When you put it like this, a $75 million bribe to Melania and gutting the Washington Post seems like a small price to pay.

US group allegedly ran fake law firm and court proceedings to scam immigrants Federal prosecutors have arraigned four people in New Jersey, with a fifth at large in Colombia

A criminal enterprise.

If you want to be cheered up, think about how many uppers and weird research chemicals trump is gonna be on for the state of the Union to keep him from falling asleep mid-babble, how stressed he is, and how very fragile his cerebral arteries are

BROOKE GLADSTONE: The Inquiry brought up the case of Denholm Elliott's daughter - PAUL McMULLAN: Oh, yeah - BROOKE GLADSTONE: - which is one case that you truly do regret. PAUL McMULLAN: I do, yeah. After Denholm died, she hit rock bottom, was allegedly doing methadone. And although she had, you know, the half-million-pound flat that Denholm had bought her, she didn't have any money to get her ten-pound bag in the morning. So she'd get up and go begging at the tube station. Here was a young girl crying out to be helped, and she met a police officer who didn't help her but rang up the News of the World and asked for money because he couldn't believe that this is the same girl who'd walked down the red carpet behind Eddie Murphy with Denholm Elliott, you know.

BROOKE GLADSTONE: And you offered her 50 pounds - PAUL MCMULLAN: Yeah. BROOKE GLADSTONE: - if she would come to your place and have sex. So you led her into prostitution, which she wasn't in that space for. PAUL McMULLAN: No, indeed. But she was in such a bad place that someone offering her 50 pounds for sex. I mean, that's five bags.

BROOKE GLADSTONE: So how do you justify that? Yes, she was a drug addict, yes, she was begging. Why push her that extra step? Why take pictures of her topless? PAUL McMULLAN: I was keen. It was in my first year. I wanted to impress Piers Morgan, who was my boss at the time, and just wanted to say, not only have I caught this girl begging, but l've got pictures of her topless and I've got her offering me sex for 50 quid. How great am I? BROOKE GLADSTONE: This is a pretty dehumanizing enterprise, not just for Jennifer Elliott, but for you, yourself. PAUL McMULLAN: Yeah, that's why I feel terrible about it, not just 'cause she killed herself afterwards, but I, I actually liked her as a person.

Sharing from a friend, a passage from the Leveson Inquiry regarding the British actor Denholm Elliott, who died of AIDS in 1992. Three years after her death, the News of the World journalist Paul McMullan did the following to his daughter—neither a celebrity nor even someone of public interest.

We use 'vice signalling' mainly to mean edgy posts or eating at Chick-fil-a etc., but really it means that to succeed in certain groups you *need* to show that you enjoy causing suffering. This is as true of the News of the World as it is of SS units or just groups of lads telling rape jokes.

“In one unsigned note to Mr. Trump,… the bank wrote that he would need to “find a more suitable institution with which to conduct business.”
The letter closed with, “Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter” — a phrase that Mr. Trump… is fond of using.”

White supremacy is a group project. Multinational multigenerational and it never gets tired. It never gives up. It just adapts to prioritize whichever group is the most vulnerable for extermination. We need to rip it out root and stem, but we refuse to confront reality and we all suffer for it.

America has run on the same cycles of oppression since inception. All that changes is which group is at the top of the list. Everyone is on the list. Because the xenophobia, eugenics, racism, homophobia, transphobia, misogyny, the Islamophobia, the antisemitism...it's the same notes every time.

here is an EXCELLENT thread talking about the many many examples in history that set precedent for what many of us are currently freaking out about as if it is new

of course it is not new

but ONLY replying with THAT as a scold lets it perpetuate when we should be gathering each other up to fight!

House passes bill banning ‘leftist indoctrination’ and LGBTQ+ teaching in public schools • New Hampshire Bulletin New Hampshire House Republicans are moving forward with a new attempt to regulate teaching on race, history, and LGTBQ+ issues in public schools. On Thursday, the chamber passed a bill that would ban ...

NH state house passes "CHARLIE Act," which bans teaching, I kid you not, "critical consciousness" & "prohibited world-views," such as that queer people exist, or that slavery involved race, or, implicitly, that the Nazis murdered Jews based on identity. newhampshirebulletin.com/2026/02/19/h...

Nina Simone was disabled.

A classically trained pianist, gifted songwriter and singer, Civil Rights activist, and mother, Nina Simon also had bipolar disorder that went undiagnosed and untreated for 20 years.

So she suffered, and STILL gave everything as many do.

Watching the livestreams of the fascist march in manchester today and it's pretty disgusting. The greater manchester police have pretty routinely facilitated these fuckers in feeling emboldened for months, targeting asylum hotels in the wider area.

Today they're here in numbers to press forward.
