“It should be crystal clear to everyone that the real threat to community safety is the ICE agents harassing, targeting, detaining — and in some tragic cases — killing our neighbors. This violence is unacceptable, it is criminal, and it is against the constitution of the United States.”

When we deny people shelter and basic living, predators will use it as bait.

1 in 5 runaway and homeless youth have experienced trafficking, especially high amongst (but not exclusive to) women.

If you care about human and child trafficking, start caring about homelessness.

I've taught so many young people like this woman in the Charlotte area. So many are from Honduras, Nicaragua, and El Salvador, and so many go into programs like nursing. Just completely inhuman policy and economic sabotage for our health care system.
She was brought to the US as an 8yo, worked hard, studied, earned a scholarship, planned to become a nurse.

ICE kidnapped her. Held her for 6 MONTHS in a detention facility with conditions so miserable that she finally agreed to voluntarily move to Honduras, which her family left at gunpoint.

trump has had exactly one unqualified success. it was the covid vaccine, it was a miracle, libs and leftists were thrilled about it, and he has spent every moment since burying that accomplishment and making sure nobody ever does anything like it ever again, a mission led by robert f kennedy jr.

Hand soaps are now being recalled because they can cause serious infection including sepsis and death.

In “healthy” individuals with minor cuts they will likely cause localized infection, but in immune compromised people it could be fatal.

Truly the worst timeline:
Hand soaps recalled nationwide over potential for 'serious and life-threatening infections'
A number of soap products sold nationwide are being recalled over concerns that using them could result in "serious and life-threatening infections."
