Quick point of clarification for pundits, politicians, journalists, & any others commenting on the Epstein Trump files:
The victims were NOT "young women". They were CHILDREN.
As such, they were not capable of giving legal consent. Sex without consent is rape.
Words matter. Get them right.

This past general election was an eyeopener for me. I came to realize that Dems are just as responsible for the way things are in this country as Republicans. What happened tonight was proof of that.

Yeah I don’t like to single issue vote but I swear to God…abolishing ICE like…gone, vaporized, prosecuted even…is going to be high, high on my list and I think I refuse to vote for anyone not with that agenda. I will be goddamned these pussy ass evil clowns get to stay. Fuck that.
I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video.
I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.
But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

I've seen so many people online using the government shutdown as an opportunity to demonize people who receive SNAP benefits, WIC and any kind of government assistance.
Here's the thing:
I agree with those people.
We need to end the WHITE welfare state
