So what if they weaken ECHR human rights protections? So what if they interpret protection from torture differently? Will that improve services? Help the NHS? Bring better food, air & education? Eradicate poverty?
Crushing rights is the most destructive distraction from the wrongs that need fixing.

not enough acknowledgement of how much transphobia (and homophobia and other forms of puritanism) is driven by the obvious sexual thrill that bigots get out of making some aspect of sex or sexuality taboo only to obsessively condemn it in lurid detail

Flood the zone, I guess? Maybe the DOJ should just release ALL the damn files already.
Federal judge orders release of Jeffrey Epstein grand jury records in Florida
The big question is whether, as another judge suspected, this is just a DOJ distraction.

The Justice Department has 13 days to release the Epstein documents. The FBI paid nearly $1M in overtime to redact the FILES. Do you think congress will actually get to see everything? I highly doubt it. 🔄

So, hear me out:
A wholegrain wrap, very lightly smeared with some olive oil and tomato paste.
Add fresh mozzarella and a bit of gruyere, some torn basil leaves, a little bit of prosciutto, a good grind of black pepper.
Then wrap in streaky bacon and bake for 30 minutes.

Europe Sounds the Alarm as the United States Sides With Putin
While Russian drones target NATO allies and Ukraine’s president, Trump’s America abandons its commitments and openly embraces a strategy that weakens Europe and empowers the Kremlin.
