And there it is.

(I listened to the audio and watched the video myself, and yes, that is *exactly* what the biographer said in this University of Cambridge address.)

Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses, as hate symbols.

U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols
The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

My first piece for @theguardian.com on MBS’s visit to the U.S., seven years after Jamal Khashoggi’s murder.

Trump’s America is beginning to look like MBS’s Saudi Arabia— which Jamal warned me about.

“Will you release all the files within 30 days?”

BONDI: “We’ll continue to follow the law.”🤔

“You said no addition investigation was warranted. What changed?”

BONDI: “Information.” 🙃

Trump announced on social media that he had signed the legislation, but the release of all the files is not guaranteed.

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

Honest to god. It’s insanely problematic nobody checks Trump on his misogyny. This creep is the example for how millions of young boys think they should treat girls, and for how millions of young girls think they should be treated. Burn the patriarchy to the ground.

I’m sure that everything in the Epstein files has been redacted, thrown away or burned. However there’s a survivor here on bluesky and she said that she’s Never giving up! I’m counting on the survivors to tell us everything we want to know! I’m glad they’re all together, safety in numbers!

A horrendous report on ABC radio from a Brisbane doctor doing a second tour in Gaza with Medecins sans Frontières. She says the ceasefire is in name only, the genocide continues and the deprivation of basic food, shelter and resources means even the injured haven’t what the need to heal.

Ex-Treasury Secretary Larry Summers is "deeply ashamed" of his years-long communication with Jeffrey Epstein and says he will be "stepping back from public commitments."

"I take full responsibility for my misguided decision to continue communicating with Mr. Epstein."
