I call on my party and my government to remove themselves entirely from X and communicate with the public where they actually participate online and can be protected from such illegality.

NB: When I, a professor of law, profess that an act is unlawful, I am not doing it to inform the lawbreaker, but rather to inform you, the reader.

So the question “what, like you think he cares?” is inapposite. The question is whether *you* care. I think you should, which is why I bother.

Thoughts with all those who have lost someone today. Some awful, awful news from around the globe today. Mankind can be so terribly cruel.

A white British father and son BOTH raped the same child and pled guilty to multiple counts of Sexual assault.

This has been in the press for 2 days.

The Mirror is the only National newspaper to report on it…

And THAT’s why people have such a skewed perception of the links between race and SA🤷🏼‍♀️

We need a government initiative to encourage middle-aged men to have hobbies. If they've nothing else to do than run around town attaching flags at half-mast to lampposts then, really, they need to be taking up stamp collecting, maybe, or model railway building.

It is important to hold right-wing grifters like Farage to account.

Devastating night in Kyiv.

At least 9 killed & 42 hospitalised, including 6 children.

Two of my surgeon friends now operating, having spent the night in bomb shelters.

Putin’s murderous intent.

Trump has abandoned Ukraine, so Europe, where are you?

Ironically, we have a petition that preempted the fake GE petition the media won’t shut up about apparently.

Who could have seen all this disinformation coming?

Many many of us, for the last decade or more.

Fix it, or democracy is over.

We believe that lies, fraud, and media toxicity threaten our way of life. We think new mechanisms are needed to preserve confidence. How else can people know what to trust?

This gave me goosebumps.

“My 18-year-old daughter was at Starbucks, alone, the other night.

A man came up to her and started talking to her.

A barista handed her “an extra hot chocolate someone forgot to pick up.”

How grateful I am for people who look out for other people!”

We need each other.
