Probably not because that's what American men have been allowed to do
Given what's happening at the National level with the Epstein files, without doubt we can assume that violent incidents against women, including rape, will be more frequent and brutal moving forward.
Epstein-misogyny two-way cause and effect.
"Refugees are people who have not been in this country very long, and they are escaping from authoritarian and totalitarian governments that do things like kidnap part of your family to get you to come down for an interrogation," Drake said.

Currently only 13 members of Congress donβt take money from AIPAC. I donβt want any more of my tax dollars going to Israel. Theyβve already gotten over $300 Billion from us since its inception. Why? We are funding genocide.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) β Alberto CastaΓ±eda MondragΓ³n says his memory was so jumbled after a beating by immigration officers that he initially could not remember he had a daughter and still struggles to recall treasured moments like the night he taught her to dance. But the violence he endured last month in Minnesota while being detained is seared into his battered brain. He remembers Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents pulling him from a friendβs car on Jan. 8 outside a St. Paul shopping center and throwing him to the ground, handcuffing him, then punching him and striking his head with a steel baton. He remembers being dragged into an SUV and taken to a detention facility, where he said he was beaten again. He also remembers the emergency room and the intense pain from eight skull fractures and five life-threatening brain hemorrhages.
ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man βpurposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.β
What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldnβt remember he had a daughter.
People who don't understand the point of tbe blockades in Minneapolis not insert themselves and argue that they're pointless or that they shouldn't exist. They will exist as long as Minneapolis is under federal occupation. They help keep the community safe.

Early in-person voting is now open in McHenry and Lake County, and mail-in ballots start going out across the district today.
After you vote, by mail or in person, send us a selfie. We love to see it!!
The media blackout on ICE activity is partly due to national Dem leadership giving up the leverage and national attention they had a month ago.
It's partly due to Americans not being willing to stay engaged for more than a couple months when it's bad things happening only to Black and brown people.
