‘Racial profiling at its finest’ | Black doctor says man used SUV to keep her out of her community

ATLANTA — A Black doctor is upset at a man who she says racially profiled her when he blocked her from entering the community that she has lived in for about eight years.
A part of the nearly 30-minute exchange was captured on camera.
A police report indicates that Nnenna Aguocha stated she was attempting to enter the Buckhead Townhome community after just coming off an overnight shift
when another property owner stopped her at the gate entrance. She said he parked his car under the gate arm and refused to move forward to let her in, despite her repeated requests.
“He got out of the car and threatened to call the police on me because I was trespassing,” she said in the video recording taken at the scene. “This is racial profiling at its finest.”
#MelaniaTrump is a grown ass woman. She knew that was not the appropriate attire to wear to visit immigrant children in distress. It was a mofo message. BAMF!
For once someone in the Trump family told the truth, in this case written on a jacket.

You know, Silverman at BJ brought up a very interesting point:
Yeah, where did the money for all this shyt come from? Point out the line in the budget where it was approved? Cause, if it had been in the budget before, don’t you think some budget nerd would have pointed it out?

Hasn’t surprised me at all. Stop giving these muthaphuckas ANY benefit of the doubt.
What has been surprising to me–I will confess–is the comfortability some people have with cruelty to children on a policy level. ‘It’s like summer camp’. ‘Just like day care’— Soledad O’Brien (@soledadobrien) June 21, 2018
THE LAST WORD WITH LAWRENCE O’DONNELL 6/20/18
Lawyer named in Trump executive order responds
The President’s executive action orders Jeff Sessions to challenge a court order that prevents the actions that are actually included in the President’s Executive order! One of the lawyers Sessions now has to challenge explains that families could end up jailed on military bases. Lawyer Peter Schey, tells Lawrence how he will respond in court to Sessions and Trump.
We don’t know where some of those children are, they could be in the hands of predators, abusers, organ traffickers. sex traffickers. It makes you want to fight somebody.
This woman was deemed ‘ too qualified’ to volunteer at a shelter.
TOO QUALIFIED?

Michigan taking in children separated from their parents at border
Updated Jun 20, 11:07 AM; Posted Jun 20, 10:55 AM
By Madison O’Connor
GRAND RAPIDS, MI — Some of the children who have been separated from the parents at the U.S.-Mexico border are being cared for in Michigan.
Children of these unauthorized immigrants, caught up in a zero-tolerance policy directed by President Trump’s administration, cannot be housed with their parents in adult detention centers.
They’re transferred to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to be placed in foster care, with U.S. relatives or in juvenile facilities, including placement in Michigan.
……………………………..
The Detroit Free Press reported the average age of these children is 8. Michigan foster-care agencies are having difficulty handling the increasing number of children who arrive in Michigan at nighttime, the newspaper reported.
Arbulu said in his statement the department has received reports that some displaced children arriving in Michigan are infants as young as 3 months old and “completely unable to advocate for themselves.”
“We have received reports and are very concerned that the children arriving here are much younger than those who have been transported here in the past,” Arbulu said in the statement. “While we commend the work of resettlement agencies in Michigan attempting to serve these children with dignity and compassion, nothing can replace the love, sense of security and care of a parent.”
Via LGF and twitter
BREAKING: NYC Mayor DiBlasio confirmed 239 girls separated from their parents were being held at a detention center in E Harlem. The youngest is 9 months old, she’s been there for a MONTH.
He went on to say the only reason he knew about the girls is because it was leaked to him.
Big reminder: HHS officials pledged on Tuesday to release photos of detained girls and toddlers “within the next two days.”
That would be by the end of today.
