A reminder that even if the GOP keeps refusing to release the #EpsteinFiles, in two weeks Epstein victim Virginia Roberts Giuffre's posthumous memoir comes out, describing how Epstein trafficked her and others to numerous prominent men. Preorder Nobody's Girl: theliteratelizard.com/book/9780593...

The cover of the book Nobody's Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice, by Virginia Roberts Giuffre, coming out October 21st.

The world knows Virginia Roberts Giuffre as Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s most outspoken victim: the woman whose decision to speak out helped send both serial abusers to prison, whose photograph with Prince Andrew catalyzed his fall from grace. But her story has never been told in full, in her own words—until now.

In April 2025, Giuffre took her own life. She left behind a memoir written in the years preceding her death and stated unequivocally that she wanted it published. Nobody’s Girl is the riveting and powerful story of an ordinary girl who would grow up to confront extraordinary adversity.

Here, Giuffre offers an unsparing and definitive account of her time with Epstein and Maxwell, who trafficked her and others to numerous prominent men. She also details the molestation she suffered as a child, as well as her daring escape from Epstein and Maxwell’s grasp at nineteen.

I hope they remain available, what with states' rights no longer being a thing under the regime.

And yes, I am glad there are other versions of books but physical still suits me best. And, you know, they don't let me down the way people do.

“I ain’t dead yet!” The dearly beloved Dolly Parton creates a “proof of life” video, assuring those who adore her that, even though she is dealing with some things, she is fine and still going strong 💛

Long live Dolly Parton ✨📚

I use them occasionally to fall asleep instead of tossing and turning.

And am keeping all my books because the regime doesn't want us to have them. They can, well, you know.

I’m pretty sure if we designed an assisted living facility to look like the WH and put lots of gold all over it and a ballroom with his late 70s playlist on a loop we could coax him in there and he wouldn’t know the difference. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Q: Have you given any more thought to possibly suspending habeas corpus?

TRUMP: Suspending who?

Q: Habeas corpus

TRUMP: I don't know. I'd rather leave that to Kristi.
