Survivor of Jeffrey Epstein breaks down in tears describing the moment she learned her name was revealed while the rich and powerful remained protected by redactions Roza: I kept my identity protected as Jane Doe. I woke up one day with my name mentioned over 500 times.

They paused Oversight Committee hearings the minute we started getting answers about the Epstein files. Now it’s “roundtables”: no rules, no oaths, no subpoenas. You do the math. Because the moment accountability shows up, they shut it down. The survivors deserve better.

And in today’s Telegraph 👀 "Mr Delo was born in Sheffield and worked for IBM and JP Morgan before founding his own company in 2014. In 2022 he pleaded guilty in the US to failing to implement an anti-money laundering programme, but was pardoned by Donald Trump, the US president, last year."

Dear Christian, If you’re demanding that the Ten Commandments be put up in public schools, but you’re not holding this president or his administration accountable to a single one of them, please don’t act like you actually take them seriously.

What time to be alive! Are the white men in the room with us right now?! Telegraph going Liz truss deep-end batshit crazy on us now. Is this what happens at the end of capitalism?!

Yemen’s Houthis have announced they’ll be joining the war in support of Iran shortly. Analysts expect them to shut down another strait, Bab El-Mandeb, which will close the Suez Canal. The global economy hangs by a thread.

Donald has killed a geriatric mass murdering fundamentalist & replaced him with a younger and more extreme version, all while saving the Russian war machine by spiking the oil price. Nice not to be the only master strategist.

This is an absolutely huge jump in oil prices. It's also why Europe needs to get off fossil fuels asap (beyond climate change impact). We can't be beholden to this.

I know leaving is a privilege and I don’t say any of this lightly. But I was lucky enough to grow up through some genuinely good times. The 90s felt full of possibility. The early 2000s felt affordable and fun. I’d like to find some of that again somewhere.

The 2012 Olympics still sits with me as the last time this country felt like itself. Everyone together, for once. I’m not sure we’re finding our way back to that. So I’m going to go and look for it somewhere else.

It’s not only the racism, though that alone is enough. The hostility toward LGBT people has been growing too. The contempt just feels more open now. These things don’t usually arrive on their own.

I think now that WW III is all but inevitable, trump is trying to walk back his stupid, stupid, stupid decision to start a war with Iran. He's now claiming he thought Iran was going to attack the US first. How can a president be so stupid and how can Americans be for electing him.

New reporting finds that Trump's DOJ took over and quashed a state investigation into Epstein's New Mexico ranch in 2019. As the walls close in on Trump, he'll do anything — including launch full-scale wars — to distract the public.

Macron remarks are notable- some quotes: "We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks that are controlled either by large American entrepreneurs or large Chinese companies, whose interests are not at all the survival or proper functioning of our democracies."

A 68-year-old Russian stood on a bridge in Moscow holding a poster saying "Putin Hitler", then jumped into the river, Russian Telegram channels report. He was pulled out of the water and is surrounded by a large number of police officers.

Today is VE Day—a day to remember the sacrifice made to defeat fascism in Europe. It’s ironic that, 80 years later, many celebrate that victory while supporting elected leaders whose rhetoric and policies echo the very ideologies we swore never to let rise again. Lest we forget… seems we have.

This "WHO'S NEVER COMING BACK" document published by the White House should be "EXHIBIT A" in any forthcoming hearing where a judge/justice has asked the White House to prove how it is "facilitating" the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia lived in Maryland with his wife and their three children, and has never been charged with any crime. The Department of Homeland Security issued him a work permit, and he joined a union, working full time as a sheet metal apprentice.

While Trump and co meddle in Canada, Elon Musk is continuing his war on democracy in the UK. As the US continues to deteriorate politically from the recent Trump election "victory", the regressives are still in full swing against democracy worldwide.

I believe Kemi Badenoch is guilty of computer hacking. Perhaps the Media would like to be outraged at her being Leader of the Opposition? But of course they won't be when it is their team.
