This man was courageous enough to stand up to Trump and Vance.
So it's important to post this message and photo to 27 million people.
Don't just "like" it -- that only means that YOU'VE seen it.
Postb it, blow it up and get it out there!

The Epstein files reveal a world of privilege & abuse possibly worse than many if us could imagine, full of people banking off tax cuts and avoidance, and yet Trump & co want you to blame immigrants for higher costs, taxes, and any other ills. I hope we’re smart enough as a country to know better.

Remember it was fine for Kyle Rittenhouse to shoot 3 men with a firearm but it was necessary to execute Alex Pretti for videoing with his phone (then lie about it). And that’s fine with the current American Administration. 😡

There’s a story in Ireland
A child comes home from school and says the teacher told them “Na bí ag Caint”.
“And what does that mean?” The parent asks
“Don’t be a c*nt” says the child
“No, says the parent, “in Irish it means “ stop talking““
The child’s version is the more important lesson.
