Just ordered @LailaMickelwait’s just released book #Takedown: Inside the Fight to Shut Down Pornhub for Child Abuse, Rape, and Sex Trafficking. #SexTrafficking #PornHub #ItTakesAVillage #HiddenInPlainSite
24 Jul 2024
My book Takedown has been out in the world for a little over 24 hours and I’m getting a flood of encouraging messages from readers who have already finished it saying things like
“I couldn’t put it down”
“I was up until 3am devouring the book”

I remember all the doom-and-gloom from the restaurant industry when indoor smoking bans came into effect. Here we are 20 years later, and, there was no doom-and-gloom, and it's just all quite normal now, and pleasant to sit in a restaurant without someone smoking in the place.

When wearing seat belts became mandatory, there was pushback from the public. Similarly, when smoking laws came into effect, restaurants and other indoor public venues had to change policies. @TalRicci looks into the public reaction to COVID-19 regulations.

Amen to this @crimegarden. Whether you agree with the protest message or not, that message gets lost when #CommonSense is lost too! #idiots

For fucksakes, people in Ottawa protesting at a hospital. Fools, the lot. As you were , and good on @JimWatsonOttawa to call for respect.
You know you’re deranged when you protest a place that saves lives every single day.

20 years after the terrorist attacks of 9/11, we pause once more to remember the victims, and look back on our military legacy — one of honour, courage and sacrifice — and look ahead to an increasingly dangerous world where these virtues will continue to be needed.

I'm more pissed at the protestors who choose to picket outside of hospitals. Like, really? A place of healing where family members as well as our important frontline healthcare and support workers who selflessly care for the sick and their families come and go? F*cking morons!

Culturally based programming is best delivered by community-led organizations. That’s why Ontario is supporting Tungasuvvingat Inuit to provide an anti-human trafficking program supporting Indigenous youth with direct prevention, intervention and healing. news.ontario.ca/en/release/1…

Always nice to see the pieces of shit involved in victimizing people via #HumanTrafficking caught and charged! Great work @PeelPolice in posting the pics of those charged. Hopefully it helps others with potential information come forward.

Ontario is increasing supports for youth disproportionately impacted by violence & victimization.
11 new community-based programs will help prevent youth from becoming involved in gun violence, gang activity and victimization through #humantrafficking.

This is disappointing to see. We here at @KingstonPolice have had a very good working relationship with our local media for many years, having honest discussions on matters to determine what is in the public interest, and I would hope this would never occur in #ygk.

Thank you to the media outlets who respected the privacy request issued yesterday. We are shocked to see that some media identified the children despite the request. This is beyond disappointing and you have caused additional hurt to this family.
