Of course they are. The most racist hateful people on the planet. Ethnic cleansing. #ethniccleansing #racism #hate

It’s insane how the greater majority of humanity has to suffer for the goals of the oligarchs and powerful few. Their insatiable need to hoard resources and power instead of continue building power through global unity may as well be humanity’s undoing. #corruption #abuse

Man fatally struck by apparent stray bullet after sharing New Year's kiss with boyfriend A South Florida man was shot and killed at the start of the new year in Fort Lauderdale, and police are looking into whether he was hit by a stray bullet.

It’s heartbreaking how we have ridiculous state representatives in Florida who would do anything to bring on the dark ages by imposing religiously-driven laws on ridiculous things like porn yet fail at every opportunity to regulate responsibly the use of guns.
