There’s something extremely gross in the way some of the people on here are gleefully posting about Epstein.
Like they completely forgot that this is a story about child rape, hundreds of survivors, and a bunch of misogynists in power who are stripping women (and children!) of their legal rights.

Remember the immigration raid on the apartment complex in Chicago almost two months ago? The one with the Black Hawk helicopter and federal agents rappelling on ropes? @ProPublica decided to take a deeper look. We found little evidence to support the government’s claims. 🧵
