If a convicted felon & sex offender can hand out our tax dollars to convicted criminals, shows how corrupt the⚖️US legal system is. The US SOFA agreement internationally should be immediately abolished...to stop US paedophiles, rapists, murders & criminals abroad fleeing back to US getting payouts.

The first “please” is survival. The second turns dangerous. His restraint breaks. Her hatred slips. Suddenly the room is too small and the tension is breathing down their necks. A Debt of Shattered Hope is dark romantasy where begging becomes something far more intimate than planned. #faeromance

The Trump admin exposed an Epstein survivor's name over 500 times in the files' release, leaving her fearing for her life. We will NOT be distracted from the #EpsteinFiles, or the ongoing damage this administration inflicts on survivors.

If you think calling the GOP "nazis" is going too far, there's a case to be made that it's not going far enough. In NC, they proposed an amendment to their constitution that criminalizes any intervention w pregnancy, punishable by death, to be carried out by anyone. www.ncleg.gov/Sessions/202...

Приходять без стуку і йдуть, наче їм завинили, Безмежно стервозні, брехливі, ядучі і злі. На вигляд, як друзі, насправді ж, фальшиві-фальшиві, І живляться кров‘ю, витягують жили усі. А ти, як дитина, пускаєш непроханих в душу, А ти хлібом-сіллю приймаєш усіх і уся... Сліпим кошеням відкриваєш
