My books have nothing to do with Valentines Day.
Other holy figures make the cut.
But
In none of them, is there any mention of saint or heart-shaped chocolates or the power of flowers...
So the audiobook makes a perfect gift to yourself if you wish to ignore it all.

The Epstein Files tell a horrific and heavy story of abuse and corruption. But power protects itself through the expectation that we will feel paralysed by the sense of powerlessness.
Their release is a seminal moment.

“Palestine Action is the first civil disobedience organisation that does not advocate for violence to be proscribed by the British Government as a ‘terrorist’ group, in a Trumpian abuse of power which would have seen this Labour Government proscribe the Suffragettes": Ammori.

Breaking: on two counts, the High Court has ruled that the Labour government's proscription of the campaign group Palestine Action was unlawful – a win for its co-founder Huda Ammori, who sought a judicial review of the ban

The FAA just shut down El Paso Airport for 10 days on short notice for "security reasons." No way this isn’t border-related BS, ICE, or military. Pure optics over people.
