Brett Kavanaugh sees no problem with this woman being forced to do this every day for the rest of her life
“Traumatized, humiliated, degraded.”
The nurse, a US citizen, 4’11”, 85 lbs, says she was following orders when she was dragged out of her car by masked immigration agents in Florida.
It was the 3rd time she had been stopped and told to produce ID.

I started Outer Worlds 2, then for some reason took a break to play some Outer Worlds 1. After three playthroughs in a week (1 normal, 2 supernova), I'm having trouble jumping back to number 2... I don't know why I did this to myself, though it's nice to be reminded that the first one is very good.

This man may be the most racist president this country has ever had, and twelve presidents owned slaves
Trump: "It’s a hellhole right now. And those Somalians should be out of here. They've destroyed our country. And all they do is complain, complain, complain. You have her. She’s always talking about the Constitution provides me with – go back to your own country and figure out your constitution."

Absurdly, this calls to my mind a line of dialogue written long ago by one of the chief villains in this ongoing saga of bigotry across the pond:
"[If I didn't betray my friends], he would have killed me!"
"Then you should have died!"
If you'll sell out your friends, you weren't a friend.
"[If I didn't betray my friends], he would have killed me!"
"Then you should have died!"
If you'll sell out your friends, you weren't a friend.
"“My hope is that the message that the transgender community gets from this is not one of betrayal, but is one of our desire to continue to maintain those friendships and that support,...when that anger subsides the transgender community will know that we stand with them."
Nope, it's betrayal.
Nope, it's betrayal.
“I spoke to one 80-year-old woman who has been in our organisation for decades, who said it was one of the greatest experiences of her life, and the only place in her 80 years where she’s been treated as a woman with respect.”
