Absolutely convinced this was intentional and a further humiliation and brutalization of impoverished girls and women who were trafficked, raped and abused by the most powerful and wealthiest men in the world. It reinforces class & gender domination and exploitation. Intended to silence.

Another day, another outrage; ICE under Trump is going to deport dozens of people to Iran, including two gay men previously arrested by the regime who face the death penalty for their orientation, and despite the ongoing crackdowns which have killed thousands.

An administration of total inhumanity.
