if you get tired, learn to rest, not to quit.
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world.
Indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.
Margaret Mead
“Trump, the president, had parties at Maralago called ‘calendar girls’…Epstein would bring the children in and trump would auction them off. He measured the children’s vulva and vaginas by entering a finger and rated the children on tightness…”

All the lessons of history in four sentences:
Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad with power.
The mills of God grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly small.
The bee fertilizes the flower it robs.
When it is dark enough, you can see the stars.
— Charles A. Beard
“There are credible allegations made against Donald Trump that he mutilated a child’s nipples while raping her. Allegations so serious, his inner circle had to meet in the Situation Room to discuss [Epstein files]…”

“Do not obey in advance. Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do.”
Timothy Snyder
“We now know that Vance has been deeply involved in Epstein strategy and this White House coverup. He and top officials have been using the Situation Room to meet… The VP owes the survivors and the American people answers.”

“When Marla Maples told Trump she was pregnant in 1993… the conversation between Trump and Epstein took a darker turn…
‘The two friends debated pushing her down the stairs — this was Trump’s idea, Epstein more cautiously suggesting that his friend was, simply, screwed.’”

“To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness… The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live…is…victory.” Howard Zinn
“Do not accept brutality and cruelty as normal even if it is sanctioned. Protect the vulnerable and encourage the afraid. If you are brave, stand up for others. If you cannot be brave — and it is often hard to be brave — be kind.”

Lesson 1: Do not obey in advance.

A 1993 conversation between Trump and Jeffrey Epstein about Maples’ pregnancy took a dark turn, according to Michael Wolff.
This is Trump’s Watergate.
Today, the @nytimes.com released a truly stunning report on the Epstein cover-up by the White House.
Collusion, breaking the law, evading subpoenas—it’s all in there. Read the report here: www.nytimes.com/2026/06/10/m...
included Elon Musk. Don jr. Trump, Ivanka Trump. and Eric Trump were there. Attorney Allan Dershowitz was also there with Attorney Bob Shapiro. We were taken in rooms, forced to give ora sex to Donald J Trump. Forced to allow them to penetrate us. I was 13 years old when Donald J Trump raped me.” 🤢🤬

Having studied authoritarian states for over a decade, I would never exaggerate the severity of the threat we now face. But an American kleptocracy is exactly where president-elect Trump and his backe...
NYT: “During a trip to the bathroom, they ran into Mr. Trump’s new wife, whom they had met earlier. Ms Maples clasped her hands, Ms Coleman recalled, and looked her in the eye. ‘Whatever you do, do not let her around any of these men, and especially my husband,’ she told Ms Coleman. ‘Protect her.’”
Rep. Melanie Stansbury (NM-01)
Trump’s inner circle was meeting in the SITUATION ROOM to plot the ways they were going to protect him from what was in the Epstein files.
This is a MASSIVE SCANDAL.

“Epstein coerced her into attending 4 parties at Epstein’s home. Trump attended all 4, the woman said. At 2 of them Epstein directed her to have sex with other guests… She feared for her family’s safety after Trump said some of his critics could be executed for sedition.”
