Folks would be surprised to learn that often I hear accounts from witnesses *first*, and it’s the victim herself who isn’t willing to come forward because it’s a very, very painful process. That may persist for YEARS of leads.
Again: Reporters have no story until we get consent to tell one.

Walkies around blockies. Necessary. 🫠

Okay. I'm seeing a lot of well-meaning liberal men on Bluesky who are FURIOUS that people - including reporters - who knew about Swalwell, didn't make it a point to spill the beans sooner.
Men, genuinely: it doesn't work like that. To do so is to take agency away from victims.

My cat wanders around searching for crumbs on the floor as if he is starving, and not fed multiple times a day.
Where are they proposing to put this fugly monstrosity? 🫠
19 people freed in just 9 days. That’s 19 people back home, with their families, their friends, their communities, after enduring the trauma of detention.
So far this year, we’ve secured 150 releases.
I will be wearing all my layers on the plane now. Of course, I'm dressed for every occasion, why do you ask?
Well they did say they wanted to take us back there so....
Wearable tech can also be a form of tech-enabled abuse. It's a means of control, whether by a company or an abuser tracking your information. Again, who are you giving power over to, what will they do with it, why do they need it? Why do you?
Good to see a tech writer noting the endless cycles.

There's a great breakdown on Zampoli done by Bekah Day on TikTok and YouTube. She goes through all of it.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz made an unannounced visit to the Everglades concentration camp where she describes the inhumane conditions she witnessed.
I wait a bit.
Screenshot of sophiafornc from Threads: This is eleven year-old Genesis and six year-old Denis, two Durham elementary school students whose families came here to seek asylum. On Monday, they were detained by ICE and immediately sent back to Honduras without due process. Don't you dare tell me that this is making our country safer.
I am so angry. Two Durham, NC kids - 11-year-old Genesis and 6-year-old Denis of Burton Elementary Magnet School - were taken by ICE at their regular asylum case appointment, and immediately deported without due process.

Please don't post your crimes on the internet. Thanks.
I need money for pain meds and food
I did a thing today, and sat next to the only other person masking. Turns out she never stopped masking and has an immunocompromised family member. We were in a small conference room, and the person in charge made sure to mention her coughing was from "allergies" and not communicable. 🙃
real long shot here but if you have any idea why melania is suddenly talking about epstein, reach me on signal at marisakabas.04

What you end up doing is making a lot of websites, apps and information mass banned or inaccessible to people who need it. Everything from reproductive health, education materials, LGBTQIA resources, things labelled as "obscene," which is open to interpretation. You get a dragnet.
Fascinating that all of these bills leave much open to interpretation, & room to be litigated. Every age verification law I've read has a bunch of word salad, with no means, measures, or money for implementation. Mass surveillance wrapped up as "protecting kids."
A gofundme is organized for them.

Your organizing targets are the people most likely to give you what you want. THAT IS HOW YOU CHOOSE ORGANIZING TARGETS.
Will you be able to get him eventually? 😟
