We can show our thanks by showing our respect.

Loving it!

The structure and kind of people that enabled Epstein to do what he did while everyone knew what was going on, is exactly the same structure and kind of people around Trump who enable and embolden him to do incredible damage to our country and the world.

“In many ways Donald Trump reminds me of male chimpanzees and their dominance rituals. In order to impress rivals, perform spectacular displays: stamping, slapping the ground, dragging branches, throwing rocks.” - Jane Goodall
