Someone used image generators to make (and monetize) a fake OnlyFans account of this feminist content creator, and they’ll likely never see any consequences.

“Many of the people messaging her about the fake OnlyFans account were men trying to get access to it”

A MAGA freak in Texas murdered his own daughter in cold blood after they had an argument about Trump.

A grand jury in the Dallas area then *declined to indict him*, and he has not yet faced charges.

Seems like many Texans believe a man has the right to kill his own child for disobedience.

How the f*ck have we allowed evictions to reach a similar level to 1850s
100 yrs after independence we are back in worst period of our colonial history, when record numbers had to flee Ireland
Have no mistake this is down to successive government policy
