I am seeing a lot of posts about Briahna Joy Gray, Aaron Mate, Ryan Grim and their horrific denial of mass rape on 10/7.
I want to be really clear. It happened. I saw photos of the bodies.
I was privileged to be invited to a private briefing at the Israeli embassy and shown photos that are not open to the public for privacy reasons. What I saw will haunt me to my dying day. I met with members of the Dinah Project. They are honorable, righteous, and true. There is ample evidence. There are eyewitnesses including 10/7 survivors, medics and legal experts who have seen the videos and photos. There are now living survivors coming forward. Most of the public doesn’t understand, we are talking about extreme and very particular types of sexual violence - including genital mutilation, gang rape, and rape as murder - happened simultaneously in multiple locations. That’s not coincidental - that’s coordinated.
What deniers demand as evidence is not consistent with western modern rape law. The standard they are asking for is ever shifting, but would never be demanded in a court of law. Video of rape and murder? A woman who is raped and murdered cannot get justice if she is not alive to testify? Your hatred of Israeli women is so strong it endangers every woman in the world.
The fight to recognize the horrors of rape in 10/7 is critical to global justice. It’s a fight for all women. Deniers are no different than holocaust deniers and should be treated with the same contempt.
Has anyone else clocked that every #loveislandallstars winning couple has included a Season 9 islander?
Like, I'm not saying it means anything, but it's weird, you know?
Scott might be outspoken and an occasional shit stirrer, but that's not bullying. Sean and his little pal Joey were absolute horrors during S11, let's not forget.

Want to talk about medical misogyny? I was due to have a hysteroscopy (v painful gynae procedure) next week with sedation. I rang with a mundane question and the staff were confused, saying no sedation is booked. After being put through to various people, I finally got an answer:
The saddest part of Emerald Fennell is she’s a director with a clear eye, but has absolutely zero interest in anything real or worthwhile. Her posh upbringing tells you all you need to know about her output.
It’s been said that the next UK political scandal is probably already happening in plain sight. And it is. It’s been happening all this week at the assisted suicide bill committee. A thread:
Just a reminder that if it is THIS easy to ban TikTok in US, it is also just as easy to ban PornHub which contains thousands of videos of child abuse, non-consensual sex (assaults and rapes that have been filmed and uploaded), and extremely violent porn.
The technology to make massive scale change is there - they just don’t want to.
‘Our’ ludicrous king, head of our ludicrous Royal Family has genuinely just taken a helicopter to visit a food bank…..
And in the process of doing so, he has inadvertently created the perfect snapshot of everything that’s wrong with the class system in Britain.
Very few school shooters have gotten the death penalty. Yet the U.S. is trying to charge Luigi Mangione so he gets the death penalty for killing one man. You can kill dozens of kids and get a lesser sentence because their lives don’t matter as much as a CEO’s. That’s America.
To British farmers:
Your spokesman is a very rich, very offensive, very bigoted man who lives in a Cotswold mansion, has garages of cars worth £2.1 million, and prides himself on tax dodging,
As long as you validate this man, nobody is listening to any arguments you might have.
Please spare a thought for James Dyson, the Brexit-voting billionaire who bought up 33,000 acres of farmland to avoid tax. Without people like him, farmland would be more affordable for actual farmers.
