Alex Pretti. Renee Good. How Trump victim shames them.
Why do we blame the fallen? From Minneapolis to the Epstein files, learn the psychology of victim shaming and how the "perfect victim" myth silences the truth.

The government does not get to redefine the law by tweet. Federal authority is constrained by constitutional law and oversight. Claims of blanket immunity are dangerous. Social media posts are not a substitute for the U.S. Constitution.
