Kavanaugh’s world of extreme privilege leads to these fantasies of how the Trump regime is operating.
This is a paragraph Brett Kavanaugh wrote on his little computer and then sent out into the world:

Can never forget how many Yale alumni and law school faculty wrote in defense of Kavanaugh’s appointment.
This reads like a clause from the Government’s brief or like a passage from a page on the DHS website. Instead it’s the words of a SCOTUS justice. What Kavanaugh describes here is a fantasy. We have seen how it goes down with our own eyes. What a disgrace! www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

This has a very specific context: That Pam Bondi's DOJ refused to enforce an arrest warrant for Cory Mills after his girlfriend called the cops on him.

We should keep repeating that fact: Pam Bondi is letting a powerful white man engage in violence in part bc GOP Majority depends on her doing so
Trump: "Things that take place in the home they call crime....If a man has a little fight with the wife, they say this is a crime."

1)The state of Florida spent >$200 million to build the facility it calls "Alligator Alcatraz"

2) It opened in early July, christened by Trump.

3) Now it is closing, due to a judge's order.

4) It will cost $20 million to dismantle the center, which was used for about 2 months.
