Liberty Square resident Sharon Gregory was skeptical. She had lived in a public housing unit for 17 years, tired and scared of the violence that has plagued one of the oldest housing projects in the U.S. (THREAD) hrld.us/2J3CZdk
So when developers came around 2 years ago with plans to replace the dilapidated homes of Liberty Square with new apartments, she didn’t believe them.

“I knew they were not going to build anything like that for us. We’re public housing. They don’t do that for us.”
Then came Saturday, when Gregory was handed the key to her one-bedroom apartment in the new Liberty Square. When she opened the door and saw the polished floors and shiny appliances, she burst into tears.

Her rent remains the same as it was before — $147 per month.

Today, R. Kelly was charge w/sex crimes dating to 1998.

In 2016, Trump himself brought Clinton accusers with allegations dating to 1978 to a debate.

Today, when asked about a 2008 child rape case in which an illegal plea deal by his now Labor Sec. helped him avoid prosecution:
It is unknown how many powerful men were protected from prosecution by Alex Acosta's ILLEGAL plea deal with pedophile sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. But we do know Trump was an Epstein friend and party goer -- who later gave Acosta a Cabinet-level job. miamiherald.com/news/local/art…
"These were throw-away girls basically. They came from very poor families. They were very young. I think (Acosta and other prosecutors) underestimated... the way the girls were going to handle this by suing them," @jkbjournalist tells @maddow #Epstein

1. A judge just ruled that Trump’s current Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta violated the law by giving a sweetheart non-prosecution deal to serial sex offender Jeffery Epstein and hid the deal from the many young female victims Epstein assaulted/abused . . .
2. Every federal prosecutor knows that the Crime Victims’ Rights Act (CVRA) requires that victims be consulted about any proposed plea agreement. In fact, if a victim disagrees with a proposed plea agreement, the CVRA gives the victim the right to object to and oppose the deal...
3. If a victim objects, then the judge must decide whether to allow or disallow the prosecutor to resolve the case with the proposed plea deal. Moreover, if the judge allows the plea deal over the victim’s objection, the victim has a right to appeal the judge’s decision...

Jeffrey Epstein is a free man, despite sexually abusing dozens of underage girls according to police and prosecutors. His victims have never had a voice, until now.

On a muggy October morning in 2007, Miami’s top federal prosecutor, Alexander Acosta, had a breakfast appointment with a former colleague, Washington, D.C., attorney Jay Lefkowitz.
It was an unusual meeting for the then-38-year-old prosecutor, a rising Republican star who had served in several White House posts before being named U.S. attorney in Miami by President George W. Bush.

Not only does the media NOT TALK ABOUT TRUMP BEING AN ACCUSED RAPIST, THEY REFUSE TO TALK ABOUT HIM BEING AN ACCUSED PEDOPHILE.
I'm am ANGRY about this & don't know which is worse, public apathy or media apathy.
