From 2019: Jeffrey Epstein liked to describe himself as a “science philanthropist,” and academics liked to take his money.
As more of Epstein’s enablers are uncovered, it’s worth asking why it was so easy for him to infiltrate science in the first place.

I am a survivor of sexual assault, both as a child and an adult.
I'm not surprised at ANY of this news. None of it. Perpetrators have always been protected; even though we like to pretend that there are consequences to those actions, the ones who pay the most are the victims.

Why are we allowing Trump & The Republican Party to move all our military war machine into the Middle East? Why are we allowing Trump to start a new war with Iran. This is crazy. He's moving the B1 bombers, F-18, all stealth crews. We can't sit back and act like he's not starting WWIII!
