Bill Clinton ordered a missile attack on Sudan's AI Shifa medical facility, which produced 90% of the country's pharmaceuticals, claiming it was producing "chemical weapons." The destruction of the factory resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands from treatable diseases.

Lack of medical care is a systemic issue in the injustice system; after nearly three decades of incarceration, this man died of cancer that could have been treated.

"I lost my sister and aunt to COVID-19 complications. But I still had my mother, and it had been three years since I’d been able to see her — all I wanted was a hug."

A mother of 8 was deported within 24 hours of reporting sexual harassment by an ICE contracto She was following the rules & going through the process to get her green card Someone working on behalf of ICE abused her. She spoke out and was kicked out of the country. It’s retaliation & it’s wrong

Many rape survivors are forced to share custody with their attackers, writes Teresa Shonda in a new op-ed. Only 32 states allow the termination of parental rights of rapists who conceive a child, leaving countless women in the U.S. tethered to the men who assaulted them.
