Virginia Giuffre, one of Jeffrey Epstein's most prominent abuse survivors, dies by suicide Other Epstein victims credited Giuffre with giving them the courage to speak out.

Let's not forget that there are real human tragedies behind everything we're discussing.

Rock retaining wall, with rebuilt upper section at a family camp in Maine. Lower portion has moss (indicating it's age) upper, new section has wet concrete between various stones placed by the author of this post

It's strange the grief one feels, having built and maintained and restored other people's property (with its attendant pride in the craft/attention) coupled with the sting of not (probably) never owning one's own property to enjoy.... Anywho, here's a rockwall I'm fixing....

Meanwhile, innocent people are facing a 148,432% increase in assaults from reckless ICE goons.
