This is not *like* a Nazi rally.

This is a neo-Nazi rally.

Your friends who are Black, Latino, Jewish, women, gay, transgender, union, Muslim, disabled, members of any vulnerable minority, are watching what you do today.

Are you speaking up about this?

I have been enjoying leathercrafting as a way to reduce stress. Fell down a LOT of rabbit holes around types of leather and locating high quality leather stores is a part of that. Check these guys out: https://t.co/NuSuUxm3nY
