An Epstein survivor just delivered the line Congress needed to hear:
“Today we stand in a moment that will decide whether our government belongs to the American people, or to those who prey on them.”
That’s the whole fight, distilled to one sentence.
africa is not underdeveloped it is over exploited!
africa is not underdeveloped it is over exploited!
africa is not underdeveloped it is over exploited!
africa is not underdeveloped it is over exploited!
These Epstein survivors are showing photos of themselves as children.
Not “barely legal” women.
Not “junior” women.
Not women capable of consent.
Children. Who were raped & trafficked and who deserve justice.
My tenant has been renting from me for 5 years and she has NEVER given me a problem. Rent always on time, she keeps the house spotless, and anytime something breaks she gets it fixed and just lets me know it’s taken care of. She’s really been a blessing as a tenant. Today she called me crying, saying she’s been sick and had to go on FMLA. She doesn’t qualify for disability, so right now she has no way to pay her rent. I told her not to stress and gave her 90 days rent-free. I’d rather lose the money for a few months than lose a good, respectful tenant who has always handled her business. Sometimes it’s not about profit it’s about compassion.
Walmart keeps wages low so workers qualify for SNAP & Medicaid, then takes tax credits for it.
Those same workers spend their checks back at Walmart, feeding the same machine that underpays them.
That’s not a business model, it’s a loop of exploitation.
like many things in 2020, this should have been a valuable lesson and turning point for us, but instead we memeified it into "nature is healing" jokes and then completely forgot about it once we sufficiently divorced them from their origin
