Around the world, politicians and businessmen are resigning from their positions because of the Epstein Files.

Except in the United States.

Here: Zero shame, zero consequences.

We need resignations, investigations, impeachments, and punishments now. Should have been years ago.

🚨 Gaza | Medical teams report returned bodies see severe disfigurement and restraint marks, complicating identification as thousands remain missing. Families rely on clothing or birthmarks amid lack of DNA testing. Calls grow for an independent international investigation.

Looking for evidence of Trump's guilt in the Epstein files is NOT like looking for a needle in a haystack.
It's like looking for a needle in a barrel of needles.

There's a point in the Files where Epstein appears to joke about he and Woody Allen both being "pedos," using that term

Time and again the clear and obvious dangers that such provisions, which are meant to make us safer, have been highlighted. Time and again Ireland’s Government has sought to lead the EU into ignoring these warnings.

The Londoners who were furious when they read that free houses were being given to Muslims, Palestinians & other migrants don’t know @uklabour.bsky.social or #KeirStarmer very well. The account was a Reform TikTok so they’re a bit dim too 🙄

A very eye-opening follow-up: the account owner openly admits they were posting hateful content simply to develop, and monetise, a big TikTok account bsky.app/profile/jim....
This is an *exceptional* piece of work, and ought to be borne in mind when looking at literally any online ragebait in future.

A TikTok account that professed to be highlighting how 'illegal immigrants get free housing in London' was… well, not that at all.

The far-right don’t win when they win elections.

They win when centrist parties like Fianna Fáil adopt their policies to suit their narrative.

The Social Democrats will continue to push against far right politics moving to the centre – no matter what.
