    This was a hate crime against our Jewish brothers & sisters. Period. The generational trauma caused by gun violence is destroying our humanity. To the families, friends, & survivors - I am with you & will continue to fight to break these destructive cycles of violence.

    What does it say that a day after Donald riled up his cult at the NRA, a guy with a gun goes into a synagogue near San Diego and shoots it up?

    The shooting in San Diego also shows why it’s so important that and treat white nationalism the same way they treated ISIS. America is facing a violent fascist uprising that’s stoked by Trump, tolerated by the GOP, and aided by our tech overlords.
