      I work about 80 hours a week. And I'm married with 5 young kids. And I just finished grad school this week. This notion that those of us fighting against injustice in America are lazy is preposterous. Almost every activist I know works around the clock.

          Probably a paid Russian. They think all Democrats are on welfare. They can’t grasp that some Dems are even part of the 1% financially but are still liberals.

          Shaun, they hate that you are tenacious, brave, eloquent, intelligent and unapologetic. They fear you. Give them no energy and continue your important work. I can't wait to see you in Sacramento! Peace and blessings to you and your family.

          It is truly fascinating that their first line of knee-jerk defense is always “get a job”. But that’s cuz they don’t possess the insight to say: “Find your own subjugated niche and remain mindlessly content perpetuating the ravages of capitalism and white supremacy!”
