It shouldn’t surprise us, though, that the protection of children is anathema to the regime and its fleet of elected (and unelected) cowards, given what and who they continue to protect in the Epstein files. I don’t know how they can sleep at night

Please watch this teacher’s wrenching testimony from today. The courage of people like Mandy, the only line of defense against the cruelties and trauma enacted upon young children and their families, is astonishing

DHS is holding a 2-month-old BABY at a detention facility in Texas.
