2/5. Brett Kavanaugh has joined opinions that undermine our fair housing laws and weaken the ability of African Americans and Latino Americans to raise discrimination claims.

4/5. And making their way through the courts now is a case arguing that protections for pre-existing conditions are unconstitutional, and a case that could result in deportation for 800,000 Dreamers.

5/5. In the last year and a half, it has often been the courts that save us from some of Trump's xenophobic & vindictive policies. That protection could end if Kavanaugh takes a seat on the court & bends the arc of justice backwards to a time & place none of us want to go back to
