We have gender crisis in America and frankly throughout world. The name of it is men. They are committing all the rapes, almost all the murders. At increasing levels, they’re ignorant, insecure and violent. We’ve done poor job raising men. Love is not feminine. It’s fundamentally human.

I feel sick to my stomach waiting around to see what atrocity Trump has in mind for the people of Iran this evening. It's hard to fathom our other elected leaders aren't able to check him in any meaningful way. It's an indictment not just of voters but of our whole system. We're ruled by a mad king.

Bad idea. ICE is pre-funded by the BBB. Also, CBP is just as bad if not worse and also pre-funded by the BBB. Severing ICE gives away any leverage we have to shut down the rest of DHS. We should be demanding to defund ICE/CBP of its BBB money and shut down ALL of DHS if they don’t agree.
