For a political party that keeps repeating ‘the facts do not care about your feelings, the Republicans sure do get their own feelings hurt on a frequent basis.

I mean, are ankle monitors somehow not a thing for underage Nazis?

What should really scare you is that people in Georgia looked at all she’s said and went, “Yep, she’s who we want!”

So, what are the odds that the same white supremacists that crowd-funded the $2MM dollar bail snuck him off to Argentina or elsewhere with a pocket full of cash. I’m guessing 50/50.

I was trying to imagine what would happen to a POC in the same situation, but of course they wouldn’t have survived being arrested, so it’s moot.

There is no way to be anything. We are always reduced to whatever bullshit label they want to use. Going to be interesting trying to explain this to my daughter.

According to the New York Times obituary, plenty of people saw her as a “callous climber”, so it’s safe to say that she was never going to be able to behave “correctly”.

We're not supposed to. 

I mean, isn’t it? If they’re blatant about it and continue to get elected?

“She was looking for a protector. Any protector.”

Holy fucking shit no child should have to put up with that kind of family life. Also, the cop’s excuse that the parent requested the cops treat the kid that way is absolute bullshit. If any parent is requesting that for their 9 year-old child, cops should realise that is not a parent that can be trusted and that they…

One of the primary things that makes me mad here is that yet again, police are trying to do work that isn’t theirs to do. Once the adults were handled and it was clear there was a kid involved, why wasn’t CPS or social services called to handle the child? Why were the police ever trying to do anything with this little…

Understand they didn’t care about calming a child. They saw her, a Black child, as a smaller Black adult.

Hey Meghan, please connect the dots. Your father. Sarah Palin. Donald Trump. Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Right now? She is the endgame of the GOP and has been for the last 50 years. The moment Trump walked into GOP HQ and walked out with a trash bag full of their collective balls, it was over.

And then this poor child, who has been handcuffed on her back down in the snow and then pepper sprayed, asks for them to wipe her eyes. Imagine what it takes to get pepper sprayed by cops and then beg them to wipe your eyes as they enclose you in a police car full of pepper spray. All because she wouldn’t put her legs…

Jfc. Thank you for the synopsis. These kinds of videos are way too triggering for me. I hope that child finds an adult actually willing to be on her side and give her the protection she needs. 

Yep--this is unexpectedly lovely.  I am rarely surprised by fashion, but this did it.

My father, who was a terrible parent in so many ways, taught me very few life lessons. One of them was: everyone has a price; those who say they don't only means they haven't found the right price yet.
