There are still many fights ahead in 2019. Take, for example, the Violence Against Women Act. It’s been expired 10 days ever since the government shut down. Reauthorizing it must be a priority.pic.twitter.com/eyyGQdPpLd

From 1882 to 1986, Congress failed nearly 200 times to pass anti-lynching legislation and earlier this month, the Senate passed historic legislation to make lynching a federal hate crime.

Know what you mean, I can't turn on the news without having to hear of another lynching. But when are you going to do something about all those people being drawn and quartered?

Yes! With the 1400 lynchings in Chicago every year something must be done. The lynching pandemic must be federally addressed with funding & proclamations!

Hate crime laws are discriminatory and make no sense at all. Why someone kills another doesn't matter if that person is dead. You can't go back and change their intent. Stop wiht the identity politics and just say murder is murder!

This hasn’t anything to do with identity politics. It’s pure evil; it’s pure hate. Study American history and disregard the platitudes.pic.twitter.com/jto5zG08Ei
