Do you have 2 minutes to seek justice for these victims of Epstein's CHILD MOLESTATION?

SIMPLY dial 202-225-3121 for your 2 Senators & your Congressional rep.

I beg you to call. As an SA survivor, I wish I had justice.

JEFFREY EPSTEIN destroyed 1000+ lives!

These 1000 victims deserve justice!

Excellent piece.
I love and admire Ben for many reasons, and one of them is how perfectly he is able to distill the pathetic-ness of the right and instill hope and solidarity in everyone else around him.

Anyway, go read his interview with the biggest Spanish newspaper here: english.elpais.com/technology/2...

Private equity firm Sycamore Partners bought Walgreens.

Now Walgreens has stopped giving most workers paid vacation on Thanksgiving, Christmas and other major holidays.

Private equity takeovers are a disaster for workers, and customers.
