“A classmate, Max Stier, saw Mr. Kavanaugh with his pants down at a different drunken dorm party, where friends pushed his penis into the hand of a female student. Mr. Stier notified senators and the F.B.I. but the F.B.I. did not investigate”

The states trying to ban abortion are the states that have the highest proportions of black women living there. That’s not a coincidence, it’s exactly who these white legislators want to take reproductive rights away from.

Many states make it illegal to make false 911 calls (including 911 calls intended harass or annoy). People get fined or even jailed for this. Yet, we don’t see any of the racists in the videos we’ve seen be arrested or fined for calling 911 on black people.
