It’s almost as if a country built on slavery and by slaves-that never held its racists to account-still has has longstanding systemic problems rooted in racism. (And misogyny)

Comey deserves all the ire. He couldn’t keep his Republican politics and/or misogyny at bay and decided to sway the election through an abuse of power. Screw that dude.

Even if somebody has a diagnosis of narcissistic personality disorder, that does not account for their choice to engage in hate and bigotry.

Friendly reminder, that mental illness is not a choice. Hate and bigotry are not mental illness and we need to be careful not to dismiss responsibility through misattribution.

The perpetrators clearly don’t want the information getting out and anyone who has access to those files can control a number of very powerful people worldwide so they won’t have motivation either. I don’t know that we’re ever getting whole real story.

I went down a rabbit hole of her interviews after I read the book so I apologize if I misattributed it to the book. I pointed out in this article, she was either misquoted or changed her claim in her 2016 deposition, but she denied he was involved. abcnews.go.com/US/virginia-...
What Virginia Giuffre has said about Trump and Jeffrey Epstein
Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre was quoted as saying Trump flirted with her but then said that was inaccurate.

Maybe, but Giuffre detailed an awful lot in her memoir and never shared that she was alone that long with Trump. Plus that redacted space does not look long enough for her name unless she goes by a nickname. I think the administration is trying to make it her because she spoke highly of Trump.

Thanks for the offer! I actually am going to an advocacy group meeting instead tonight and we are making PIRC hotline bracelets, writing postcards to judges/politicians, and assembling ICE whistle/zine packs. I love how active people have become at the grassroots level.

Plus, and I’m no expert, but the redacted space doesn’t look sufficient for the name Virginia, although I suppose she could’ve gone by a nickname.

I’m fairly certain that is just to create a narrative because Giuffre was clear that she was never involved with Trump inappropriately. She was notably only part of Epstein‘s orbit from 2000 to 2002 when Trump was entering politics for his first presidential run with the Reform Party though.

It’s not a cure, but there is some evidence that olfactory training can help. Not only that, but because of how the olfactory cranial nerve wires into the brain, olfactory training may also help boost memory. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjVi...
