She probably should have impressed this upon Kavanaugh before he issued an opinion endorsing what are now known as β€œKavanaugh stops.”

The GOP doesn't think these kids are worth a damn.

Trump and his Republican lackeys keep getting richer while gleefully harming every American they can.

Disgusting.

11 October 1933 | A Polish Jewish girl, Berthe Zlotnik, was born in BΔ™dzin. She emigrated to France.

In August 1942 she was deported to #Auschwitz from #Drancy with her mother Sarah, her sisters Jeanine & Yvette and her brother Jacques. All were murdered in a gas chamber.

Text that reads:

impelled to mention one other point in your statement that has troubled me profoundly. You warmly commended the Birmingham police force for keeping "order" and "preventing violence." I doubt that you would have so warmly commended the police force if you had seen its dogs sinking their teeth into unarmed, nonviolent Negroes. I doubt that you would so quickly commend the policemen if you were to observe their ugly and inhumane treatment of Negroes here in the city jail; if you were to watch them push and curse old Negro women and young Negro girls; if you were to see them slap and kick old Negro men and young boys; if you were to observe them, as they did on two occasions, refuse to give us food because we wanted to sing our grace together. I cannot join you in your praise of the Birmingham police department.

Black and white photo of two police dogs attacking a Black teen as a cop holds the teens upper shirt and sweater. One dog lunges and bites at the teen's abdomen.

I wonder where ICE got their tactics from.

Just a typical minor inconvenience of a Kavanaugh stop. SCOTUS has abandoned the Bill of Rights.

All they do is come up with empty catchphrases like "Trump Derangement Syndrome" to roll out when anyone disagrees with them and that have nothing to do with reality.

It's so trite.

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law.

They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.
