Wonder Woman woke up this morning, read the news for five minutes and then started yelling and eventually crying in anger over the fire hose of bullshit coming out of Washington, specifically the attempt to erase women, the sexist part of the sexist/racist fascist inspired anti-diversity movement.
In my heart, I know this is real.
