I'm already sick of "It's all a distraction from Epstein" replies. This regime is killing innocent people because our leaders are all power-hungry tyrants and war profiteers. When you say it's "just a distraction" you minimize the gravity of what's happening and the lives lost.
This over the course of 5 days, disrupting lives now and endangering them going forward any time they need to show licenses or IDs.
This while marauding ogres are demanding arbitrary identification or else they lock you up for as long as they like.
And it's the year of a major federal election.
This is extremely dangerous for those who use wish lists for organization & mutual aid. Please share far & wide.
where is justice for Nurul Amin Shah Alam? when will those charged with holding the guilty accountable demand that justice?
The official announcement is out! My book, WOMEN RUNNING FROM HOUSES, will be out in the world February 2028! Itβs my nonfiction deep dive into the vintage Gothic Romances widely known for the damsels with great hair running from a dark mansion! Iβll be posting bits and pieces so keep π
