Caroline Darian’s book is such an honest account of the traumatic discovery that her father Dominique Pelicot was a uniquely depraved criminal
But “chemical submission” is far from unique
Now she is on a powerful mission to change how justice works

@georgemonbiot.bsky.social The Invisible Doctrine is 🔥🔥🔥
I see we have two great figures of contemporay political thinking at @theconduitlondon.bsky.social next week @georgemonbiot.bsky.social and @afuahirsch.bsky.social - likely to be a sell-out event from two people staunchly refusing to "sell out" (apologies to genuine humorists)..

Whats the difference btw #Canada + now #Australia, where #elections show voters rejecting Trump-like self-destruction
& #America + #Britain, where they're running towards it?
We're seeing difference btw countries that have a sense of hope and self-belief vs those embracing their terminal decline

Musk is weaponising the real trauma of sexual violence to groom low information social media consumers, sniffing out their vulnerability to disinformation abuse, and exploiting it.
It's also predatory. And very, very dangerous.

I just saw Wicked for the second time. The first time was pre-election. Today it landed completely differently.
Especially the shots fired at performative allyship and people who claim to be on the side of kindness but end up following power instead of principle…
