Conflict resolution skills are an essential part of what activists need to learn. They're rarely taught in school. Except.
I wrote my master's thesis on school mediation programs. In 1996 there were 5000 of them. One of the oldest is in San Francisco

Yeah, what they really wanted and apparently even expected was that folks would rally around Gaiman and they'd be able to do a follow-up like "see, progressives/freaks/whoever don't care about sexual abuse!" but then everyone dropped him like a hot rock

Also perhaps I'm getting too in the weeds, but the original podcast about Gaiman was based in the UK, and the libel/defamation laws in that country are NO JOKE with a side of OH GOD TERROR. You think nobody vetted all this? Also: A general rule of thumb in investigative work, important to remember +

ICE is afraid of children protesting
“Next time, I’ll be back with a gas mask.”
ICE tear gassed a bunch of children on Saturday. This was a massive escalation of force. They were shooting tear gas at the back of the crowd, it took these unmasked people maybe 3-5 minutes in the cloud of tear gas to escape in without trampling. www.theverge.com/policy/87278...

A lot of wisdom being dropped here about deescalation. At artful protests I organized in the early 2010s, where people showed up expecting a family-friendly vibe, we sometimes had folks who were bloc'd up who I had to talk to. They always heard me out because we had mutual respect. They knew me.

Putting it in perspective:
Donald Trump’s name appears over 38,000 times in the Epstein files, while “God” is mentioned only 4,000 times in the whole Bible.

Alex Pretti, smiling
The man murdered by ICE in Minneapolis, Minnesota while he bravely shielded women from being brutally attacked by Trump regime thugs has been identified as Alex Pretti.
He was a US citizen, a registered nurse, an athlete, a son, a brother, and a hero. The regime murdered him. #3E #GoodVsEvil

The Minneapolis man, who was murdered this morning by ICE agents in the street, was 37-year-old Alex Pretti, an intensive care unit (ICU) nurse and had previously worked at US Dept of Veterans Affairs as a nurse.

Alex Pretti from his early days working at the VA
Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

Sacha Riley. If this is real it should be on every news outlet in the world. Would appreciate some clarification. Thanks

Yes. He says his name, and his Father's name are in the flight logs which are easily verified. His Father was the pilot for a lot of the travel to and from the parties prior to Epstein owning his island.
One issue: people are spelling his name incorrectly: Riley not Reilly, & Sascha, not Sacha.

William Sacha Riley
Trafficked by Epstein age 9.
A decorated war vet.
Women were victims of Epstein/Maxwell/Trump also.
The audio of his testimony is harrowing - the US press need to PRESS for the #Epstein files to be released.
