But, we don’t see much in the news about how to help fix us. NO KINGS DAY is June 14, 2025. It will be at a city near you. Find it. What you won’t read (I haven’t seen it) is a major media network covering this event.
Trump’s Crack Down On Migrants Is Cracking The Case

The natural human reaction to crack downs is to team upTorrents, currents, and ripples by Christyl Rivers, PhD. When weary and wary, you don’t feel trust or respectCommunity and public outrage against illegal and/or racial profiling done by agents and officers is having a predictable result.

1 week ago | medium.com | Christyl Rivers

People worldwide have very unfortunate and ubiquitous ideas about what constitutes rape. Although RAINN, the Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network provides primarily reliable statistics about how often Americans are victims of abuse, the numbers feel off. I would like to explain. RAINN is an important public service, and they are absolutely vital for keeping track of cultural abuses of human rights.
