Men of Texas…American men in “power” (and on the streets, where true American power lives): Quit going after and/or letting other men mess with my sisters’ and nieces’ hard-earned rights. The American female community is not to be raped and pillaged. Grab something else. Y eso va para los compañeros también: Dejen de abusar a […]

Pandemic Peeps-Día 417: Isabel Kenner
Día 417: Después de más de un año de pandemia, por fin tenemos vacunas contra el COVID-19. Lo que no tenemos es un plan global para repartirlas efectivamente y equitativamente. Qué se hace, no?
