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."

Ghislaine Maxwell knows what's in the Epstein Files, but she stayed silent about the men who raped & trafficked women & kids.
Why? What is she hiding? Who is she protecting?
But with Trump giving her special treatment in a low-security prison, she has no reason to cooperate.

Researchers estimate that the life expectancy for people forced to work in cane fields was mid 20s.
They were slaughterhouses. Being sent to one was functionally a death sentence.
They were slaughterhouses. Being sent to one was functionally a death sentence.
Mortality rates were so high on sugar plantations during slavery that slaveholders used to coerce enslaved people working other crops like cotton with threats to sell them or their loved ones to sugar plantations.
That’s where the term “sold down the river” came from.

There has been no de-escalation in Minneapolis/St. Paul. In fact, all reputable reports say that things have escalated without the mainstream media there. Please keep calling out their behavior. @governorwalz.mn.gov This is happening on your watch. You are either for or against the people.
Friends in Minneapolis are very worried about this development. Both in terms of state police's role in arresting protestors and the worry that this could set off the kind of spiral of distrust and destruction that followed George Floyd's murder.
