This isn't just creepy right-wing interference in others' sex lives and turning women into baby factories. This is eugenics. Yes, like the Nazis. Gift link. Heritage paper on families calls for ‘marriage bootcamp,’ more babies wapo.st/3NjnQbg

Yup ‘A 15 year old was forced into acts with Epstein & OTHERS & then attempted to escape off the Little St James Island. Epstein & others organised a search party that located her & kept her captive by amongst other things confiscating her passport’ vicourts.hosted.civiclive.com/common/pages...

Whether they realize it or not, all these CEOs getting in bed with Trump for short-term benefit to exploit his transactional corruption are self-inflicting long-term reputational damage to themselves personally and their brands. The stink of Trump never washes off.

They have the ISDS (International State Dispute Settlement) provision in the CPTPP agreement I believe. Did our membership of it ever get ratified? Wonder if ISDS is in any of the UK Freeport/SEZ contracts and potentially with the water companies eg Thames Water?

Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy: “Important to remember that Trump isn’t trying to heal or keep the peace. He is looking to inflame and divide. His movement doesn’t believe in democracy or protest - and if they get a chance to end the rule of law they will take it. None of this is on the level.”

Trump sending refugees to Rwanda.

Marisa Kabas@marisakabas.bsky.social

SCOOP — The US sent Iraqi refugee Omar Ameen to Rwanda via new diplomatic relationship in which they've agreed to act as a "third country" for deportees unable to be safely returned to their country of origin, per cables reviewed by me. This is first reported instance. Cable indicates more to come.

Referring to Trump 2.0, Palantir co-founder Peter Thiel recently said that he’s the “most hopeful about things” that he’s been “in a long time” bc “the opposition is completely exhausted” & whereas Trump 1.0 “got blocked on every level,” this time is different & will be Trump’s “real 1st term.” 1/

The guy on the left of Trump in this FBI office is reported to be Thomas Crooks - the alleged Butler rally shooter who was shot dead by the Secret Service at the scene. Looks like Trump was in on the deadly deception which also killed a Trump supporter.

Musk’s Direct-to-Cell constellation and the U.S. election. Background: This began in 2022 as “digging,” when Musk launched his bid to purchase Twitter at $20B over value, just 49 days after Putin invaded Ukraine. A convo re NATO considering Article 5 over Cyber attacks prompted the original post.

Just an hour after Elon retweeted claims Slim had ties to drug cartels, the Mexican billionaire announced the transfer of all of his projects with Starlink for the next 5 years – worth $22Bn – to companies in China & Europe. The genius co-president just lost his main partner in 25 countries.
