“Drs are too often dismissive of women’s symptoms when they present for treatment for reproductive health conditions such as endometriosis, adenomyosis, and heavy menstrual bleeding”

Shoutout to @drrageshri.bsky.social.

It shouldn’t be ignored that Kash Patel chose to plead the Fifth in response to a grand jury subpoena over the Mar-a-Lago classified documents.

He only testified, involuntarily, after being granted immunity.

Think about that. Trump’s FBI nominee pled the Fifth in response to a DOJ subpoena.

Both our lawmakers and our police need to take a good hard look at themselves and ask, why does this stuff tend only to come out when the abuser is dead?
Mohamed Al Fayed may have raped and abused more than 111 women, say police
Scale of the criminality would make Fayed, who died last year at the age of 94, one of Britain’s most prolific sex offenders

I heard that Andrew Tate tried to come stretch his awkward wings here and got banned in just one day.

Sorry, hate has no home here. Stay in the bad place, thanks.

It's my opinion that Victoria Derbyshire should replace Laura Kuenssberg on every single BBC show she is on, and she should do it right now.

I'm sure you agree.

Based on recent scuttlebutt, it appears the Trump Crime Syndicate isn't confident they can suppress the Matt Gaetz Ethics report.

They're now focused on pressuring the Senate to ignore it and confirm him anyway.

I don't give twa fecks about the Dyson & Clarkson type of farmer. Underneath their fake tears are farmers that have farmed for generations that aren't doing this for shits & giggles, a TV show, hoovers and who didn't vote for Brexshit & who are genuinely struggling.

So, am I understanding this?

If you cause disruption because you want a decent wage or are concerned about the destruction of the planet, you are vilified.

However, if you cause disruption by descending on the capital because fewer than 500 farmers have to pay more tax, you're vindicated.

Please spare a thought for James Dyson, the Brexit-voting billionaire who bought up 33,000 acres of farmland to avoid tax then moved his business to Singapore. He's the real victim here.
