BREAKING: President Biden has hit 140 federal judges confirmed — more judicial confirmations than Presidents Trump, Obama, and George W. Bush up to this point in their presidencies.

The notion that slavery had good benefits for the enslaved people (gave them skills?) implies that the enslaved people who were kidnapped from their country of origin, or produced from rape of those same people, or from being trafficked after being stolen from their parents, were in fact ‘feral’ by nature and thus, were being ‘educated’ by White Masters. This perpetuates the “lesser value/less than fully human” mythology that has enabled racism from the beginning. #Shameful #Racist

#MikePence is such an idiot!
Why don't we abandon our justice system entirely and put every infraction up for a national vote?
Did you go through the red light?
"Let the people decide"
Did you swindle someone?
"Let the people decide"
