Are you a business that's colluding with ICE? Caving to the biased attacks on DEI? Funding this administration for tax cuts?

This needs to be shared far and wide. My heart breaks for these women and the hundreds more victimized by Epstein and those who took advantage of young girls. They need justice at long last. @schakowsky.house.gov @casten.house.gov @underwood.house.gov
NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.

Everyone needs to know this and broadcast how awful this is! We should all be disgusted!
A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Despicable! How dare you call her 'the worst of the worst' and detain her when she's there, in court, reporting the worst of the worst - a sexual abuser?
According to the video, this woman was reporting sexual abuse in Riverside Court House & was accosted by ICE.
What if she were your daughter, sister, mother or wife?
How does this #ICELawlessness make us safer?

Our new premium is over $3K/month for a family of three. Could we scrape it together? Maybe. Should we have to? No.
