Toxic masculinity is the greatest threat to our survival as a species. It has been for millennia. We are now at another deadly inflection point with it and those that embrace its hate and destruction. It will kill us all. This is not a drill. That’s it. That’s the message. #toxicmasculinity

As Trump detains immigrant fathers, mothers, and beloved community members, his administration is diverting resources and letting the real criminals run free.
Weapons seizures are down 73%. Narcotics arrests are down 11%. He is not at all going after the “worst of the worst.”
