Mike has an incredible podcast from a few years ago detailing what it was like to grow up in the 70s and telling the story of an awful man who abused children, ultimately leading to the death of a young boy. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t... #podcast #epstein #abuse #1970s #boobytrappodcast

I didn’t see an attribution for this one, but the message is very well stated. Saying nothing is an option, and so is calling attention to the evil that people have done, especially powerful people who use their power to hurt others #lindseygraham #mitchmcconnell #weveallhearditbefore
