  2. CW: sexual assault

    June 6th, Trump calls Graham Platner a pig — on the record, when the pig was useful. July, a woman credibly accuses Platner of rape, and suddenly Trump discovers doubt: "a question of whether you believe the woman."

    The man is liable for sexual abuse. Owes E. Jean Carroll $5.8 million. Accused by 27 women.

  3. Just caught myself up on the #TaylorFrankiePaul situation and my main takeaway is that the US justice system totally CAN #BelieveSurvivors and deliver swift consequences to domestic abusers who are also celebrities/public figures so what the actual fuck is the holdup w those #Epstein files

  6. CW: Epstein Files & SA Survivors' Triggers

    @PhoenixSerenity

    First, I sorry you (or anyone) had to go through any of that.
    My own experience of SA was when I was so young I have only fragmentary memories. So I grew up able to deceive myself that my childhood was fine -- which as you note makes it easier to discount (and maybe in my case made me more likely to discount) the stories of survivors.
    But having spent many years healing I know that anyone willing to face the rejection, denial, and counter accusations that come with accusing even a normal citizen would not do so idly.

    So I tell people that the fact that someone has fought to get their story into these documents is proof enough of the truth they tell.

    Your story, those in some of the replies, and the stories of victims/survivors of the Epstein class show great courage. I hope most people hear them that way. I know the Epstein class do, even if they won't admit it. They know what happened, and they fear this truth being known.

    So I second your hashtags: #BelieveVictims #BelieveSurvivors #ProsecuteTheEpsteinClass

  7. CW: Epstein Files & SA Survivors' Triggers

    I need to vent about the #EpsteinFiles as a teen survivor of SA, who never got to see justice delivered. The guy who raped me died last year without ever being put in prison. He SAed multiple teens & young women, after assaulting me when I was 15 yrs old. He had more social status power than I had. So many people protected him instead of supporting me & others that he SAed & physically beat up. I found out over a decade after he SAed me that he was friends with many corrupt cops & they aided/abetted his multiple crimes over 3 decades. Us teens who were victimized by the same guy didn't have much of a chance - even if we had courage + solid support, to go more public back when we were teens.
    Corrupt government run system protect the predators over victims. We supported each other in private to try to recover from SA inflicted traumas.

    Those SA traumas never fully leave you...
    You just learn how to deal with it a bit better, over time or else it can drown you with heavy emotions & block you from taking back some of your brutally stolen personal power.

    I'm very pissed off about people harshly judging the victims/survivors of Epstein's(and his shitty cohorts) sex crimes. People who have never been SAed don't get that it can take many years for people to speak up about what happened to them & some people take their unspoken trauma experiences to their graves. It took tremendous courage for Epstein survivors to speak out in public. I hate people who don't understand how difficult it is to talk about SA traumas in public in the first place - much less do so when the perpetrators are super rich, very powerful public figures. It took me 15 years to speak up in public about what happened to me as a teen.

  10. Violence against women is not a “women’s issue” — it’s a societal one. Today we remember, and we commit to doing the work. #December6 #EndGBV #BelieveSurvivors

  11. @redditIndiaBot Absolutely horrifying and heartbreaking. This is why we need stronger protections for vulnerable workers and stricter accountability for those in positions of power. No one should ever have to fear for their safety at their workplace. My thoughts are with this brave young girl—we must demand justice and systemic change. #JusticeForHer #EndWorkplaceViolence #BelieveSurvivors

  13. Brittany Higgins has dropped her appeal against Linda Reynolds’ defamation victory, effectively greenlighting bankruptcy proceedings that could see Higgins & Sharaz pursued for over $1M in legal costs. The WA Supreme Court found no evidence Reynolds covered up Higgins’ 2019 rape—despite a separate civil finding that Lehrmann assaulted her on the balance of probabilities.
    This outcome punishes a survivor for speaking out, while rewarding a powerful ex-minister who weaponised defamation law to silence criticism. Reynolds now demands a parliamentary inquiry into Labor “weaponising” the case—classic deflection from systemic failures in handling sexual assault in Parliament House.
    Solidarity with survivors shouldn’t come with a million-dollar gag order.

  15. #Trump also [of course attacked the judge] said U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan, who oversaw both trials, made other mistakes, including by striking his testimony that in speaking about Carroll, "I just wanted to defend myself, my family, & frankly the presidency."

  16. …In his latest appeal, #Trump argued that the #SCOTUS July 2024 decision providing him with substantial #criminal #immunity shielded him from liability in Carroll's civil case.

    He also said he spoke about #EJeanCarroll in 2019 in his capacity as president, & that failing to immunize him could undermine the independence of the #ExecutiveBranch.

  17. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan rejected Trump's ridiculous argument that the January 2024 verdict should be overturned because he deserved presidential #immunity from Carroll's lawsuit.

    The same court on June 13 upheld Carroll's separate $5 million jury verdict against #Trump in May 2023 for a similar #defamation & for #SexualAssault.

  18. #Trump fails to overturn E. Jean Carroll's $83.3 million verdict

    A federal appeals court on Monday refused to throw out an $83.3 million jury verdict against U.S. President Donald Trump for damaging the reputation of the writer #EJeanCarroll in 2019 when he denied her rape claim.

  20. #Trump again calls #Epstein case a ‘hoax’ as #survivors demand #accountability

    Trump decried the #JeffreyEpstein scandal as a "Democrat hoax" on Wednesday, saying, "Really, I think it's enough."

    Trump said that "thousands & thousands of documents" had been released but that the "Democratic hoax" would continue.

    "No matter what you do it's going to keep going," Trump said, adding, "Really, I think it's enough."

  21. The pages were originally handed over to lawmakers last month, but #Republicans & #Democrats on the #House #Oversight Committee took more than a week to privately review 33,000 files. The committee’s #GOP majority said it was coordinating with the #DOJ to redact information that could compromise the victims or ongoing #criminal matters.

  22. The trove of materials, however, is unlikely to satisfy those clamoring for more information about the case. The first batch of files, subpoenaed by the #House #Oversight & Government Reform Committee, contains almost exclusively information that has already been released publicly.

  23. “#GhislaineMaxwell was federally indicted on two #perjury counts as a result of her #testimony during her civil #deposition. Having been convicted of #SexTrafficking, she is now in jail presumably hoping that she will receive a #pardon from President #Trump. I can't imagine that her testimony will be given much weight by anyone with any knowledge whatsoever of her involvement with #JeffreyEpstein.”

  24. It is not known what was in the files provided to the panel, which have not been publicly released. A spox said the committee intended to do so after a thorough review to ensure any victims’ identification & #ChildSexualAbuse material were redacted, & after consulting with the #DOJ to ensure that any documents released would not damage ongoing #criminal cases & investigations.
