It'll never happen, but imagine if Andy got a sudden attack of integrity and decided to spill his formerly royal guts? It wouldn't undo a single crime, but might go a few steps of the way towards helping the survivors.

I saw someone say you can tell the patriarchy is real because women are being arrested for having miscarriages but men aren't for sexual assault and pedophilia, and I can't stop thinking about that.
"For the second time since the start of the year, police have charged a Kentucky woman with homicide, abuse of a corpse, and concealing a birth after a pregnancy loss."

Second Kentucky Woman in 6 Weeks Charged With Homicide After Pregnancy Loss
Both women were criminalized after they sought medical care, one for a miscarriage and one for self-managed abortion.

Prisons are for people who've been CONVICTED of crimes.
Most people in these warehouses - without proper food or sanitation or worse - haven't even been CHARGED with crimes.
And thousands are CHILDREN.
This will be another of America's greatest shames.

There can't possibly be *anyone* who expected Maxwell to do anything but plead the 5th? Given what the whole world now knows, I can't imagine life outside will be as safe as prison when a pardon completes the transaction. She'll sweat until the end of her miserable days.

This is absolutely insane. The sort of Kafka-esque nightmare you would find in a Philip K Dick book set far in the dystopian future. A window on America tumbling into autocracy.

It says a lot about the state of America's vast community of the super-rich that decency and trust have been detected in so very few of them. Are the other good ones plotting an imminent Goodness Coup™ in secret, or just wringing their hands as they sip ethically produced champagne on their yachts?

It reflects so badly on America that it can't find just 23 Republicans to remove this monster. There aren't 23 conservative politicians with enough integrity or decency to save their country? There aren't enough conservative voters to persuade just 23 of their elected officials that this is wrong?

Having confirmed in the House that his security briefing made him aware of Mandelson's links to Epstein, Starmer made the appointment anyway. Decent is very much the wrong adjective here when Stupid, Amoral, and Feckless, among others, were available.

Importing the fabricated anti-trans hysteria of the UK's intentionally divisive fabricated culture wars to Ireland. Culture wars that were planned expressly to advance modern fascism. If he's not a fellow traveler, Bakhurst is either thick or only interested in clicks. Either way not fit for the job
Kevin Bakhurst in the Irish Times today saying that he pushed RTE News to follow the UK lead on 'transgender issues'. I would question why there's a need to import a confected British moral panic to a country where it does not, as yet, exist. Our news media seems to desperately want a culture war.
