Apologies.

I posted a revised version on my Facebook page this morning:

Here's what: No more wars based on lies, no more torture, no more bloated "defense" spending, protect the environment, spare us your fossil fuels and pipelines already, fuck fracking, fund education, fund Social Security, fund Medicare and Medicaid, put a steel-toe boot-stomp to the deranged assault on all things female, amnesty for the immigrants who pick the fruit you eat at breakfast, regulate the finance industry so far up their asses that the bump on their throat is the nose of the regulator, put the Wall Street/Banker thieves in prison, pave the roads, fix the bridges, and everyone deserves a damn job. Oh, P.S. Stop shooting unarmed Black men for no reason, put the tanks away, actually protect and serve, and while you're at it, dismantle the prison "industry."
