With more material from the Epstein files released today, I feel compelled to remind us that NI had its own version. It was called Kincora Boys Home and there are powerful ppl walking around today who are very glad that email didn't exist when they were abusing children and having it covered up. 💔

To those saying, "but the Greens will split the vote":
1. Things have changed.
2. It's not the Green's fault that Starmer has the Merdas Touch (turns everything to shit)
3. When the Greens offer the only inspiring option, perhaps we should see the Labour candidate as splitting the vote.

Any mechanism for state oppression and violence will eventually be used beyond the out-group originally intended.
The only safe position is to not build machines for state oppression and violence in the first place.
Hence, surveillance powers are always dangerous, regardless of who is in office.

This is the anatomy of a state cover-up of 1000's of killings in N. Ireland. This rancid body is an interface to deny justice, access to courts and independent & fair investigation. RUC / PSNI were participants in conflict & should have no further role. The body should be collapsed immediately.

In case anyone cares, I do not support banning social media for U16s because regulate tech companies, not young people. And this is just a hunch but I bet there's crossover between those smartphone free childhood ppl and the ones who don't want kids finding out online that it's ok to be queer/trans.

Do not be confused about who the Pink Ladies are.
The pink ladies came to the Iranian protest to show support to the Iranian women. Need everyone to know that Steve Baker and his goons harassed the organiser's family in North Belfast. Do not believe their BS.
