NOW

Avenatti....He is a Gladiator....I call him, Maximus

His focus..it does resemble that of Maximus...from the all time favorite movie, Gladiator.

'This is not it. This is. Not. IT.'

to take actual action?

I am impressed...we need to have his back.

I mean, good for him, but there are all kinds of attorneys working on this. At least one Civil Rights group in Texas was interviewed on MSNBC about their involvement, and I'm pretty sure the ACLU has a group on this.

Most of the attorneys and groups working on this have spent all their time and money working for the benefit of their clients - as they should. Avenatti already has a public forum and is very good at using the media for his purposes so he can attack on a new front.

Jacob Soboroff is doing a great job reporting the facts, but Avenatti has an on camera presence that can help even more.

I'm thrilled Avenatti is on this, for precisely the reasons you point out.

for extra legal help. The good thing about Avenatti is he has a huge platform and high visibility.

He’s doing the work of the saints. Fighting the yellow-haired liar who has that special place in Hell waiting for him.

Avenatti is a fighter!

reveals how low and degenerate their "family values" really are

are being brought before a judge in criminal court? I’m no lawyer but I’ve now heard multiple experts saying that seeking asylum is NOT a crime.

Please tell me what I’m getting wrong here.

Mighty glad to see how many entities are fighting this, AND Michael Avenatti, too, now! That’s the best news I’ve heard in along time!

It seems as though even the refugees who present themselves at the border stations and apply for refugee status are being treated as illegals

I don't have links, this is what I have gathered from TV sources.

...and make their plea for asylum. This is what I have always understood the case to be.

Jeff Sessions with his twinkly eyes and happy little smile has created a complete perversion of the process -- damn sadist looks like he's getting a kick out of it. Trump, Sessions, and Dead-eyed Miller are all lying in their teeth.


NOT IN MY NAME, YOU EVIL BASTARDS!

Good list.

pass along the information for the groups that really need money right now. I am glad Slate did.

It really bothered me.

I donated some money to the ACLU. I will be happy to donate to a GoFundme help those kids.

He just may get something done. His voice will draw attention for those who are not paying attention.

And Americans are horrified by NeoNazi GOP terror tactics. This will not stand. Avenatti is awesome and great to have on the side of American Decency, but America will not stand for this. Every American must fight to stop this evil pre-genocide spectacle. This is a call to war for all decent Americans. We went to war against Nazis to stop this kind of thing.

I am cancelling any Independence Day parties.

We are a division of Russia Inc. That is not independent or free.

I will hold a quiet wake for what we have lost.

Go get 'em Michael!

Please keep up the fight until our country ends this nightmare.

If we are going to re-purpose empty mega-stores, it sure as hell shouldn't be as for-profit detention centers for children or for anyone.

America is dying and needs saving...fast.

off their butts and vote against tRump and his minions then all is truly lost.

and every last enabler.

This man is brilliant at using the media, he's a skilled orator, a champion for the oppressed, he's handsome, he's the most interesting -- race car driver! -- man in the world. He's classy, he has, at the very least, built a public perception of high moral values and personal integrity, and he's also a wily legal opponent, and he takes no prisoners in the most elegant way possible.

They are going full Nazi. This abhorrent action must stop immediately and those responsible need to be punished for this inhuman behavior!

Anyone who justifies it is are as bad as the ones openly committing this heinous act because they are enabling it.

I had decided yesterday to start referring to the 'detention centers' as concentration camps. Today I am going to send a letter to each of my GOPer senators how is it that they can justify sending these children to concentration camps.

Italians take very seriously the importance of family ties and the preciousness of children.

…when we get a Dem into office in 2020.

Or Supreme Court Judge.

Would make a great Senator from NY too but I guess the establishment Dems have those office now.
Maybe he'll be AG of New York for a while at some point.

Love this guy's feminism, values, energy and media savvy.

Thank you Stormy for finding him!

I'd never heard of him before the Stormy Daniels case, but he's gone from 0 to 100 in very short order.

Avenatti is a master at the media. He calls a spade, a spade, no mincing words or playing around with nicities. Right now Avenatti is the alpha-est male in the room. I'm glad he's in the fight now.

I don't know who I am more outraged at, Trump, his enablers in congress or the conservative "Christians" who put him/them in office. These so called "Christians" are doing more to destroy America, destroy decency, morality and empathy than any other group I can think of. And oh, they are also destroying their own religion in the process. FYI, I was raised in one of their sects, but I was NEVER taught to treat people this way.

Godspeed Mr. Avenatti!!!

And don't forget this is a clear pattern from trump and the gop hurting children with their policies. Cutting food programs for them , cutting their health care available to them, cutting EPA pollution standards polluting our air and water for them, and all being done intentionally, and hurting children. They should be shamed the rest of their lives for this now.

Avenatti fights like an enraged tiger. I know there are more individuals & groups fighting this obscenity, but more help is always needed and welcome.

I hope you will inspire more democracy-loving attorneys to do the same.

has been a disappointment.

An AA was POTUS for 8 years and look at the IMMEDIATE WHITE backlash. The trump voter cheering MAGA and their potus are nothing but pure evil.

Slaves themselves were ripped from their homeland.

Native peoples had their children forcibly removed and then sent to be raised by white people or in orphanages run by white people.

Japanese Americans were put into detention camps and lost everything.

Jim Crow

Bush tortured people.

Yeah. This is America.

Too often any progress toward the good feels like the exception and not the rule

Mahalo!

Thank you, Michael Avenatti!

slingers. Even silly Kellyanne Conway was able to rope-a-dope "celebrity" Chuck.

Every piece of fallacious argument and every flat out lie from diabolical Republican interviewees should not only be exposed by non-Murdoch interviewers, but also these steaming propaganda defecators should be truncated instead of the way gutless interviewers keep attempting to normalize such egregious bull dust.

That's the very least our feckless news media "celebrities" can do to fight against separating children into harmful incarceration. And why aren't they fighting for our school children whose gun regulation campaigns these same news celebrities have so quickly abandoned?

Thank goodness for Avenatti and hosts like Melber, Maddow and O'Donnell who provide Avenatti with opportunities for him to speak truth to power.

Thank you Mr. Avenatti for going there!!!

It is fascism.

And you have the guts to call it what it really is! Plus you have the media spotlight.

The United States of America is "uniquely American." It's capitalistic structure, authoritarianism, racism, classism, and nationalism is not new. The modern U.S. grew out of all of those seeds.
