And although the OP didn't say so, I will: all white people who grew up in our society are racist, to various degrees. Figuring out how & why & working to correct it in ourselves is the work of a lifetime.

You might want to look up the definition and usage of "y'all" and "you all" (of which "y'all" is a contraction). Of course, it doesn't support your narrative, so you won't.

Wtf is wrong with you?! I'm a senior on a fixed income, & I started getting prepared when he was elected the first time; I knew he would do stupid stuff. I ramped up when we first heard about Covid, & have just been rotating supplies since. After he was re-elected, I doubled down on prepping.

A 6-year-old with leukemia missed his doctor’s appointment after ICE arrested his mom, sister & him at immigration court. They've now spent nearly a month detained, as his mother watches his health worsen in the Dilley facility, per a lawsuit. Appalling! #MeltICE

“YOU hit HER.”

CHICAGO - Trump’s ICE goons ram into a passing car after snatching someone, then brutally drag the female driver of the car they hit out of her car with guns drawn and arrest her too. (Her brother says she’s a citizen)

White House claims "more than 1,000%" rise in assaults on ICE agents, data says otherwise

Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers claim assaults on their officers are up sharply since June. There's no public evidence that number is true.

I would like to be granted blanket immunity from lawsuits including, but not limited to, choking nazis the fuck out, disabling ice vehicles with extreme prejudice, and punching clueless politicians in the fucking throat.
I'm not saying I'm doing, or would do, those things, but Imma need immmunity...

The nation’s largest private prison company is asking the Supreme Court to give federal contractors blanket immunity from lawsuits — including human trafficking claims.

If they win, private contractors could operate with even less accountability than they do now.

The Human Trafficking Case That Could Hand Government Contractors Blanket Immunity

In a little-noticed Supreme Court case, the country’s largest private prison operator argues companies should be shielded from lawsuits when doing the government’s dirty work.

They are potatoes. Look it up. But yes, potatoes have to be dug, and there's nothing in the painting that looks like the fairly sizeable holes left when digging potatoes, which are filled in as the potatoes are gathered up.

I know Mike Johnson says there is nothing for the House to do but there is.

You see by law a budget was supposed to be in place by Sept 30th, but Rs haven’t passed one. The reason? There isn’t a GOP budget. They haven’t even started working on one. This is what the House should be doing FFS!

This is a dark moment for the American justice system and our democracy. I have worked alongside Letitia James for seven years. She is as tough and as fair as it gets, and a leader amongst attorneys general on both sides of the aisle. I stand with her unequivocally in this moment.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.
