"These people are bullies. They’re classic schoolyard bullies. They talk tough and they act tough until someone punches them in the nose and then they go running to teacher. I have no problem, metaphorically speaking, punching them in the nose. It needs to happen".

@@sherryjannusch6296 "I know you are, but what am I?" is always the right's go-to insult. It's also the bully's. You're all fists, with not a shred of imagination or intellect, an understanding of the difference between right and wrong, or a hint of self-awareness.

I LOVE THIS GUY!!! He expresses my sentiments about T-Rumps Party exactly as I feel! School yard bully tactics is what they are using but also they have resorted to embracing open lying backed up with amnesia when questioned about their actions and sayings.

❤Don Winslow is an amazing writer and fighter for justice. I met him at Barnes and Noble in Sarasota Florida. ❤

[@debbycastellitto6659]

I have a new hero. I just heard a brief interview on his newest book this morning and it is plain his main job now is to make sure Trump is not elected come November. Some people take Trump’s threat to our democracy very seriously. I’m one and I’m so thrilled Mr. Winslow does too.

I hope you will stand up for women's rights. When I worked at UNLV in the 1970's, we had the ERA "discussions" at the university where people came to give their opinions to the visiting state legislature members. Busload after busload of Morman women and their husbands rolled up to the hearings. They completely dominated the proceedings; their voices were the only ones heard because they so loudly protested the right of any woman to have autonomy over her life. Nevada was, of course, one of the states that voted against the ERA. As I speak now, no woman has equal rights. Until we do, we will not really have any rights over our bodies or anything that affects our lives.

🤠wants your land too💙 Gloria Steinem hasn't given up. I don't understand 🟥 female legislators in my state. Vote YOUR interests, for a change. Banana Republics are UGLY.

Youngsters have to realize the humanitarian and civil rights movement of the 1960s and '70s, that's how far back the pendulum has swung. Thanks for your testimony.🌈💚💕💙

[@markoshea6833]

Maybe you are an idealist, but many are not. To many: feminism equals a second income. Can you be a breadwinner? That, is what a man is. I am fully convinced that feminism was a con-job. No women do traditional jobs, that people pay for. It's a country full of social workers and government office bunnies. Ireland is, anyway.

[@markoshea6833]

I am just about not confused by your comment. Via con Dios.

[@debbycastellitto6659]

The religious right has persistently been against women’s rights. They’ve won for now so we have to be more persistent. We have to bring young women and young men into this fight with us. They have strength to get rights back! If Trump wins the fight will be all but lost. Once in power he will become the first dictator of these United States

Mr. Don Winslow, Please do what you can to make sure Donald Trump will not be in the WH again. America is better without Donald J. Trump.

Don't think he'll make it. But damage may take generations to overcome this insane Red Wave🟥🛑 I miss voting Republican💔only one party of values LEFT🔵

[@kdani11307982]

I think the first thing that needs to happen is that Merrick garland in the DOJ needs to be cleaned out or purged of all the Trump cult members. These people need to be prosecuted and in prison for the rest of their lives and sadly many of them are still holding office and not one has been held accountable let alone have any consequences at all. I hope this man helps but I think it’s a bit too late.

[@jannichi6431]

Thank you Mr. Winslow for being more relevant than EVER! NYTimes, books and movies. Saw you with Stephanie, MSNBC. So many share frustration of Jan6 Zero Consequence while democracy goes to Authoritarianism in Nov, 2022.💙✌️👍
