ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

Death Row Prisoners Granted Clemency by Biden Brace for "Living Hell" Under Trump - Bolts
Trump officials are retaliating by imposing the harshest conditions in the entire federal prison system, including near total isolation.
After Biden commuted the sentences of 37 men on federal death row last year, the Trump administration is retaliating by sending them to the supermax. Prisoners are locked in cells smaller than a parking space 22-24 hours a day.
One prisoner told me he fears he won't make it out alive.

One thing "Eddington" got right is that "child sexual abuse" is a very easy thing to base a conspiracy theory on, because most of us know people who were abused as children, or were those kids. So it's easy to conclude there's some hidden structure, but the actual "conspiracy" is just rape culture.

a screenshot from https://www.worldwithoutexploitation.org/ showing how they support the Kids Online Safety Act, a notorious censorship/surveillance bill
while they call it the "survivor model", in reality this is basically a repackaging of the "Nordic model" of sex work legality, which does not actually protect sex workers.

if you've seen a video going around of Epstein survivors talking about their abuse, you need to be aware that video is promoting World-Without-Exploitation, an organization whose website supports legislation like KOSA, and advocates for the "Nordic model"
