How can you defend Iran with stories like this of a woman 5 months pregnant, arrested on suspicion of a civil violation, forced to sleep in shackles on a dungeon floor with cockroaches, denied access to reproductive healthcare, & suffered a stillbirth, which she was forced to deliver in front of prison guards. Horrific.

WAIT. Did I say Iran? I meant this happened in Louisiana this week to Iris Dayana Monterroso-Lemus, whose fiancee is a US citizen and she had no criminal record. #ThisIsAmerica

@QasimRashid It gets worse, daily. Seems like "we" have been saying this daily for the last 4+ month and impossible each new day comes and we think, oh, of course it got worse again today. There should normally be a point at which a common saying would be retired because it is just repetitive. But seriously. The cruelty IS the point.
