Hey Megyn Kelly,
14-year-old Eloise would like a word:
“If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good…
because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.”
Sound up! 🔥🔊

Where are the riots when white Irish men attack?
Riotous reaction to Citywest allegations were rooted in racism. If your reaction to that is denial — ask yourself where the rioters were after Alanna Quinn Idris was attacked?

My Anne Enright interview: “I am fed up saying I have a problem with authority, and that is why I do not write realism. Naturalistic fiction is a lie – and a dull one at that. This is me changing the narrative from your ‘broken’ to my ‘honest’ or even ‘smart’.”

I think it's fair to say that EVERYONE underestimated how bad it is, and how fast it would go bad. I think everyone is a bit in shock. We have lost out country and it will never recover, at least not in my lifetime. Its so sad. A year ago, America was a really great country.
