We were delighted to welcome independent journalist Carly P Reilly today to talk about her reporting on Jeffrey Epstein’s international network, the modeling industry’s role in trafficking, and what she’s uncovered while investigating from France.
Then it was time for Fucked-up Friday, where we discussed three wildly different contenders. Lawrence Winnerman pitched a story about AI-created viruses with no evolutionary history, Dana DuBois discussed the cop supervisor in Texas who stole a female police officers’ intimate photos from her phone without recourse, and Carly P Reilly connected the dots from Jon Stewart’s 9/11 first responders fight to the broader failures of this administration to protect the military people they claim to serve with basic provisions—and the guarantee their loved ones won’t be deported by ICE while they’re deployed.
As always, the chat had the final say on who brought the most horrifying story of the week—listen in to learn who won!
Thank you Anne P. Mitchell, Esq., Mr. Troy Ford, Laura LeBleu, Sacred Storylines 🎨, Courtney, and many others for tuning in and to Karen Marie Shelton for moderating.
