Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.
He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

I was homeless a few times when I was young and had left home early to escape abuse. It fills me with despair every time I see people perpetuate myths and stereotypes about homeless people that don’t reflect studies or lived experiences.

Anti-homeless sentiment is so ubiquitous across the political spectrum that it's become a jump scare. I can't tell you how many times someone whose politics seemed very good has just out of nowhere said something about people sleeping on the sidewalk that's indistinguishable from Fox News sludge.

hatred of unhoused people is genuinely a pipeline to fascism. if the wealthy can get you to dehumanize your own neighbors, then they can get you to do it to anyone.

In a democracy, we are supposed to feel like we have control over our lives because the people control the government.
But in the U.S., people feel like our lives are out of control because the people don’t control the federal government.

The CHILDREN?
"There was very much a class aspect to this.
A lot of the YOUNG GIRLS came from broken homes and poor backgrounds.
Some of them had been abused in their own families.
CHILDREN WERE VIEWED, BASICALLY, AS OBJECTS … THEY WERE VIEWED AS DISPOSABLE CHILDREN."
