The day I finally left my husband, he had me up against a wall, screaming & swearing at me. I looked over his shoulder and saw the terror in the eyes of our 4-yr-old daughter. I walked around him, picked her up,& left. I never went back. Vance is a fool.

@StevijoPayne You give me hope! By the way, a friend (who lives in Singapore) posted this picture on Facebook. I replied with “that’s Stevie Joe Payne!” and I told her about how you have been courageously standing up for human rights in a red state. So your message is getting out there.😊

@mmpadellan Who could possibly ever think George W. Bush is a “profile in courage”? His roots go deep in the oligarchy, he is not a patriot, he is just another rich white guy smugly satisfied with his position in the universe, who actually believes he worked hard for everything he has.

I don’t care what polls say. If activists only supported what was popular at the time then nothing would’ve ever changed in America. Civil rights weren’t popular. Gay marriage wasn’t popular. Activism is not about fighting for what’s popular. It’s about fighting for what’s right.
