This is kind of a ridiculous take on many levels. Her daughter came out against voting for the deal to end the shut down. And I would never want to be judged on my parentsโ€™ politics. People arenโ€™t always just products of their upbringing. They do have agency.

With a โ€œWOW!,โ€ President Trump posts a claim about DOGE and โ€œroyalties linked to Obamacareโ€ that originated on a satirical website. That siteโ€™s own About section reads: โ€œEverything on this website is fictionโ€ฆ If you believe that it is real, you should have your head examined.โ€

This is absolutely horrific. And of course the state sweeps it all under the rug.

11Alive news headline: "Woman sits in car for 14 hours to get food during New Birth Baptist church food giveaway

More than 2,000 people waited in their cars in line Saturday morning in order to receive food."

11Alive news headline: "Woman sits in car for 14 hours to get food during New Birth Baptist church food giveaway More than 2,000 people waited in their cars in line Saturday morning in order to receive food."

Here in Atlanta yesterday, more than 2,000 people waited in their carsโ€”one woman for 14 hoursโ€”for a box of food. The giveaway ended early; there wasn't enough to go around.

Multiply this scene by countless others across the country, and you get a sense of how crushing the desperation is right now.

Thatโ€™s the worst thing about the majority of his supporters, and frankly, one of the things I dislike most about living in this country. Thereโ€™s so many people here that think that there are people who are less than them should suffer. But once THEY themselves suffer, all bets are offโ€ฆ.

Sociologist here. I read it. The so-called โ€œdogmaโ€ is not even really discussed. It mentions he read Fanon and that he had a professor challenge the โ€œbroken windowsโ€ theory of crime. It mostly focused on a report by conservative group who trashed Bowdoin for being too liberal. A pointless article.

This is a VERY well crafted lawsuit.
1) Plaintiff is natural born.
2) He was detained 2X in a fast-growing part of Alabama, not in a city that Brett Kavanaugh could be easily duped into believing was all migrants.
3) Unwarranted detentions were on private property.
4) He showed Real ID both times.
