guy turns out to be exactly who a bunch of us Black women said he was: an American story
This is the stuff that marks someone as a danger.
Not even just that he intends to sneak back into an organizing space where he’s been told that he’s unwanted; the need to publicly brag about it, and make sure everyone knows.
You cannot do collaborative work with someone who only centers himself.

Horrifying beyond words.
Kelly Vargas writes about what happened to her, her husband, and their 6yo daughter in the family camp in Texas.
Filth, illness, medical abuse—her child has lasting complications from being injured by a staff member.
We don't know the half of what's happening in the camps, but we know enough.

I say this as a victim and as a lawyer and as a journalist and as a woman in public, no one, literally no one in power, cares about victims of sexual violence. This is why they promise women more police and prisons (allegedly to help them) while fancy men who are friends with Epstein go free.

One of the things bothering me about how people are responding to the Epstein files is that there are tons of conspiracies being created and spread about what’s in them, rather than people just believing the victims like they could have been doing for years now
