Looking after my one year old nephew. He took a nasty trip running around & started screaming. His ankle looked dislocated so I called an ambulance & held his leg still trying to keep him calm. Paramedics had to stop themselves laughing when they told me it was his sock twisted

Breaking: An Epstein survivor just silenced press conference attendees when she delivered the following remarks:
“Today we stand in a moment that will decide whether our government belongs to the American people, or to those who prey on them.”

The only way that I see that Trump prevents the release of the files is if they claim that because he's considering a pardon for Maxwell that it's considered an investigation and because ALL the files are related to Maxwell... the files can't be released until that decision/investigation is closed.

For @msmagazine.com, I wrote about the WNBA and the issue of pay equity. By the time the WNBA was only two seasons in (1999-2000) the average NBA salary was 58 times higher than the average WNBA salary. Twenty-six years later, the gap has jumped to 116 times higher.

This from @stephenkb.bsky.social cuts to the heart of the matter. Does the government not understand how toxic this argument is? Do they think they can somehow weaponise it? The last governments at least had the merit not of making this kind of foul claim.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

At 16 I did a part time job in a new supermarket. I asked who counts the people. Blank looks. "For the millionth customer prize," I explained. A colleague explained they just pick a photogenic person for a news story. That's when I realised there will never be justice.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

When people talk about the excesses of MeToo, they have to lie, because the reality is that there was no massive social reckoning forcing people to believe survivors or hold perpetrators accountable. In fact, there has been a significant backsliding and new punishments in rejection of MeToo
