    Today I’m an #AdultRecoveringAsshole. It took me until #Trayvon’s murder and #SandyHook to see that #AssaultRifles,#Handguns and my once-beloved #NRA were not making anybody safer. #SYG #StandYourGround laws let a White start a fistfight, end it with a gun, murder a POC and claim #SelfDefense.

    The NRA is the #StochasticTerror arm of the #FSB, inciting racial violence to destabilize Democracy. A cop’s badge is a BIPOC hunting license.

    #Woke now. I am so so sorry I took so long.
