if you see anybody tempted to give the supreme court a single iota of credit for "defending obergefell" today, the best way to parse what happened with denying cert to kim davis is "this isn't the argument we want to do it with"

With the current state of things in Minneapolis (and the next four years looming ahead), I am looking for two things for this winter for the Supply Depot.

2. A gloves fairy godparent

“You deceived me when you claimed to be police officers!” “Who are you?”
“Why did you pull me over?” They finally released her after her daughter provided proof of her legal status

Broadview is a concentration camp and the people who devised this as a system and the goons implementing it deserve to be hanged. It needs to be said.
A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.
