This pisses me off as much as almost everything. My home is diverse and amazing.
Trump falsely says Aurora 'buckled,' 'destroyed' by immigrants, gangs; promises unrelenting action' for US change https://t.co/N6kwzhOoDP via @SentinelColo
Protests outside the Treasury today looked real good, too. Lots of regular people upset at the government. No big symbolism beyond that. I think our protest movements, if aimed at being effective, should be as non-symbolic or partisan as possible.

My youngest is convinced that her hair is curly because it is frizzy. She says that people with frizzy hair are just not treating their hair right. I believe that is true for SOME people...but people who have frizzy hair that isn't curly don't post their videos online.
Overall, this community was exploited by Aurora Mayor @AuroraMayorMike & @DaniJurinsky for political gain to support @realDonaldTrump this November. These apartment complexes aren’t being taken over by gangs, they have been exploited by a slumlord who is forcing these individuals to live in inhumane conditions.
