Weird how suddenly Anita Hill is in the news again. Only reason to try to get her name out there again is to try to discredit the Supreme Court.
Also that app sounds like a useless garbage place to anonymously libel people.
"Anita Hill pledges to vote for Joe Biden and work with him on gender issues"
Someone needs to tell her about Tara Reade.
According to the ATF,

According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, about 10,500 people are treated for fireworks-related emergencies in the country every year.
In a study about fireworks injuries, shell-and-mortar-style fireworks were named the most dangerous, with a disproportionate amount of injuries to the face, hands and brain.
Twenty-one percent of the patients suffered eye injuries, with two-thirds of those suffering permanent vision loss. Eleven had to have an eye removed. Sixty-one percent of patients suffered hand injuries, with one-third of those requiring some kind of amputation.
Mike Spencer, a pilot from Bowling Green, Kentucky, was vacationing in Montana in 2015 when a shell-and-mortar-style firework he was attempting to set off exploded in its tube instead of rocketing toward the sky. Spencer had been holding the mortar above his head rather than setting it on the ground, dropping in the shell and running away as directed. The mishap turned into a life-altering event, with Spencer suffering catastrophic injuries to both hands. "They were more than burns, they sort of evulsed (or tore off) the skin, the muscle, the bones -- fractured the bones in way where the parts were not reconstructable," said Dr. Brinkley Sandvall, a plastic surgeon at UW Medicine. "They could not be put back on in their normal form because of the severe explosive injury from the shell. Spencer, 50, was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, eventually undergoing 11 different surgeries -- including one that attached a toe to help form a new thumb -- as part of his recovery.
"No fireworks are to be considered safe," said Seattle Fire Lt. Joshua Pearson, who noted that sparklers are responsible for one-fourth of emergency room visits on the Fourth of July. "Even children who are supervised experience significant injury."
