Hey so this seems like something more people should be talking about 🤔 🗳️ www.npr.org/2025/10/23/n...

BREAKING: The Department of Justice failed to redact the identity of a survivor of Epstein's crimes in a released document, per an exclusive comment to MeidasTouch.

NEW: Epstein survivor Danielle Bensky confirms to me that the DOJ has failed to properly redact her name in the Epstein files. This is her name, and she has confirmed this is an old phone number of hers. Both should have been redacted. Neither were.

It’s called “DARVO” — Deny, Attack, then Reverse the Victim and Offender roles. See Dr. Jennifer Freyd’s work. Sadly this is a classic example. www.jjfreyd.com/darvo

Julie K Brown is the most prolific investigative journalist to cover Epstein! What say you, Bill Barr?

Sad to see our great cultural institutions ruined by this corrupt regime. #Resist

A measure calling for greater accountability to protect domestic violence victims is being adopted county by county, after lawmakers bowed to opposition from the NRA that would have taken the reform statewide. With @wpln.bsky.social

Efforts to arrest and remove a researcher and advocate against online dangers is a shocking violation of First Amendment rights.

I would NOT come forward to this DOJ with abuse allegations. I’ve been through this process, have even spoken at their conferences, but those days are over.

Please read

Same.

Just a reminder: you are NOT unusual, weird, or unlovable if you have: - no one to see on Christmas Day, - no presents, or - no contactable relatives. Very few people live the idealised version on TV. Those of us who live differently—whether by choice or trauma—matter as much.

#MorningVibe My advice to younger & older women alike as we end one year and enter the next. Learn who you really are. Love that woman. Enter the new year with a renewed sense of self. P. S. Men could learn from this as well. ✨Happy Holidays ✨

NEW: Alan Dershowitz tells Jeffrey Epstein prosecutor "You are a real mensch:" Newly released emails show that Florida federal prosecutors had "social" meetings with Epstein's lawyers as they worked to mitigate the sex trafficker's sentence. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/a...

My first career was as a funeral director. It takes a lot to totally cracked me up but this did it!! 🤣

“There are no more files, case closed.” Six months later after Rep. Massie & my Epstein Transparency Act. “There are a million files.”

Our government failed Maria Farmer and so many other women. Ranking Member Garcia is asking the Inspector General of the DOJ to investigate why the FBI failed to act and stop Epstein when reported. We need justice.

Good work!

I love it!!

The survivors deserve better. Demand it for them.

There are so many wonderful people resisting cruelty, dysfunction, and tyranny: americasvoice.org/facts/a-year...

As a historian I've looked at hundreds of thousands of pages of government documents. And I just have to say that aside from being obviously illegal and clearly suggestive of some major crime, this “redaction” business is not a position in which serious people or serious governments find themselves

Don’t forget. Biden’s DoJ was investigating uncharged third parties in the Epstein files up until the last minute. Trump shut down the investigation, sent the files to DC, & fired the prosecutors. They went through them, redacted Trump’s name, then elected not to release them and closed the matter.

“These men risked their lives to speak with us. We have a moral and professional obligation to the sources who entrusted us with their stories. Abandoning them now is a betrayal of the most basic tenet of journalism: giving voice to the voiceless.”

Jane Harman: Two resolutions asserting Congress’s constitutional authority to decide when the United States goes to war were defeated, largely along party-line votes. That is shameful. And dangerous. thehill.com/opinion/cong...

Such eloquence. So appreciative that Annie also addressed Betrayal Trauma and Institutional Betrayal, and was gender inclusive in her discussion of survivors of military sexual assault. Yes, men too. So much to unpack here. Great interview Allison.

Why does this need to be said again?

I’ve blocked some big accounts over victim-insensitive garbage, failed attempts at child rape humor, and the political gain stuff. I asked them politely to consider what they’re posting but grifters gonna grift. #Epstein

Finally some mainstream coverage of what we’ve known for several hours!!

I can say from personal experience that it’s never a good sign when investigative and/or court records “go missing” or are withheld long after the case was charged and settled.

Fun fact: Oscar the Grouch was originally orange:

This photo, file 468, from the Epstein files that includes Donald Trump has apparently now been removed from the DOJ release. AG Bondi, is this true? What else is being covered up? We need transparency for the American public.

Trump’s Epstein files cover up is nothing short of Criminal

“Redacted Black” works!

Statement from Maria Farmer: “This is amazing. Thank you for believing me. I feel redeemed. This is one of the best days of my life. Of course, it's mixed with the fact that I'm devastated about all the other little girls like Virginia who were harmed because the FBI didn't do their job. 1/

Enough pedophiles for one day. This one is extra bleak www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

A few good men. Wishing them the best in their new endeavors.

In case laws still matter…
