These 10 girls are different ages, from different states, and have different upbringings. But they have one thing in common.

They were all allegedly killed before the age of 20 by a man they at one point had a romantic relationship with buzzfeednews.com/article/stepha…
Kiera Bergman was 19 when she vanished from her Phoenix-area home in August. Her body was found about a month later.

Bergman's family is raising money for domestic violence victims in her memory. "Even if we help one person out there ... that's my goal right now," her mom said.
Authorities say 16-year-old Jholie Moussa's ex confessed to strangling her. Her mom told @WUSA9 she believes he manipulated her daughter after he was kicked out of school for harassing her: "We had multitude of conversations explaining to her that it wasn't her fault."

The Libya conflict, which started in 2011, was the first major war that took place entirely during the social media era. Militants and civilians documented the conflict in real time.

This has fundamentally shifted how war crimes are prosecuted. A thread: buzzfeednews.com/article/meghar…
Militants and ordinary Libyans began posting thousands of videos of brutality to social media. But for academics, activists and war crimes investigators who were looking, this was more than a stream of violence — it was a windfall of potential evidence.
This is a huge shift. Investigators documenting abuses used to depend heavily on diaries, records, and interviews with witnesses that sometimes took place years after the fact. Now, the evidence is available immediately — sometimes uploaded by militants incriminating themselves.

🚨 It's official: The US government has partially shut down because Congress couldn’t reach an agreement on Trump's demand for border wall money.

buzzfeednews.com/article/nidhip…
Trump has been threatening for weeks to shut down the government over funding for his wall.

"I will shut down the government. And I am proud to shut down the government for border security," he said in a tense meeting with Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer.
buzzfeednews.com/article/nidhip…
What does a partial shutdown mean?

Hundreds of thousands of federal employees will have to work without pay — others will not be able to work at all.

Catholic Bishops have rejected a law that would compel them to report confessions of sex abuse of children heard in the confession box.
They say that it would interfere with religions freedoms. No shit!
It's almost as if abusing children sexually isn't really illegal if you are Catholic. Especially if you are a priest.

Sorry to tweet this thread, but this is too horrific to ignore.
"Catholic Priests Abused 1,000 Children in Pennsylvania, Report Says" - @nytimes nytimes.com/2018/08/14/us/… #ChurchSexAbuse
"Bishops & other leaders of the Roman Catholic Church in Pennsylvania covered up child sexual abuse by more than 300 priests over a period of 70 years, persuading victims not to report the abuse and law enforcement not to investigate it" according to a grand jury #ChurchSexAbuse
"The report, which covered six of the state’s eight Catholic dioceses and found more than 1,000 identifiable victims, is the broadest examination yet by a government agency in the United States of child sexual abuse in the Catholic Church." #ChurchSexAbuse nytimes.com/2018/08/14/us/…

Another VERY IMPT POINT from this late Friday #followthemoney scoop by @a_cormier_ & me about GOP operative Peter Smith and his attempts to buy HRC's deleted emails

buzzfeednews.com/article/jasonl…

1/
The subpoena Northern Trust bank rec'd last Dec specifically sought info abt the $9K withdrawal from KLS Research’s acct on Sept 8 2016. That withdrawal took place 1 day after Smith finished his paper that laid bare his plans for obtaining HRC emails

buzzfeednews.com/article/jasonl…

2/
It was also 1 wk after Smith & John Szobocsan incorporated their LLC, KLS Research, in Delaware, which was set up to avoid campaign reporting.

This $9500 withdrawal FBI specifically asked Northern Trust about in subpoena is what bureau is chasing
