#KavanaughStop

Scott Horton @robertscotthorton.bsky.social · 7d

An arrest of a person due entirely to the person having dark skin color is now known across the country as a "Kavanaugh stop," based on Justice Kavanaugh's justification of the practice. slate.com/news-and-pol...

There’s a New Lawsuit Against “Kavanaugh Stops.” It’s Absolutely Devastating.

These detentions, far from the “brief” inconvenience the justice described, are often lengthy, violent, and dangerous.

Imagine getting a cameo from (as of this moment) the likely next PM of the entire UK for $105. Western society is so chintzy, oh my God.

From the cameo top 10: at #10, for $105+ dollars, is Nigel Garage, who is listed as a "British politician". He's got a BIG smile on his face.

An Andrew Tate and Charlie Kirk fan just murdered two teenage girls. In a livestream now taken down he claimed they had made fun of Charlie Kirk's death.

This is the real world consequences of the hate and misogyny the right promotes while claiming the left is violent.

"Hey whatever Maria sees the pizza guy come, better think of Charlie Kirk for making fun of his fuckign death. Stupid ass clown. just remember that" "She made fun of Charlie Kirk's death on TikTok on a repost. Maybe her mother should moniter her social media activity"

New episode I Hate Bill Maher: @melbuer.bsky.social joins the show to experience more Bill Maher than she ever had before, and the number of times she says some variation of "my notes here just say 'I wish I didn't exist'" seems to suggest she didn't leave a fan of the guy.
