@RichardArion1 @JoshEakle Yes incredibly thoughtful and elaborate

@JoshEakle I made a thoughtful and elaborate response explaining what I meant. You are distorting what I said to imply racist discrimination.

This father went to his citizenship hearing expecting a handshake. Instead, ICE shackled him, threw him into a van, and tore him away from his pregnant wife and four children—without even letting him say goodbye. Kasper Eriksen arrived in Mississippi from Denmark in 2013, fully documented and determined to build a life here. He started a family, became part of his community, and followed every rule. He was never accused, let alone convicted, of any crime. But as best we understand, he's now imprisoned because of a single clerical mistake made years ago. In 2015, Kasper and his wife, Savannah, missed filing one form, among the hundreds required on the complicated path to citizenship. Savannah had just suffered a stillbirth, losing their first child. In the painful days that followed, paperwork deadlines understandably slipped past unnoticed. Now, over a month after his arrest, Kasper remains locked in a detention facility notorious for cruelty, neglect, and abuse. Savannah—eight months pregnant, at high risk, and terrified—is desperately pleading for her husband's return. She and their children have no idea when or if they'll ever see him again, and she doesn't know if he'll be present for her child's birth. Every day brings another nightmare under the Trump administration. The actions of our government are evil. There's simply no other way to describe it. May God have mercy on us all for allowing this to happen.

@ScottSchmidt78 @paulrawl1 @hayasaka_aryan @queenpinkie22 This really has to be a bot account. It’s too insane.

This what genocide looks like

Fighting fascism and racism in the UK — what you can do this week.

@DrEliDavid And congrats to Israel for the highest daily death rate than in any other 21st century conflict. You stupid sick fuck. 🙄 dunno why you’re in my feed. But truly, get fucked.

Congratulations to Palestine 🇵🇸 for winning the 100m sprint gold medal at Paris Olympics 🥇 twitter.com/Mr_Andrew_Fox/…

Just today. But let’s ban crossbows instead of addressing male violence.

@izaknife_ @AdamTheGaffa @cnmauricette You keep saying “it’s a joke”. But I don’t see a joke anywhere… what exactly is funny?

I mean she does have the bangers but fucking hell mate theres a way of going about it 😅🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 n that aint it

Looking forward to a chat on spiking and public sexual harassment tomorrow Sunday 3rd March at 6pm with @_theegalitarian over on Instagram live. Join us!

I don’t think people really understand how genuinely terrifying it can be for a woman to reject a man in case he loses his sh*t.

Serial rapist that committed three of the rapes while he was on bail. Police involvement - far from being a wake-up call - had the opposite effect. He’s also blamed the victims and deflected all responsibility. But sure - “less blameworthy”.

What an absolute honour and some sunshine to a wet grey day to find out I have been shortlisted for the @UNWomenUK 2023 awards in the Safe Spaces Now category alongside such an incredible group of changemakers. Congratulations to all the other nominees!

Elianne Andam’s funeral takes place in Croydon today. The 15 year old was fatally stabbed on her way to school in September. Two of her aunts Regina Boafo and Ruby Paintsil spoke to me yesterday about how they’ll be remembering her.

“Either you drive and leave me alone or I’ll pop your tyres” *casually starts looking in bag for something to pop them with.* LOVE HER. This is the confidence you need out there girls!

This 16-year-old girl represented herself in an employment hearing and won! She was sacked after making a complaint about sexual harassment. She is one of the youngest people ever to win an employment tribunal. I’m just here to say the youth are alright and I’m so proud of her!

You know what makes me dislike (some) (many) men more than any statistic or awful story I’ve heard? The men in my comments section that fight like their lives depends on it to negate the experiences and stories of women.

27,684 submissions in 6 years. - 68% from girls under the age of 18 - Of that 48% were wearing a school uniform - In 98% of those cases, the perpetrators were adult men

A former GCHQ worker, driven by incel ideology and resentment towards Secret Services, turns to terrorism in a harrowing act of violence. This case starkly illuminates the dark pathways some traverse when social alienation intertwines with radical political discontent.

Men dismissing stories of harassment by saying “well if that’s harassment, then every woman I know has been harassed” are so close to getting the point.

Speaking to The Independent, women’s activist Farah Benis said: “Every station needs to have staff. I think it’s not only a failure of the rail service but a failure in taking people’s safety into account.” independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/…
