A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.

Israel’s two-year assault on Gaza has left a catastrophic death toll that is even worse than most official estimates, according to European researchers. A study released on Tuesday estimates that “the current violent death toll” in Gaza is between 99,997 and 125,915.

if i led a newsroom, i'd be focusing less on "here is every disgusting epstein email," & more on "here are survivor perspectives," "here's how this was enabled," "here's how to oust pedophiles in your community," "this is how grooming impacts someone for years after," "here are free resources," etc.

we *know* that so many institutions are set up to cater to perpetrators, not survivors, of violence.

public discourse loves to focus on
"these men (epstein et al.) are bad"
& not focus on
"these people are experiencing x y z horrible after effects, since being preyed on. here are ways to support & help survivors,"
.......
because it cares more about punishment than rehabilitation.

ICE is kidnapping our neighbors on behalf of fascist billionaires. It's time for every single American to stand up to their intimidation tactics. Let's shut it down.
