You cannot over estimate how much is shook people who consider themselves good people, to have a black man as a successful president. To this day I hear “Obama made racism worse” by people who refuse to consider their own biases.

Maybe you've heard the word a few times already today.

She wasn't even flying internationally. She was flying to Texas.

I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway.
