Editorial: Another “secret cache” of documents related to the rape of Brittany Higgins and its subsequent legal proceedings was shared with The Australian last week. Linda Reynolds was quoted in a snatch of stories, all critical of Higgins and the government. satpa.pe/V6DFKgK

Major sources of hate speech are located outside the US. Well yeah, we have this conversation every few months. And every few months people reject the bright shiny evidence that easiest way to ruin America is to feed the hate and bigotry that already exists here.
