You know what actually makes women happy? Bank accounts. Voting rights. The ability to leave a bad marriage, and not have a miscarriage kill us.

ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

Terrific piece by @jamellebouie.net that articulates the central problem with the Trump presidency.
He demanded unprecedented power and has, thanks to his lickspittles in Congress & SCOTUS, been granted it. But he has little interest in using it beyond his grasping selfishness. The nation's adrift.

They’ve murdered Venezuelan and Colombian nationals for unsubstantiated claims of trafficking but they’re pardoning a convicted drug trafficker whom the US Department of Justice showed is a “violent, multi-ton drug trafficker” who at least twice “helped arrange murders of drug trafficking rivals.”
Former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández was convicted of running a narco state. Now he is on the cusp of freedom, with President Trump promising to end his prison sentence with a pardon.
