Sarah Ransome Was Raped 3 Times Daily On Epstein's Island
“I was r*ped sometimes 3 times a day on that island… and I was not the only girl on that island… Ghislaine must die in prison, because I’ve been in hell and back for the last 17 years.”
Listen to the survivors.

Charlie Kirk emboldened hate by cloaking his beliefs as "Christian".
Jesus embraced the marginalized.
He was the opposite of Kirk.
No Charlie should not have been murdered for his rhetoric.
But he did embrace hate. And I won't martyr him.

My opinion: even a seasoned trauma surgeon standing relatively close to Kirk would have been hard pressed to save his life with the likely extremely limited supply of makeshift tools one could have expected to find.
The amount of internal damage and location of the noted vessels=bad combination

Having watched various angles from today's assassination, as a former Navy Corpsman (Medic) I noted the following:
The bright red color of the blood and force with which it was expelled indicated that one or more arteries were struck. (cartotid, subclavian...or even aortic arch possibilities)

So they haven’t caught the guy and you don’t have a ton of leads? Maybe sending all your federal law enforcement agents to help ICE and dismantling the JTTF and firing the head FBI field office for political reasons wasn’t the best idea.

BREAKING NEWS CONSUMER’S HANDBOOK
1. In the immediate aftermath, news outlets will get it wrong.
2. Don't trust anonymous sources.
3. Don't trust stories that cite another news outlet as the source of the information.
4. There's almost never a second shooter.
5. Pay attention to the language the media uses.
• “We are getting reports” … could mean anything.
• “We are seeking confirmation” … means they don’t have it.
• “[News outlet] has learned” … means it has a scoop or is going out on limb.
6. Look for news outlets close to the incident.
7. Compare multiple sources.
8. Big news brings out the fakers. And photoshoppers.
9. Beware reflexive retweeting. Some of this is on you.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:sc4lluoyzn2kbz4ue2be5ubh/bafkreifbpgtjz54sv6ypvli3w5eydt5ceb7q36lwxcshaxlowfud4glmua@jpeg)

The president went on TV to attack political opponents and blame them for the killing of Charlie Kirk, even though we don’t know who shot him.
