Martyna Ogonowska has lost her appeal. This is atrocious. Martyna was just 18 when she was sexually assaulted by a man named Filip Jaskiewicz. A rape survivor, she was carrying a knife, and she stabbed Jaskiewicz once, killing him.
At her trial, the judge accepted that Martyna had been violently and sexually assaulted, but because she was carrying a knife, her actions were considered unlawful, and she was sentenced to 17 years in prison. Worse, she’s still behind bars, while Banaras Hussein, leader of the Rotherham rape gang, is already free on licence.
This is the UK in 2026: a country where a man who doused a little girl in gasoline and threatened to set her on fire spends less time in prison than a woman who killed in admitted self defense.
“I don’t understand why women don’t just report it if it really happened.”
When I was 19, I reported mine. I had bruises. Hospital photos. Text messages of him apologizing the next morning. My friends drove me to the station because I could barely stop shaking. I thought evidence would make it simple. I thought truth would be enough.
Months later, I was the one on trial. His lawyer printed my Instagram photos and held them up in court. Asked why I wore crop tops. Asked why I drank that night. Asked why I didn’t scream louder. He replayed my police interview and pointed out every time I hesitated, every time I cried, every time my timeline wasn’t perfectly linear. “If it was traumatic,” he said, “why can’t she remember clearly?”
Sitting there while strangers debated my pain like it was a group project felt like being stripped again. My messages were projected on a screen. My body was described in detail. My character was picked apart like that was the real crime.
He walked out on bail. I walked out with panic attacks.
That’s why some women don’t report. Because even with bruises. Even with screenshots. Even when you do everything “right.” You still have to survive the assault twice, once in private, and once in public, just to maybe be believed.

Today is a day of shame for Labour.
Starmer’s arguments for blocking an inquiry into rape gangs do not survive contact with reality.
He is preventing answers and accountability for thousands of young girls who were abused in monstrous ways.
A thread 🧵 (1/12)
@Inevitablewest People need to send Labour a message.
We are sick of the lies.
We are sick of the deception.
We are sick of the gaslighting.
We are sick of all the broken promises.
Call a General Election Keir Starmer.

Poetic. The British have had enough.
Yesterday, Iran took out an airfield and a mossad HQ.
Israeli's laughed, saying nobody was killed.
Today, Israel blew up an orphanage, killing who knows how many children.
One side is cartoonishly evil in this war, and it ain't Iran.
Remember Iran went to the UN weeks ago asking for Israel to be held accountable for the attacks on their soil or they would be forced to act. The UN ignored them.
Israel burned a school full of children, children were burned alive
But Iran targeting an airfield with no casualties is so much worse.
I hate this world.
justin bieber and jamie lee curtis sharing pics of israeli destruction to hundreds of millions of people only to learn they were actually images of palestine and then just deleting them without comment -- i can't stop thinking about it. very worried about the state of media rn
It’s very gross how Pierce Brosnan gets praised for loving his wife after she gained weight and very gross how is constantly pointed out as if he’s a saint or doing charity work. Very very very odd. Leave women’s bodies alone
