Maybe it's time to redefine terrorism. 5/
This thread has gotten away from me but I would like to add that my original tweet was meant to include single event mass murders like Toronto's on Monday. But any conversation about this needs to include Robert Pickton, who targeted sex workers, & the ongoing horror of MMIW. 6/
The @APTN is a good resource to learn more about MMIW. aptn.ca/taken/
