"For the child born this summer in Texas, whose parents receive no documents, whose name never appears in any system, and who grows up asking why she can’t go on field trips, apply for scholarships, or open a bank account, the consequences are not legal theory. They are her life."

The United States Is About to Embark on a Terrifying Experiment in Mass Statelessness
This scenario, until recently, might have read like a dystopian projection. But after the court’s decision on Friday, it is no longer hypothetical.

A horrific truth: the average age at which a victim of child abuse discloses what happened to them is 52 years old. And 1 in 3 never tells anyone. Silence is not a choice; it’s a sign of trauma. We must build a system that protects children and holds abusers accountable. #CSAM

#Breathingtools help w/ body regulation. Use a belly breath for diaphragmic breathing. This sends a message to your brain, turns the alarm off thru the Vagus nerve. Get your inhale/exhale to a 5 count to lower blood pressure. Learn to work w/ your body rather than against it. #healing #trauma #csa

I think it's so quaint how some people think an accused predator being found not guilty in a court of law means they're actually not guilty. Like we don't have a court system that puts the victims on trial while shielding predators from accountability. #SA #CSA

I was 9 when my abuser raped me in my own home. Other family members were in the house. It is hard to imagine how he took the risk, but he did. He was sure of my silence. I didn’t tell anyone what happened until 30 years later. I’m pretty sure he didn’t expect me to publish it in a book. 1/
