I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

A truly heinous man has doxxed the Cornell victim on X and the comments are predictably vile. Based on countless interviews I’ve done with survivors, the trauma they are subjected to for coming forward is oftentimes even worse than the initial trauma they experienced. There is no real justice system

Mejia said some of the children don't have families to go home to, and others' families are themselves involved in criminal
organizations, complicating the process of determining what would be safest for those children.
Arvey from Human Rights First said that some families are able to get their children as far north as Monterrey on flights, but then the children have to figure out the rest of the journey to Tamaulipas, the border state where many are from. She said cartels have even paid for some children's flights in order to re-recruit them.
"Now this is just making the security situation worse," Arvey said. "It's also making it more likely they'll be re-recruited instead of reunited with family and accessing services like with DHIA."

This is an extraordinary act of direct foreign interference by the US embassy in domestic Australian politics. The Australian government should publicly respond by rejecting efforts by the US embassy to dictate how Australia legislates for a digital duty of care.
