Tal Lavin @swordsjew.bsky.social · 24/07/2025i really truly wish any of the epstein furore was caused by a genuine concern for cruelty for teenage girls, for exploited kids. it would be a different country if it was, of course, but the discourse is sometimes jarring 453848657
Sande @sande0724.bsky.social · 24/07/2025I am a survivor of CSA. My abuser is dead. I see & hear him no more. I cannot imagine the damage being done to any victims of Trump. His face, his voice, his lies, 24/7. The entire Republican Party protecting him. This is an unspeakable disgrace, cruel beyond words. Give them justice. 0131
deeHELLcat @deehellcat.bsky.social · 24/07/2025truth. I'm very thankful every time I see Lawrence O'Donnell cover this because he always emphasizes who the real victims are and how much care and support they deserve. 0100
Tal Lavin @swordsjew.bsky.social · 24/07/2025im not trying to be sententious and its frankly delightful to see trump wriggle in the nets of a scandal for once in some lasting way but the disjunct is intense 779622
Minty Day @mintyday.bsky.social · 24/07/2025They def don’t care about children or teens. ESP not girls. This is all to jerk each other around. That’s it. 0170
Kevin Cantú @killerswan.bsky.social · 24/07/2025yeah, I don’t trust any of the people who can’t center the actual girls who survived Epstein 060
Doug Holst @doug-holst.bsky.social · 24/07/2025This seems good. bsky.app/profile/last...The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell@lastwordmsnow.bsky.socialTONIGHT: Brad Edwards, an attorney who represented over 200 survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse, talks to @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com on The #LastWord at 10pm ET.abcnews.go.comWhat we know and don't know about Jeffrey Epstein, according to key victims' attorneyA lawyer who's represented more than 200 survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's sex abuse explains what is known about the case -- including claims of a so-called "client list." 010
Anya @abogmonster.bsky.social · 24/07/2025Been thinking abt this a lot. Was it you that said if folks realized it was teens and not 5yo they’d prob care less? Ugh. 180
Robert Black @hurricanexyz.bsky.social · 24/07/2025This is part of why I felt it was important to push back against the Glonzo framing. It's not Glonzo! It's real! There are real victims here! Real crimes, real suffering 0171
Pirate Jenny 💀 @ljndawson.bsky.social · 24/07/2025I hate that Virginia Giuffre was driven to a premature death and will not be around to see any justice that might be done. 1870
MB Brown @mbbrownsf.bsky.social · 24/07/2025My respect for Lawrence O’Donnell has shot up (and it was fairly high to begin with) because he’s been reading testimony from Maxwell & Epstein’s victims, emphasizing their ages, and with a lot of anger and sorrow and rage. Nothing prurient, just keeping the victims centered. 1332
Mona Jones @mojonz.bsky.social · 24/07/2025Calling underage victims "young women", as if they had any agency or could give consent, especially sends my blood pressure soaring. 0301
Jason Sorensen @squarememel.bsky.social · 24/07/2025Definitely- I think both things are true? 1) It's good when a would-be dictator's coalition fractures 2) We should be really freaking careful that it's over a deeply antisemitic permutation of Pizzagate breaking far-right containment 1200
Dr.Butcher M.D., Medical Deviate @drbutchermd.bsky.social · 24/07/2025I was just thinking about how this is mostly just about the salaciousness of it all. Like how they sent people like "Libs of Tiktok" with those junk papers and she and others held it up like a lottery check. It's smut to them. 090
Jarz @jarz.bsky.social · 24/07/2025Welcome to a culture that made "true crime" the salacious genre that it is. 000
Charles Duncan @charlie2snakes.bsky.social · 24/07/2025People can't metabolize a world ruled by monsters so divorced from human feelings that they view children as a delicacy for their refined palates, to allow it to continue is unconscionable, but what can we do to stop it? Not thinking about it protects us from the guilt we should all feel. 010
JazzyGurl 🇨🇦🍁 @jazzygurl.bsky.social · 24/07/2025if it was a country that cared about teenaged girls this would never happened in the first place.. 000
Chris Tyrell @raisencain.bsky.social · 24/07/2025The bigger picture is it is a world problem and quite widespread. 000
grumpyoldscientist.bsky.social @grumpyoldscientist.bsky.social · 24/07/2025The fact that the victims are called “ underaged women” tells you everything you need to know. 0110
Kara Fagan 🇨🇦 Liberal @fagankara.bsky.social · 24/07/2025They’re not worried that he might be a sexual predator. If he’d announced it from the start, they’d have been fine. What they’re ANGRY about is that they’ve been waiting for all the Dems to be arrested for Epstein stuff and he’s made fools of them. 1101
Ducky Krup @duckykrup.bsky.social · 24/07/2025I think some of the disconnect is also that almost all of these girls were well off… and we have an entirely different baseline for abuse if it involves a promise of modeling and acting. 100
Zach-o'-lantern @zachlipton.com · 24/07/2025been thinking about this a lot (and ofc you wrote a book on this): "Children's obedience is what they believe in: they'll just tell you. Fathers' right to rule their families is what they believe in[...] Pedophilia is the natural outcome of all these ideologies: children are the property of men"liberalcurrents.comWe Need to Talk About Pedocon TheoryThe connection between Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein is no accident, but reveals a deep logic at the heart of reactionary politics. 1695
Leanne Lukas ❤️🔥💜🩵 @leanne-lukas.bsky.social · 24/07/2025They only "care" about child sex trafficking among the wealthy elites insofar that they're still deep in the QAnon rabbit hole, obsessed with "proving" the existence of the satanic pedo child sacrificing cult that secretly rules the world. They care more about secrets and coverups than real crimes. 170
Laura - Artist & Designer! @doodlingawaits.bsky.social · 24/07/2025I agree. It's why I really dislike how high profile rape and SA cases are covered. They don't really do much in actually addressing misogyny or systemic abuse of power nor help victims feel safer in coming forward. These people only care about making the lefties look like bigger monsters 000
Tzippy Shmilovitz @tzipshmil.bsky.social · 24/07/2025💯. I don’t think America will care about that anytime soon. 000
biz5th.bsky.social @biz5th.bsky.social · 24/07/2025Trump's in a panic about this because most of us - MAGA and otherwise - think child trafficking is horrific. I think I understand your unspoken perspective about Christian Evangelical abuse of children (I read your book), but in this case Epstein/Trump are the consensus bad guys. 000
Jennifer @jennifer-daisy.bsky.social · 24/07/2025Men have been raping girls/children for ever & institutions - think the Catholic Church- have been covering it up since day 1 1 in 10 men admit to seeing children's bodies as sexually desirable This is ordinary everyday for millions of girls 010
SigmundFrood @sigmundfrood.cryptoanarchy.network · 24/07/2025It’s great too how “protecting the identity of the victims” is the excuse for not releasing the file. The file that names the people who they were victims of. 070
boomdeyada.bsky.social @boomdeyada.bsky.social · 24/07/2025Amen. I hope Trump and every other person who abused these girls or helped it happen are brought to justice. And also the glee with which people talk the abuse feels so wrong. I can only imagine how painful it must be for survivors. 020
Lisa Craig - Proceed in working trot @dqscribbler.bsky.social · 24/07/2025I am trying to really focus on the sheer number of people who are out here, yelling, "Believe the women!" and "We don't care which perverts are on the list, we want them all prosecuted!" That gives me heart. Outside the beltway, there is some genuineness. 030
Sheepstealer's #1 Fan @sneakys.bsky.social · 24/07/2025These are the same people who are in a fury over trans women in women’s sports, when you know not a single one of them gives a shit about Title IX and just wants an excuse to bully trans kids 0430
L Verb @lvert519.bsky.social · 24/07/2025This is very true bc frankly we see even more than ever women are not protected , and if you’re a young poor girl like most of these victims … it’s like you don’t exist 020
lilybelle212.bsky.social @lilybelle212.bsky.social · 24/07/2025This is part of the discourse—men who have nothing but contempt for women, girls and exploited kids presenting themselves as defenders. Anti-Semites presenting themselves as defenders of Jews. 020
Johannah O'Donnell @johannahodonnell.bsky.social · 24/07/2025 It can feel weird to see people joking about stuff that hits a bit too close to home. That said, I find comfort in the idea that *maybe* these ghouls will actually face some consequences. It's been a lot more triggering watching them continue to get away with it 170
Jack JR Swisher, transfenderman 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 @jackjrswisher.bsky.social · 24/07/2025For me it is. I was raised a girl, AFAB. I was molested, threatened with rape, and eventually raped at 19. And I never got justice because men hate women. They take their mommy issues out on every other person they seem a girl and it’s sickening. All men benefit from female abuse. 1150
Dru @medru.bsky.social · 24/07/2025Andrew Tate is all the rage. He pops up now and then. That's the culture we live in. And it goes on and on. 000
