When a trans woman first accused Jeffrey Epstein of rape, the media mocked her - LGBTQ Nation The New York Post called her a "man" and a "gender-bend shocker."

How many lives of women and girls could have been spared the horrors of Epstein and his fellow abusers if the media had not mocked this trans woman in 2007 and listened to her insteadโ€ฆ?

Listen to trans people, we are always the canaries in the coalmine.

Youโ€™re not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger. @madycast.com exposes the truth in our in-depth report.

Mandelsonโ€™s malign influence runs right through the heart of this Government.

Where It Ends Answering the enabler's constant question, and contemplating the depraved depths of the billionaire mindset.

Whenever abuse starts getting exposed in a culture of abuse, the question posed is "where does it all end?" to avoid asking โ€œ*how* will we make this end?โ€

But I'll answer. Where does it end?

It ends when we excise the abusive ice, from hummock to bummock. www.the-reframe.com/where-it-ends/

My other overview. Journalists like @carolecadwalla.bsky.social have documented the information warfare aspect of the hybrid war launched by Trump/Russia/Brexit

But Epstein provides much of the international base to this superstructure, as he provided the financial architecture for it all to happen

While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities.
