The problem is far bigger than Jeffrey Epstein | Rebecca Solnit Treating the scandal as an aberration misunderstands the global epidemic of violence against women

"One of the reasons the epidemic of violence against women is so unacknowledged is because cases like these are talked about individually, and often treated as though they are shocking aberrations rather than part of a pervasive pattern that operates at all levels of society."

Or as I said recently the amount of human minds lost that could've led us all to Utopia;
If we didn't have such a taste for murdering each other.
Not even over food most of the time.
Rocks. We kill each other over rocks for what they contain.
While arrogant enough to think we're better than cavemen🤦🏻‍♂️

Freedom is never free. It always comes at a price.

Trumps 'talent': het demonteren van de wereldeconomie - Reporters Online Peter Giesen schreef  1 augustus in de Volkskrant over Trumps 'politieke talent' in de wereldhandel. Hij presenteerde Trump als een winnaar die andere landen succesvol intimideert met importheffingen....

Er stond 1 augustus een lang stuk in de Volkskrant dat stelde dat Trumps 'de grote winnaar van de strijd om de wereldhandel' is. Ik reageerde daar op met een opiniestuk, dat de Volkskrant echter niet wil plaatsen.

Dus nu heb ik het hier neergezet: reportersonline.nl/trumps-talen...

Russian Telegram channels report a drone attack and fire at Rosneft oil depot in Adler area, Krasnodar region of Russia, not far from Sochi airport.

Wow 21 years that's wild

And we're officially at the end of being able to trust the jobs numbers in this country ever again.

Guy who was convicted on 34 counts of first‑degree falsification of business records says the numbers were rigged.

He wanted the numbers fudged??? Figures don’t lie, but liars figure. An engineer in Dallas shared this wisdom back in the early 1980s.

Pleidooi van de paardenbloem: ‘Heb mij lief’ Waarom voelen tuinbezitters toch zo’n diepe weerzin tegen de paardenbloem? De paardenbloem zelf snapt er niks van. We geven haar hierbij de kans u om haar steeltje te winden. ‘Ben ik zoveel minder waard dan andere inheemse schoonheden?’

Seems DOGE wasn't so efficient after all. In fact, was extraordinarily wasteful, according to a Thursday report by the US Senate's investigations subcommittee.

Musk is already known to have wildly exaggerated the amount that his initiative was saving the public.

Last month the Equality and Human Rights Commission opened their consultation on their transphobic interim guidance. It was the first and only chance for trans voices to be involved in the ongoing legal process since the Supreme Court refused to allow any trans people in the courtroom for the For Women Scotland case. In less than six weeks, over 50,000 people sent their submissions. Good Law Project supported over 2,500 people to tell the EHRC what the impact of the guidance on their lives would be. But the EHRC has decided to ignore half of them. We can now confirm, through leaked documents, that the EHRC is planning not to read 50% of consultation responses. Instead of reviewing all the submissions, AI will determine whether people’s stories will be heard. They’ve essentially opened the door to trans voices, only to close it in their face again

de Britse overheid is een internetconsultatie begonnen die over trans issues gaat maar dat doet er even niet toe. De Britse overheid heeft namelijk een algoritme dat de alle reacties 'leest' om de reacties met een minderheidsstanpunt allemaal weg te gooien zodat politici niet moe worden van lezen

Wall Street Journal headline and deck: "New York Shooting Puts Mamdani on the Spot Over Policing Views: The killing of four people in a Midtown office building rattled a city where mass attacks are rare and violent crime has declined."

It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes

Võ Thi Thang smiling after being sentenced to 20 years hard labour in a prison camp by the South Vietnamese govt. After being sentenced she reportedly smiled at the judge and said "20 years? Your government won't last that long." She was right.

when you know you are on the right side of history, time is no longer the enemy.

Weer een voorbeeld van het creëren van een verzorgingsstaat voor de rijken.
Deze boeren zijn geen ondernemers en familiebedrijven, maar subsidieslurpers die de overheid beroven.
Waarom doorziet een provinciebestuur deze scam niet?

Human rights aren't negotiable. That's why.

TACO.

Do you have kids?

This is the body of a 6-year-old boy, russia killed tonight.

If your child were Ukrainian, russia would want to kill your child too.

And half your fucking country voted for that fuck (or decided they didn't care) . .

Accusations against Trump and his ties to child sex trafficking go beyond the Epstein Trump Child Sex Trafficking Ring

Trump settled multiple million dollar lawsuits with underage victims he had inappropriate sexual contact with

Donald Trump is a SEXUAL PREDATOR. That is undeniable

Friends,

May we never forget that while negotiations,speeches,statements, addresses&the rest of the diplomacy track are happening,exhausted Ukrainian men&women in military uniform are holding back evil on the frontlines

Wie tegenwoordig een zoekterm intikt op Google krijgt op de eerste pagina in plaats van goede zoekresultaten vooral advertenties voorgeschoteld. En wat scams. Het zorgt niet alleen voor dagelijkse frustratie, maar ook voor oprechte zorgen: Is het internet echt kapot aan het gaan?

Rusland heeft de oorlog allang verloren. Daar veranderen miljoenen Russische bots niets meer aan - Hidde Bouwmeester Een vrouw herkende haar zoon aan zijn jas. Hij lag roerloos in een oprijlaan. Op 144 Yablunska Straat liepen negen mannen in sokken hun dood tegemoet. Ze werden vernederd, geschopt, en één voor één ge...

Rusland heeft de oorlog verloren in Bucha. De beelden uit Bucha blijven hangen. Niet alleen bij Oekraïners, bij ons allemaal. Sindsdien is Rusland zijn internationale reputatie kwijt. Geen Russische trol kan dat veranderen.

Imane Khelif is niet trans. Caster Semenya? niet trans. Foekje Dillema? bingo. niet trans. trans vrouwen die een oneerlijk voordeel hebben? geen bewijs voor

Is it because they didn't have vans to drive the wild boars across the mountains in?

To be clear, this is the fossil fuel industry rewriting climate science in the name of profit.

Iedereen mag hiervoor de VVD bedanken.
