Border Patrol has an entire unit dedicated to covering up their misconduct. Are we surprised?

A group of migrants were hunted and shot by brothers Michael and Mark Sheppard last month. At the time, Michael was warden of the West Texas Detention Center run by the private prison company LaSalle Corrections. Under the Trump admin, this would have been much bigger news.

They will tell you Stacey Abrams lost, because Black men didn’t vote for her. It’s not true. She lost, because white people didn’t vote for her. Do not fall for the narrative that blames Black people for white racism and misogynoir.

White women are not “voting against their own interests.”

They’re making an astute political calculation that they have made successfully for decades.

They look around. They see who has power (almost exclusively white men). They side w power.

It’s sick, but it’s not stupid.
