There have already been many protests in Merrimack, New Hampshire to try to stop this.
The idea of putting an ICE facility in Southern New Hampshire is an abomination.
No one in Hillsborough County wants anything to do with this.

Survivors know there are people who are talking about how outraged they are about Epstein or Trump who were able to overlook allegations made against their own friends. We don't just live in a society that allows rich people to get away with these crimes, we live in a rape/abuse culture.

This list is VERY much incomplete. A lot of the people affected aren't on Bluesky, and I need to update my master list, but this is a decent way to follow (and credit!) some great journalists.

MAGA is actually very morally consistent when you remember their values are defending Trump and vilifying minorities & leftists. It isn't actually very shocking that they don't care (or believe) Trump is guilty.

Interesting to watch Musk spin his newly released correspondence with Epstein.
What he is not addressing is that he very much requested to visit and party with Epstein, while SpaceX gave a tour to Epstein in 2013.
