Madame Trash Heap

CPTSD survivors aren't getting f*cked up about things in the past. We're responding to things happening in our body, our nervous & endocrine systems, today. Telling a survivor to "let it go" misses the point of what's actually, physically happening, here, now.

oh got it yeah no i was worried it might be something weird

One purpose served by our "fight" response is, it can blast through that fear of confrontation that can otherwise paralyze us-- & this isn't a terrible thing. Properly understood & managed, that "fight" energy is a beautiful recovery tool. I think of it as the internal cavalry.

I'm going to say this as kindly as I possibly can. Some folks are sliding into fascism way too easily.

Epstein Survivors Call on Justice Department to Appoint Independent Special Counsel

If we don’t have a Congress interested in upholding the law, we don’t have a functioning government period.

every day feels like going quietly insane

I think that the Epstein rapist should be impeached

Why is this not headline news??? www.mediaite.com/media/news/f...

i said ASS

“As I write this, the Washington Post has published at least 4 articles about Obama’s Cheesecake Factory line, and 0 articles about a new allegation of rape against Donald Trump, who has already been found liable for sexual assault.” — @jamisonfoser.bsky.social www.findinggravity.net/more-women-h...

"Journalists often use the words 'unsubstantiated' or 'uncorroberated' when referring to the allegations victims have levied against powerful men, like Trump. Instead of saying these women’s accounts are not corroborated, maybe it’s time we say they were not investigated in spite of clear patterns."

It's just misogyny and rape all the way down. from his ascent to his continuance to his cult. it's all built on loathing women

This report is genuinely overwhelming, in terms of the evidence both against Trump and of a ham-fisted cover-up. Including one instance in which Ghislaine Maxwell was actually about to mention one of Trump's young accusers and Todd Blanche told her to stop talking. The media response is "yawn."

"The 50-page report [...] contains testimony from 11 women who either accuse Trump of rape or sexual assault or say that they had been offered to Trump for sex by Epstein or Ghislaine." "Five women said that Trump raped or assaulted them while Epstein was present." #USA #Trafficking #SexualViolence

Donald Trump was “an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse of young women in the mid-to-late 1990s,” according to the report.

Here's a direct link to House Dem's Judiciary Cmte report. The executive summary begins: "A growing body of evidence demonstrates that Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s." democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

Not a big story, it's just the Attorney General working with an imprisoned pedophile to help cover up the pedophile President's crimes conducted with his best friend for 15 years, a pedophile who the President sent, as a birthday card, a drawing of a naked adolescent girl.

Julie K. Brown at the Miami Herald is still doing the heavy lifting on keeping the story alive. www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...

Evidence "shows that Trump lied about kicking Epstein out of his Mar-a-Lago club," according to a new report from the House Judiciary Dem staff. The report also reveals for the first time Beatrice Keul's account of allegedly having been raped by Trump. democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Kind of funny, in an Ancient Greek Hell kind of way, that this guy handed Trump the presidency in 2016, and as a reward Trump is kicking him in the teeth forever. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

No movement on this. Perfect still needs $290 to cover October rent. She's a disabled grandma raising two little grandsons [disabled daughter lives with her]. Her LL is a BIG problem. 8 people, $30 each, and we'll put in the last $60 if y'all get that met:

it feels truly insane that it’s not

Today is a great day to forgive yourself for not seeing what was being actively concealed from you, &/or for extending the benefit of the doubt to someone who turned out to not deserve it. We do what we can w/ what we have. No shame. We work to see & do better going forward.

A serial rapist was elected twice as President, a fact we don't reckon with nearly enough. Now one of two major political parties has been molded in his image, run for and by violent sexual abusers who hate women.

Will anyone—anyone at all—ask Trump about the rape allegations published in an official report by the House Judiciary Democrats? Or will he continue to escape accountability for his violence?

Okay, I deleted the original post because people didn't check the link at all and mistook my typo of "young men" seriously. I clearly meant young women. Not sure why this isn't a bigger story, but I read this entire report today. It's gutting. democrats-judiciary.house.gov/media-center...

The House Judiciary Committee Democrats have released a report containing testimony from 11 women regarding allegations of sexual assault, including a new rape allegation, against President Trump in relation to Jeffrey Epstein that the lawmakers say has been deliberately covered up by the DOJ.

It's really damning. The accusations are numerous and well-supported. But I was really struck by the descriptions of Trump's behavior -- the name dropping, strong-arming, and attempts to buy off silence. His gross rivalry with Epstein. It's all so familiar. It's shit he's been doing his entire life.
