It's a contagion which is spreading around the planet, but I think it can be traced most recently back to the USA as it's source. Like the other 'deadly sins' they are genies which cannot be put back in the bottle once released. Everyone seems to want more than they need, or can use, these days

You know DJT is giving us the perfect example that he does not understand consent

L.A. says NO
Chicago says NO
Portland says NO

And he is still trying to force himself on all of them just like he did to all his victims

WAKE UP and LISTEN

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

The Oregon national guard general says if the Oregon National guard were to be deployed they would be instructed under his leadership to protect the protesters not ICE.

Ed Husic, Labor MP, made some great points on Afternoon Briefing yesterday.

"The reason why prices are so high is because we export a phenomenal amount of gas."

We can remedy supply constraints without opening new gas projects by diverting uncontracted gas to the domestic market.

Mike Johnson’s abrupt closure of the House had more to do with stalling a congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation than previously reported, and it appears to have been a direct response to the Treasury’s surrender of Epstein’s financial records.

SCOOP: Johnson closed House hours after Congress received Epstein’s financial records

The decision to shut down the House — and by extension the government — came hours after the Oversight Committee received documents from the US Treasury.

What a terrifying world we now live in! A lunatic in control of the USA, murderers in Russia & Israel with the full support of their people, killing & torturing innocent men, women & children in Gaza & someone has hacked my credit card, 10k miles away. All bewildering for someone born in 1951.

I hope it's true Jenny, but it opens the door for Trump to undermine the deal made with Israel over stopping the genocide in Gaza, now he'll just want the vacant realestate for development of his Riviera of the East.
