The Supreme Court’s rejection of Ghislaine Maxwell’s appeal request is a desperately needed reminder that convicted pedophile sex traffickers belong behind bars.

Given current politics, I’m pleasantly surprised to see the safety of children finally prioritized over protection of powerful abusers.

If you read my profile you’ll see I’m an advocate for sexual assault survivors. I specifically write about SA trauma being an injury that causes long-term physical damage. Nobody is talking about that. Most people see it as crime first rather than a brain & nervous system injury.

Nobody talks about how exhausting it is to be stuck in survival mode.

Your body keeps pumping out stress hormones like you’re in crisis 24/7.

Over time, this can lead to chronic fatigue, digestive & immune issues, brain fog, & much more.

That’s what constant survival mode can look like.

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

This is the sweetest message. Thank you!

Lawrence: One of the examples you've put out is in Speaker Mike Johnson's Louisiana district, a 60 year old couple earning 82,000 a year. Their health care premiums will rise by almost $20,000 by 300% because of what their congressman is doing.

Sending thoughts & prayers to the war-ravaged city of Portland, Oregon now under siege from attack by Antifa & other domestic terrorists. Take solace in dear leader's words: "Nothing bad can happen. It can only good happen." (and "DON'T TAKE TYLENOL"). Let the healing begin...

I say Epstein’s name now because I couldn’t for 30 years.

For decades, survivors have carried the shame while the people who harmed us kept their power.

Saying his name isn’t about him. It’s about reclaiming the truth he tried to erase.

I’m not part of his legacy.
I’m part of the reckoning.

Can't we just get healthcare

💯 We need public pressure on everyone who knew what was happening and did nothing - for decades!

I hear you. The “you” I’m referring to in my quote from the Guardian article about being an Epstein survivor navigating this egregious miscarriage and delay of justice is Kash Patel. It is a direct response to his exact statement of “no credible evidence”.

Say more. I don’t understand the “you” in your comment because you can’t possibly be talking about me, a person you know nothing about.

Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski cast the deciding vote to keep the Epstein files sealed. We dug into why—and uncovered a tangled web linking her to Ghislaine Maxwell, her husband, a powerful donor, and big money in Alaska.

YouTube video by MSNBC The Epstein survivor who 'changed' Nicolle Wallace speaks out

Thank you @nicollewallace.bsky.social and @jessmichaelsspeaks.bsky.social for this.

I see your power today Jess and I can't help but applaud you for finding it after what Epstein put you through. I hope, I expect, that you will see justice done. Keep up the great work!

This is why releasing the Epstein files are so important.

Thank you @jimacosta.bsky.social for shedding light on the darkness that is Epstein and is this social problem that society must face and address.

Thank you @jessmichaelsspeaks.bsky.social for your courage. As I watched you speak, as you

‘Find it in your heart to seek the truth’: Epstein survivor pushes for lawmakers to release files Jess Michaels says authorities are ‘completely ignoring’ hers and dozens of other victims’ statements about Epstein’s trafficking

“If there is no credible evidence of trafficking, then why do you worry that there are men in these files that could be harmed?”

When we say “believe women,” we mean:
Trust that harm is real.
Trust that pain is present.
We aren’t saying we don’t want accountability.
We’re saying that to ever get there, we first have to recognize the injury.

It is not safe. We need the Justice System, politicians, journalists, and the media to do their jobs rather than us going through the constant painful torturous delay of justice and accountability. We need the public to put pressure on them rather than us.

You not understanding is the problem, sir.

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

How he/his writers weaved all current events into that statement was a work of art!!

Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Official statement from Epstein/Maxwell survivors re: Kash Patel testimony

You don’t need proof for me to tell you I was r*ped. You don’t need every detail.
You can simply choose to believe someone when they tell you they’ve been harmed.

Not “accuser”. Epstein/Maxwell survivor. Language matters.
