I love how the individuality of the "spikes" reflects the individual courage of the little girl in your first cartoon, who is hoping her rape allegations will be believed. The striking simplicity of your "Seeing Things" is powerful!
The Miami Herald, which is a mainstream "legacy" newspaper -- whose investigative series led to this case in the first place, is covering the hearing. We do not generally advance events that aren't open to the public. But we are covering it, as we also covered Virginia Giuffre's memorial two weeks ago. I appreciate the fact that Aaron is covering it so religiously, but the Herald is as well -- and I would encourage you to subscribe to the Herald for our coverage, which is ongoing.
Such an important piece today, Liza. Never ceases to be astonishing the amount of evidence that demands (if not requires) the need for an accounting of one of the ugliest- but not close to sole - organized dehumanizing abuse of young women in this country (and world wide).
That so many men appear to casually shrug off the practice of using vulnerable human beings as disposable trading chips might be a revelation to some - but it’s not to most. And still, no real effort to give the survivors some justice, or even the respect they deserve for stepping forward.
Thank you for what you persist in placing before us. This should never disappear.
I’m feeling helpless a bit I admit. A granddaughter is growing up - friends daughters are entering the world of adulthood..
Because even if some kind of justified retribution is visited upon the perpetrators and facilitators in this particularly ugly conspiracy - it’s going to very likely continue. Until a healthier view of human sexuality becomes a norm instead of violent fantasies encouraged by asses like Weinstein was, Tarantino exalts, reality shows demonstrate.. there will be no real change. I’ve no illusions about it.
Oh, your not-so-serious drawing is a keeper. Thanks for all of the information. I love the idea of the Pop-up Trump/Epstein memorial Reading Room---brilliant. Also very glad that the Epstein survivors are being interviewed in Florida. Still reading Sylvia and finding more and more gems. Happy Tuesday!
I, too, believe that we live in a patriarchy, and it is getting worse! No one stood up for Rachel Scott when Trump called her names and berated her. The farce in the Oval Office about men not having as much sperm and not enough babies being made! Yet not funding services for expectant mothers, childcare, and so on. I follow Aaron Parnas now, too. I don't know when he sleeps with a newborn in the house, but like you, Ann Telnaes, Heather Cox Richardson, and others, thank you for keeping us updated and informed.
The first cartoon made me intake my breath. The second made me smile and exhale. Wow, that's something: the pop-up room with the E files. What a unique idea. I'd be interested in your experience of it. Thanks for everything you do that we just c a n ' t.
Thank you so much Liza for following this important story, Exploitation of women is a story as old as time and now is the time to change it to one of equality for all. Thank you, as well as others - Miami Herald, HCR, and the many brave abused women, to mention a few. There are many more and together we will get this mess out so that the dialogue in your sad cartoon of those little girls will be one of empowerment.

Thank you, and apologies for not recognizing that. I will definitely subscribe to them.

Thank you, Patris. I agree, this is perhaps the ugliest and most wide spread abuses of power I’ve ever seen.

Always uplifting Liza. Thank you for your interpretation of all the realities that are so hard to face today.
