The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley.

Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo.

Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles.

Get them out!

Your Demand for Commentary On The Epstein Files Is Harmful
Your Demand for Commentary On The Epstein Files Is Harmful YouTube video by MelanieHamlett

PSA:
You don't have to educate yourself about the Epstein Files.

It's not mandatory.

Especially if you're an abuse survivor.

Anyone insisting that you should do so even if it harms you, tell them to fuck off. 🤎

Jason Bateman said the quiet part out loud on his podcast with #CharliXCX

Sam refused to say I love you. Only “ditto.”
He harassed and stalked a Black Woman, who he didn’t know, until she agreed to help him. He almost got her arrested & killed, all w/o pay! He made fun of Mollys career, ruined her clay pot to 👉🏻👌🏻, and almost got HER killed too.

Unsolicited (Bad) Advice—From George Clooney on Travis Kelce’s podcast to Kristen & Dax… YouTube video by MelanieHamlett

George Clooney keeps promoting this “never had an argument!” marriage, and now Travis Kelce says he hasn’t either. Wtf?

The “fight until we black out” marriage of Dax & Kristen is also bad!

I wish wealthy celebrities would stop giving us relationship advice at all.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members.

At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.

Working with mostly men my whole life, I have thoughts on this #DoorDash SA situation. Until men take their own SA seriously, they will never take ours seriously either. And they will continue to terrorize us to avoid it as well.
