We're all atwitter over the "Epstein Files", responding to every new crumb of info like a lab rat going crazy for the next fix of cocaine. (Slight exaggeration)
We know what's in those files. It's worse than we can imagine. All the while, the atrocities being committed every day by the hundreds are now more grossly under reported than before this crap got us all worked up.
It is very much a public interest story and a scandal, let me be clear about that. That doesn't mean we need wall to wall talking heads using it for more clicks, grift, etc....
I am waiting for indictments or real concrete newsworthy information, not the "political fallout" or people discussing this like vultures waiting for the first carcass to drop.
It is fucking amazing that with all this coverage, next to no time is being spent to use this as an opportunity to reach out to all the victims of sexual abuse in all forms, to encourage children who are victims to tell someone, to offer help to the GENERATIONS of living victims of animals like Trump, Epstein etc.
I don't know what the right thing to do is here, but I do know that devouring these stories isn't it.
