@UrsulaV also, "to improve the quality of debate" as if that's the point of this site, or even something that it has some chance of being decent at

White supremacists committed the largest share of domestic-extremist related killings in 2017.

[Milwaukee Pride @mkepride]

Last night, #Milwaukee sent a powerful message: our #trans family #WontBeErased. We will be more visible and vocal than ever before.

2) state-level activism is often more tractable and immediately actionable
