Wonder if a paper ever came out with the results?

by the time this is all over, we're going to find out that Epstein was in the Trump Files

[Sean Casten @SeanCasten]

Trump spent his first Thanksgiving after getting elected President with Jeffrey Epstein. 2017.

[Lucy @lucyevt]

Yes, actually. Do you?

[JD Vance @JDVance]

Remember when we learned that our wealthiest and most powerful people were connected to a guy who ran a literal child sex trafficking ring? And then that guy died mysteriously in a jail? And now we just don't talk about it.

[Michael Rosen 💙💙🎓🎓 NICE 爷爷 @MichaelRosenYes]

Tim Davie was privately educated, went to Cambridge and was a Tory candidate and deputy chair of a local Conservative Party Association. Clear case of left-wing bias. If the left wing rot's gotta stop, then we need to start with private schools, Cambridge and the Tory Party.

Last week the @Daily_Express ran with the following front page.

So obviously I had to take a look!

Is it true?

How does it compare to other professions?

Because anyone familiar with British RW media discourse knows they reserve a special venom for civil servants…🤷🏼‍♀️

In an ideal scenario the President of the United States and the worst person in the world would be two different people.

An important reminder today for Londoners: our city is - and will always be - for everyone.

We will always be pro-women, pro-diversity, pro-climate and pro-human rights.

These are some of the values that will continue to bind us together as Londoners.

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

Europe now stands alone in confronting the largest threat to its security since the annexation of the Rhineland.

Emily Maitlis eviscerates Boris Johnson

"You started importing that Trump like behaviour into Britain when you were Prime Minister"

"His disregard for institutions. His disregard for the rule of law"

"His denialism.. Mirrored in your response to the Privileges Committee.. Your response to the Parliamentary Standards Committee.. Your Proroguing of Parliament"

"This is all Trump like behaviour"

Boris Johnson, "I disagree profoundly"

[Holly Thomas @HolstaT]

Sorry to be that guy, but every time I say "people will die if Trump wins," someone (a man) retorts "same if Harris wins."

It's not the same, and this is why.

@HolstaT Definitely

[Lucy @lucyevt]

@HolstaT Horrific. There is no pro-life stance to defend this - the foetus had already died. This is simply not caring about a woman's life and a projection of the stigma women face for needing obstetric care or wanting agency over their bodies.

[Lucy @lucyevt]

Strongly agree, @HolstaT. Men also need to do more than not equivocate, they need to actively engage in making positive change, challenge other men, and do better. If you care, do something. Passivity is complicity.

[Holly Thomas @HolstaT]

It's galling how many Brits have made excuses for Trump lately.

There are so many reasons to fear him, but whenever men equivocate, and then things like this happen, it's hard to conclude anything besides OK, you don't care about women's lives, then.
