Regardless of whether it’s all talk, when the leader of our country expresses plainly genocidal intent, everyone has to do something.
For citizens of all political stripes, it means rejecting this madness. For Congress, it means taking action to rein him in. Now.
Let’s be perfectly clear, the pregnant girls being held in the Texas ICE camp are children.
They’re not “young women”.
They’re kids.
If they’ve been impregnated after being locked up, every single ICE guard must be investigated for child rape.
The girls must be freed.
"Underage girls testing positive for pregnancy at detention centers."
Let me fix that for you.
"Children being raped at detention centers."
There you go.
The girls in the ICE detention centers are pregnant. They weren’t pregnant when they went in. We need DNA samples of every single ICE agent to match who is raping these girls. Why is this not happening?
Every day we wait, they suffer.
Right now, there are kids praying for a rescue—for someone to step up, step in, and do something.
Are we actually going to protect these kids from further exploitation, or are we just going to keep talking about it?
Serious question for @AGPamBondi. Rather than address the victims yesterday, you screamed at members of Congress about crimes that happened in their districts. You blamed them. With that, you were the Florida AG during the Parkland shooting when Jaime was murdered. Trump was President. DeSantis was Governor. Based upon your performance yesterday, should I blame all 3 of you for my daughter Jaime's murder or only you?
“The reason Trump didn’t apologize is because he is a small, petty, fragile man who cannot take responsibility for his own actions. And the second reason, frankly, is because he is a racist... He took out a full page ad in the NYT calling for the execution of 5 Black kids for murdering someone who they did not murder. He started his political career by denying the citizenship of the first Black president. And right now, a secret police force is rounding up brown and Black people for the crime of being brown and Black.”

Epstein survivor Anouska De Georgiou: The fact that the very people who are meant to lead this country have completely retraumatized us… it’s—I mean—it’s like being raped by the Department of Justice.
I looked at these documents and everything went into slow motion. My addresses, my driver’s license with my picture, my phone numbers. I was compelled to give testimony in the Maxwell trial, and therefore compelled to give an honest amount of information about my life—notes on everything personal that had ever happened to me. And all of that was released.
You can’t put that back in.
Many people have written to me on social media saying, “Well, if you’re already out and talking about being a survivor in your own name, what’s wrong with having your information out there?”
First of all, it wasn’t my choice to be public about this. It was my choice to speak in my own name at the dismissal hearing of Epstein’s charges after he died. But it was not my choice to be outed on the internet, or exposed in these ways by various trolls.
Gruesome Sudan testimony: "the large-scale massacre of civilians as they desperately tried to flee an ethnic rampage in Darfur last summer." "Witnesses describe children, still alive, being 'piled up and shot' by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces." https://t.co/sEGWBHFCU7
@Budget I made this reservation in October.
When I called last night to add my flight info, they claimed there was no record of any of it.
I would like to know how this happened. If I hadn’t called, how was I supposed to land with three young children late at night without a car?
A Black woman in Mississippi reported her son missing and went 7 months with police telling her they couldn’t find him.
She sent them photos, begged for updates, and implored them to put his story on the news.
It turns out they knew where he was all along. An hour after he left his house he was struck and killed on the highway by an off duty police officer.
They hid his body in the morgue for months without ever notifying his family despite there being a prescription bottle with his name on it found at the scene.
Then they buried him in a pauper’s field with nothing but a number identifying him as corpse # “672”.

#Traffickinghub movement is growing—we had almost 200 million views and engagements in 2023 so far.
Let’s keep the pressure on until we SHUT IT DOWN and LOCK THEM UP. Then we must put age and consent verification policies in place to ensure this atrocity never happens again.
a lot of praise (and rightfully so) for Meryl Streep and Paul Rudd in Season 3 of Only Murders in the Building, and the main trio are always great. But Jeremy Shamos did really great work as Dickie Glenroy and lord knows it must be hard to pop when THOSE are your costars
