A text I received;

“They grabbed my classmate’s niece yesterday in Park City! Right down the fucking street from us! I’ve been on the verge of a panic attack all day.

She’s 16 and they don’t know where she is yet.”

This is human trafficking. CHILD trafficking.

It’s pretty obvious that Noem is hiding abuses - things she is purposely hiding from Congressional oversight, such as her low IQ, her hatred, her love of fabrication…

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Federal officers are firing so much tear gas at protesters outside an ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois, that some nearby community members who aren’t even protesting are struggling to breathe when they leave their homes to run errands.

ICE is hounding Chicago area locals with excessive chemical munitions

Agents are firing tear gas and pepper balls on lawful protesters, lawsuits say, sickening even uninvolved residents.

Of course that investigation was downplayed and eventually sidelined by A.G. Barr, so nothing ever came of it. There was no follow up.

So, there are presumably studies documenting far higher rates of autism in most Muslim societies than in ones which don't practice circumcision?

I mean, RJKJr wouldn't have tossed a seemingly-insane idea out there without checking to see if there were a ready-made real-life test-of-concept?

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · 15h

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is sparking debate with claims linking circumcision and Tylenol to autism, but scientists say the evidence is lacking.

Here’s what the science actually says:

I was on the ground today in Broadview with Senator Durbin to conduct Congressional oversight on ICE’s processing facility.  As elected officials, we have a duty to ensure transparency within federal facilities. What is ICE hiding? Kristi Noem, what are you hiding?

Tell me your bagel order and I will tell you *based on NYC cultural expectations* if you have won or lost your election for political office in NYC.

Erin Biba @erinbiba.bsky.social · 17h

One of my favorite things about NYC is whenever anyone runs for office here they are required to disclose their bagel order.

U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) says he has been denied 4 times to see what is going on inside the Broadview, IL ICE facility:

"Something's going on in there that they don't want us to see. I don't know what it is, but all Americans should be asking the same question."

Why are they at it again, when we were promised 'Never again' after WW2? Because resistance by indigenous populations or by organised workers has everywhere been crushed; but also because the earth is resisting, the limits of plunder are being reached...

The class that is running the US is heavily into abuse, of any kind they can perpetrate - sexual abuse, violence, neglect, & emotional harm (terror, degradation, false accusations, etc), + there are no age limits.
