BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.
The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

there is really no difference between the current administration and having the country run by david duke
On that last post: I genuinely cannot think of any good-faith reason to bar international adoptions from those 39 countries. Under this new ban, consulates will refuse adoption visas for any baby from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, Nigeria, or any of the 39 other countries.

1. President Trump brags about Miriam Adelson donating $250 million (directly and indirectly) to his campaign.
He then brings her up on stage, where she says she spoke to Alan Dershowitz about a legal strategy to get Trump to run for a third term and tells Trump she’s in for another $250 million.

Annual reminder that if you see a menorah in someone’s window, that’s an act of defiance against bigotry and hate. It’s also pride and bravery.
It’s says “a Jew lives here” and that’s both painting a target but also reminding everyone that we still exist and we always will.

When you add this to Judge Matey's similar dissent earlier this year, you can see that there is an emerging strand of thought among the more radical right-wing jurists that would aim to strip basic rights and freedoms from noncitizens. It's not had any success yet, but its adherents are growing.
