I am the second of four sisters. Growing up, there was no safe adult to protect us. We survived years of childhood sexual, emotional, and physical abuse, and like many survivors, we learned very young that staying quiet was often safer than speaking up.

For a long time, survival was our focus. We grew up, built lives for ourselves, and did our best to create the safety we never had as children. I spent years trying to be the person my sisters needed because no one else stepped in.

But surviving is not the same as receiving justice.

Last year, my younger sister and I made the difficult decision to break our silence and report what happened. After more than a year and a half of waiting, our criminal case is finally moving forward.

The legal system is overwhelmed, and while resources exist, our case needs more support than is currently available. We are trying to raise $16,000 to hire a private attorney who can help us prepare, navigate the process, and ensure our case receives the care and attention it deserves.

This is not just about us. It is about finally being heard. It is about standing up for the children we once were and refusing to let what happened remain hidden.

Asking for help does not come naturally to us. We have carried this alone for a very long time.

New year, new series to watch. The story revolves around revenge and the lives of victims who were treated unfairly by the justice system. It made me realize how deeply cruel people can be—capable of committing terrible acts against others, even when it goes against their conscience, simply because they are afraid of those in authority. This truth comes alive in a world where those seated in power wear titles, and hold offices—yet choose corruption over conscience, self-interest over service, and silence over justice. Authority, in these moments, is no longer leadership; it becomes a shield for greed, abuse, and moral decay. Under such power, people are pressured to lower their heads, close their eyes, and call wrongdoing “procedure,” “policy,” or “normal.” Orders are given. Silence is rewarded. Obedience is praised. And slowly, immorality is dressed up as duty.

But this quote screams a reminder: real strength is not submission. It is the terrifying, defiant courage to say no when everyone else says yes. It is standing upright when power demands you kneel. It is choosing integrity when authority chooses injustice—knowing the cost, yet refusing to sell your soul.

Because when authority is corrupt, obedience is easy—but 𝕮𝖔𝖚𝖗𝖆𝖌𝖊 𝖎𝖘 𝖗𝖆𝖗𝖊.

The U.S. House of Representatives is preparing to vote next week on whether to release all remaining documents related to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The decision could reveal long-awaited details tied to one of the most controversial cases in recent years.

On April 29, 2024, IIMT College of Law in Greater Noida organized a "Parliamentary Debate on Capital Punishment." The death penalty, also known as capital punishment, refers to the execution of a convicted criminal as ordered by a court of law. It is imperative to distinguish capital punishment from illegal executions that are carried out without proper legal procedures.

Pass a bill to make Trump’s trial viewable by ALL Americans!

1,333 so far! Help us get to 2,000 signers!

I understand that the Senate just passed a bill, S. 3250, to permit victims of crimes associated with the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 to access court proceedings in the criminal case against the perpetrators. This new law will mean that affected people who are too old or infirm to travel to Washington, D.C., or those who are too far away to readily make the trip will still be able to observe court proceedings. Prosecutors at the Justice Department supported the move because they thought it was important for people affected by the crime to see justice in action. They are correct. Bearing this precedent in mind, I would like Congress to swiftly pass a similar bill for Trump’s prosecution for interference in the 2020 election. This case, United States v. Donald J. Trump, is of even more singular importance than the Lockerbie case. If such access can be offered for those victims it can be offered to the American people for a trial in which they have a distinct and unparalleled interest. This is one of the most important court cases this country will ever see. It is in the best interests of every US citizen to provide full access to it. There are, furthermore, no compelling reasons not to do so. Please introduce and/or support such a bill right away. People will be able to learn more about the arguments being made and it is more difficult to pass off disinformation about a proceeding that the public has full access to. Thanks.

The Cost of Marijuana Prohibition: Examining Criminal Justice Reform

Disproportionate Incarceration: The criminalization of marijuana has led to a significant number of individuals, particularly from marginalized communities, being incarcerated for non-violent marijuana offenses. This has contributed to the issue of mass incarceration and strained the criminal justice system.

Economic Implications: Enforcing marijuana prohibition incurs substantial costs, including law enforcement resources, court proceedings, and incarceration expenses. Legalizing and regulating marijuana can create new revenue streams through taxation, job creation, and economic growth.

Racial Disparities: Marijuana prohibition has disproportionately affected minority communities, leading to racial disparities in arrest and conviction rates. Criminal justice reform aims to address these disparities and promote equity by reevaluating marijuana policies and implementing fair and just alternatives.

Over the years I have learned from many management meetings how tears can get people to feel sorry for you if your skin is not Black or Brown. It taught me to recognise bullshit from the moment I enter any room and how to deal with white privilege bullshitters. 

A contact of mine shared this amazing story. 

In November 1993, I walked into an Eckerd Drugs in Gainesville, Florida to drop off film. I was escorted out by police a couple hours later, handcuffed and arrested.
