People are routinely subjected to sexual harm, yes, and other people perpetuate sexual harm. But it is a myth that serves the police to make "sex trafficking" a unique crime that is committed by shadowy others. All of the copaganda has not protected women and girls at all.

Police in Bloomington, MN just announced that one of the guys they arrested in an underage sex trafficking sting was a **background checker for ICE agents.**
He had a high security clearance in the Trump administration... and he was caught trying to abuse children. Sickening.

community fridge idea for those that have them! doesn't necessarily involve cooking!
people often request "grab and go" type things at mine, but people often drop pantry staples (tons of peanut butter, dry noodles, various breads, dry beans, canned goods). so i frequently grab those to assemble

Portland's Design Commission got a close look in a public hearing Thursday at a master plan to redevelop Lloyd Center. They also got an earful from community members upset at the loss of the mall and the beloved ice rink inside it.

Federal presence early this morning at First Institutional Baptist Church just east of downtown Phoenix. Pastor Robert Ty Jones said he's trying to resolve conflicting reports of which federal entities were at the church around 7 a.m. but an FBI uniform was seen. No one was arrested or detained
