracy--but also the most raging and despicable adherents of misogyny there are in this country.
