Remember her name: Aliya Rahman
Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself.
It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did.
ICE MUST GO‼️

How did they redact abusers but not the victims? And they expect us to believe 40 nude photos went unnoticed?
That’s exactly why people think the DOJ did this on purpose, to shame these women for coming forward.

"lesser of two evils".
if you are referring to the last presidential election, and you say this, you really have not been paying attention.
just because YOU do not personally agree with some of the stances of a politician does not make them evil.
you are creating a false equivalence.

This makes the Jan 23, 2026 action the largest strike in Minnesota History, and depending on which number you use, 3rd in American History after the massive national strikes of 1919, or the Great Railroad Strike of 1922. I note with extreme interest that mainstream media didn't report these facts.

It is disgusting how Pamela Jo Bondi's Department of Justice works overtime to protect the perpetrators in Jeffrey Epstein's pedophilia enterprise but has no interest in protecting the victims.
BREAKING: The Department of Justice left multiple unredacted photos of fully nude women or girls exposed as part of Friday’s dump of more than 3.5 million pages of files related to the investigations and prosecutions of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislane Maxwell.
DOJ Released Unredacted Nude Images in Epstein Files
A note from investigators in the files said some images Epstein had were "POSSIBLE CSAM."

Trump isn't just suing the IRS. He's waging a war on it.
His regime has...
-Shut down the IRS's Direct File program, a huge gift to the tax prep industry
-Gutted IRS staff, leaving fewer employees to assist taxpayers
-Deprioritized federal tax prosecutions, letting tax cheats off the hook
