so crazy to me that a woman asked trump if he has any words for epstein's victims and he said "you as a young woman should smile more." it will go nowhere bc republicans refuse to hold trump accountable, but it's still pretty crazy.

Streeting says the PM is going for max transparency & will publish everything on Mandelsons appointment as ambassador, but then adds they will not release any info that [they say] compromises national security or undermine relations with other countries
So not transparent at all

The fact this little witch sold her soul for a knockoff green card and protection for her nonce husband is despicable and I hope she spends the rest of her life in irrelevance along with the barbs too brainless to bail years too late

I'm incredibly worried about reactionary responses to the Epstein files that do not target the powerful and instead make things worse for victims.
Florida has already passed the death penalty for people who assault kids under 12. Evidence shows that makes kids less likely to report, harming victims

Very important and detailed peer-reviewed critique of the Sullivan Review.
📣 Today @felicitycallard.bsky.social and I have published the first peer-reviewed response to the 'Sullivan Review' of research and data on sex and gender.
doi.org/10.1111/tran...
The Review could threaten trans rights and inclusion, erode academic freedom, and undermine research quality.

I like to call this "doing a Biden". Pretending you're just another Joe Public who wants something to happen and not the leader of the nation with the power to make it happen
BREAKING: Keir Starmer has urged House of Lords to urgently modernise disciplinary procedures so that Peter Mandelson can be stripped of his peerage and removed from upper chamber.

Hopefully it's not too unpopular opinion to think that public transport is vastly more important than anything to do with horses.

BBC strikes again! At least 3/4 of the article dedicated to people complaining. I know it's a bit of a stretch to blame the media for high construction costs, but I genuinely believe they should bear some responsibility, with their hostile reporting and giving excessive copy to opponents. 1/2

"Newly released body camera footage of the fatal police shooting of Roberto Calvario Jr. in West Ridge late last year 'contradicts the narrative' put forth by the police department."

New Video Shows Man Killed By Chicago Cops 'Posed No Threat,' Lawyers For Family Say
Chicago police said Roberto Calvario Jr. accelerated his car and dragged an officer last month, prompting the officer to fire his weapon. But lawyers for Calvario's family say body cam footage contradicts that narrative.

These allegations are incredibly serious, it is now only right that the police investigate Peter Mandelson for potential misconduct in public office.

I would just reiterate, that it seems unlikely that I, Just A Guy, A Regular Guy, knew more in-depth detail about Peter Mandelson's links to Jeffrey Epstein than the Prime Minister off the United Kingdom who was at the time considering appointing him as Ambassador to the United States.
I would never have appointed Mandelson had I known full Epstein links - PM
