Epstein survivors released a Super Bowl ad demanding justice and accountability. Years later, survivors are still waiting while institutions stay silent. This isn’t closure. It’s failure. Watch the ad. Share it everywhere. Demand justice.

📍Senator Fetterman had a VFIB—the leading cause of cardiac arrest—he almost died if not for his implanted defibrillator, which can cost $34,000 to over $51,000. Days ago, he also just voted with GOP to gut health insurance tax credits for millions. Hope he has a change of heart.
