Thank you for so eloquently stating the tragedy that is happening right now. I have no doubt Trump is guilty of atrocious acts against those children, now women. Why would so many lie. Trumps administration are all guilty. They know the truth and choose to ignore it. Now is the time to protest!!
Halfway through today's piece, I couldn't breathe. The cruelty of taking an abused young woman's testimony and not doing anything about it. It took courage for her to come forward. Shame!
I think your last sentence says it all. This country is now subservient to power. Rump is wielding it in nasty, cruel ways of vengeance and retribution. Poor survivors have no chance. I’ve come to believe this is why repugs keep silent. The power is wielded on all with no compassion or mercy. And I am still left wondering who killed Jeffrey Epstein??
And thousands of women, who aren't dumb, consistently say or think, "What can I do for you today, Mr. President". Men with children and grandchildren who are girls do the same. WTF is wrong with them?
Dear Shanley, You still hurt. You do not deserve to be in constant emotional pain. You deserve to EXPERIENCE your anger at having been so egregiously wronged. Words should melt the pain. In my experience they did not. For me the industrial solvent was Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP). I KNOW I NEED NOT SAY MORE. You have my e-mail if you need it.

The 'Me Too' movement started as a spark, but soon was able to create its own oxygen.
The Epstein files have also created its own fuel for survival. Unfortunately, for the victims, they will also be consumed in this process.
I remember a time when some of our most ugly, hateful crimes were caught on tape and the whole U.S. recoiled. Now, we spin...
Well done Shanley!
Verifiable Accounting! Prosecute these monsters.

There is power in numbers. What do WE THE PEOPLE do to bring about justice??
