The "men who crave pride and battle shame."
My goal is to spread kindness as the antidote to the unkind society we continue to be. Hopefully, these words will remind me and you to be kinder to others and ourselves. COMMUNITY IS OUR IMMUNITY. Pro-Democracy.

🧵Class wars & rebellion are tales as old as time. The "Haves" will always exploit the labors of the "Have Nots," when given the chance. But, when workers organize behind just causes, they prove - time and again - that the demands of the righteous *many* are more powerful than those of a greedy few.

I was thinking about this. A commonality among Republicans is to marry right out of HS and start a family. The man is typically 18, 19, or 20 and the girl can be 14 or 15 when they meet (freshmen age). In their mind, 14, 15, 16, & 17 y.o. girls are women. That's why they don't care about Epstein.
