REPORTER: Will you meet with the Epstein victims?
TRUMP: Nobody has suggested that. Certainly I don't like that situation with respect to anybody being abused or hurt. But I haven't even thought about that. Thank you very much. Have a good time.

Could we please stop pretending that the flags being hung from streetlamps or painted on roundabouts are innocent expressions of patriotic pride? This is the far right marking out its territory. It uses these flags to intimidate its traditional victims and opponents. 🧵1/3

That was one of the most batshit press conferences of Trump's public life. He brandished a photo of Putin and promised to deploy the US military to occupy Chicago, New York, and San Francisco. A sane country would be moving toward impeachment and removal right now.

At midnight, Palestine Action will be proscribed under the Terrorism Act.
Their real “crime”? Exposing the UK’s role in arming Israel’s genocide.

Today the order banning #PalestineAction as "terrorists" came into effect. But they are not terrorists. They are protesters trying to stop a genocide. This is a "first they came for ..." situation. Unless we stand in solidarity against this assault on our freedom, they will pick us off one by one.
