She excuses the use of the Shadow Docket saying it’s just dandy since the issue isn’t resolved. And Geidner responds

“Tell that to the fired Education Department employees — and elsewhere across the federal government.

Tell that to the men sent to South Sudan ...”

Justice Barrett wrote nothing in the racial profiling shadow docket ruling, but had something to say on Fox News Sunday.

Another evening of unprovoked aggression from ICE in Portland. Shoving, grabbing, chemical weapons. Somebody needs to teach these ornery toddlers how to use their words.

That person in the wheelchair must be their bionic nemesis to warrant such a severe response. Or they're just assholes.

This is not legitimate ICE trained agents.
These are a racist, bitter human beings who feel as if this is their only recourse to get even with someone who has probably long forgotten what they’ve done to them.
Cowards, loyalist, mindless, spineless cultists.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

President Obama tells Maron the ACA was a compromise because he didn’t have the votes for what he really wanted. #MedicareForAll

Pres. Obama to Marc Maron: "If you're a business, you say, 'You know what? We think it's important … to hire people from different backgrounds. And we're not going to be bullied into saying that we can only hire people or promote people based on some criteria that's been cooked up by Steve Miller.'"

ICE agents blocked an ambulance that was trying to take an injured protester to hospital.

"We are still not being allowed to leave by ICE officers.” an EMT said on radio

When driver tried to get out, an agent yelled, "DON’T YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN, I WILL SHOOT YOU"
