I've thought long and hard about this.
I built a #socialmedia presence to protect myself.
To seek #justice and speak out about what my father did to our #family and #poverty.
He #abused a woman with #tourettes into insanity, abused me into insanity and we were never the same.
Kidnapped me. Drove me to #idaho after I busted my hip and was staying with him in #seattle and was delusional, couldn't consent.
Jesse Hires - He works for #microsoft as a build engineer.
Well I'm about to make a lot of money, and make an EXAMPLE.
I need lawyer for patient abuse.
One of the supervisors just wrote me up for having #tourettes and then called me a liar for like 10 minutes and told me I needed a better facility.
Soul Housing Recuperative Care, 1540 S Saint Andrews Pl #losangeles
I have a mountain of evidence for me and other people. I record.
It will be money for any #lawyers here.
I'm making a documentary too.

A friend asks, how can Trump abandon millions to invaders in Ukraine then complain about ‘Canada stooping so low as to use ELECTRICITY, that so affects the life of innocent people, as a bargaining chip and threat’?
Kōbō Abe, who wrote thoughtfully about crime in his dystopian, edge-of-society prose offers a helpful point:
‘The cleverest thief is the one who pretends he’s been robbed.’
We have a first in American history.
#trump and his administration have been found in contempt of court, opening a door for criminal prosecution against Trump, and anyone involved in the #crime of kidnapping #kilmarabregogarcia and then refusing to facilitate his return.
It's a constitutional crisis and it will be an interesting point in #history to witness.
Our president is literally a criminal. He was before he was elected.
Of the 238 men deported to the prison in El Salvador, DHS data shows:
