Further help if you need it today. I'm off Twitter for now. I can't read any more rape apologists, 'innocent until proven guilty', 'why didn't they report to police' etc etc. It hurts.
*Drag Queen reads a book to a group of kids*
Conservatives: 'Stop these pedo groomers!!! 🤬'
*Russell Brand and Andrew Tate groom and rape teenagers*
Conservative: 'Deep state conspiracy! The Matrix! The powerful destroyed them for getting close to the truth 😩'
GB “News” presenter tweets that a Black man should “f*** off back to Jamaica”, and returns to work like nothing happened. This is the bastardisation of British journalism and media. And the re-normalisation of racism. Shocked the former head of Sky News condemned the ad boycott.
You see here how just wearing a badge saying to support trans kids leads to defamatory implications of paedophilia. It's a well-worn Far Right tactic to slur LGBT+ people and advocates, because "gender criticism" is now, functionally, a Far Right movement.
Predators are in workplaces. Predators who will choose their victims carefully, vulnerable, young, inexperienced... I know this from multiple jobs, multiple men, my own experiences. Men thought to be good leaders, nice guys etc. Victims don't make money or get fame. They get PTSD
Deeply ashamed to live in a country where baby formula and basic household goods are encased in anti-theft packaging.
When are we going to address the reason parents are having to steal baby milk and support them instead of criminalising them.
If what the streets are saying are true, and the man Katherine Ryan confronted on set was indeed Russell Brand, then the last time they worked together was 2018 (Roast Battle), years before Brand went all conspiracy theory and became a self-professed enemy of the mainstream.
Why don’t victims report?
📣 Humiliation/shame
📣 Fear of not being believed
📣 Process of reporting is traumatic
📣 Fear of retaliation
📣 Power imbalance
📣 Victim-blaming
All of the above on display today ☝🏼
#RussellBrand
I think Russell Brand’s move to being a shitty red-pilled guru was all strategic.
Now he's in a world that makes him "un-cancelable" because his followers will chalk this up to the media silencing him for speaking the "truth”.
#Dispatches
No idea who the subject of tonight’s Channel 4 #Dispatches is ,but if your opinion of the show has been formed by Russell Brand it’s worth noting #Dispatches’ history of holding power to account & challenging the establishment .Bit like Brand but with research & accountability
@ChesterPride yesterday was bloody awesome. Spent the day being a stage kitten at the Glitter Lounge. Met some wonderful people and saw some familiar faces. Community and belonging is so vital to being human.
