    Pedophiles have become a damn smokescreen in your country and the worst part is that it works. I have in my life time not read about slany efforts to combat child abuse in america on a federal level but id love to hear that i am wrong.

    Mclaughlin is a joke and ICE doesn’t face even close to the violence they deserve and not even a fraction of what they deal on a widespread daily basis, illegaly on top.

    Fuck ICE and complacency. Praise to people standing up against them.

      Children have always been used as tools. It’s either we have to stop pedophiles or we have to “think of the children.” Both excuses get used by both parties to strip rights away from us.

        JFC the problems with everything continue with every administration. That’s the point.

      Yeah for all the demands to hurt pedophiles all I see is them being weaponized as the beachhead of “well some people don’t deserve the rights of the accused/convicted” and as mudslinging.

      When the right wing says they’re going after pedophiles I just assume that means they’re using extreme violence against whoever they want because they’ve long ago stopped actually caring if someone is a pedo before accusing them of it. Which is very bad for children who are victims of child sex abuse. When pedophile is a generic insult as it’s becoming this either continues devolving into mass violence or people stop taking thst word seriously
