I had to check the date on this three times

100% this.
Hundreds of survivors not believed by
rich powerful men apologists all over the world, including men and women who have nothing more than (in many cases) perceived political affiliation
It's absolutely sickening
Reminder:
At the heart of the Epstein stories are women who as minors were trafficked, raped and treated as sexual slaves by Epstein and his many powerful collaborators.
Don’t let political point scoring overshadow that.

My goodness Jo Swinson wants us to all have amnesia about what she and her party in coalition did to further education in this country
Sorry to tell you Jo, we remember

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

I don't understand how the US coastguard can act with impunity in UK waters
Question is where are they taking them?

Missed this incredibly sinister story

Pam Bondi offering to withdraw ICE from Minnesota — in exchange for control of the state’s voter rolls

Presumably to purge them

US democracy really is on the brink (h/t @anneapplebaum.bsky.social)

‘All-out assault on our democracy:’ Bondi’s Minnesota blackmail letter draws righteous fury from state election leaders
“This isn't leadership. This is blackmail," Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes said. "This is the way organized crime works."

This is why I would never have a ring doorbell, it's essentially a snitch
This is absolutely shocking. Ring cameras are supposed to protect the people in the house not the Gestapo

As happy as I am that Scotland qualified for the world cup in absolutely spectacular fashion, it's unfathomable that anyone would want to go to the US under this fascist government

There should be no world cup matches in the US

Whilst still using twitter.... unbelievable

If Tories cared about the wellbeing of young people they would stop using a site that's monetising sexually exploitative images of children

Some reading for your Sunday morning, especially if you are insisting on remaining on a platform that monetises CSAM.
Staying on Twitter doesn't make you special - let that sink in
