Last Friday, I joined @RepRobertGarcia and my California colleagues for an unannounced oversight visit to the Adelanto ICE Processing Center. What we witnessed was appalling, and consistent with the neglect I have been sounding the alarm about for the past decade: filthy living conditions, dirty water, moldy food, tattered mattresses, and inadequate medical care. Every day Adelanto remains open is another day lives are in danger. SHUT IT DOWN NOW.

Two of the students who reported on the Cornell gang rape allegations more than a week before it became a national story vow to continue to push for transparency: “We have the right to demand safety from our university.”

Someone told me I shouldn’t help spread pictures of the Cornell 7 guys, because it might destroy their lives. Sweetie, that’s what I’m counting on.

This is Emma Sulkowicz She was a Columbia student who spent months carrying the mattress she was raped on across campus in 2012 Can you imagine her rapist Paul Nungesser was never expelled or criminally charged So she decided she will carry the weight herself. Every day, across campus, in front of everyone the same thing happened at Cornell university Somehow the school failed to confront the 7 rapists, and the survivor was left carrying the weight
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Columbia found Paul Nungesser not responsible after investigating Sulkowicz's allegation. The DA declined charges for insufficient evidence. Nungesser sued over the mattress project and settled with Columbia in 2017; the school stood by its finding. nytimes.com/2017/07/14/nyr… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emma_Sulk…

Mother’s Request - Make it Viral Sr IAS Ashwani Kumar’s son tried to rape and strangulate her daughter at GK. BJP’s @DelhiPolice has not registered the FIR under influence of IAS Ashwani Kumar. No doubt Ashwani Kumar was a blue eyed boy of LG Vinai Saxena & Amit Shah. Shame on all of us for bearing this shit for a decade.
