Keep talking about these folks. We already know the current administration doesn’t care about Black & Brown folks so it’s our job for a while to keep a spotlight on them.

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.
