My note: Americans need to understand that this public execution could prove to be a trial run for further public executions of those deemed to be "enemies of the State" by the Trump Administration if there is not a Democratic landslide in Congress to curtail Trump for the next two years.

A relative of mine works in a restaurant here in County Down, Northern Ireland. We get a lot of Americans here to play golf. Two weeks ago, one of her colleagues was serving a large group of Americans golfers (all men). She’s in her very early 20s and has red hair.

In America—and, therefore in the rest of the world—unless you are a special case, consent isn’t on the menu.

There’s something to defend here, in this predator’s paradise, and, at last—at long last—I would like that something to be the victims, not the predators.

Just another KKKoincidence. There are hundreds of them, or thousands; any individual one of which has plausible deniability, so f you think there’s anything to any of them YOU’RE the crazy one.

Since Republicans are fans of both Nazism and camps I presume this is an endorsement ... no? Hm. How strange.

They’re live-streaming the execution of the person they think they can get away with doing that to first. It’s a test. If they can do that, they’ll expand the margins of permission.

You've heard of systemic racism, when institutions and policies, not just individuals, create unequal outcomes by race.

There's also systemic rapism (I made this up), where a culture normalizes and excuses sexual assault.
