Pro-rape parties want the assaults to continue and the victim to be further terrorized and that's not even unusual, I regret to say, but it would be super-nice if Letitia James would investigate and prosecute whoever's doing this.

As I’ve written before, there’s no distinction between politics and the car industry in Germany. Three state governors from different parties are once again calling on Europe to allow the internal combustion engine free rein. To be honest, they're incapable of thinking.

The jackals are out, as they usually are for a woman who speaks up in a way that challenges patriarchy. (And a lot of why victims don't come forward or withdraw--as a Weinstein victim did--is because the misogynist public and legal system launch their own punitive assaults.)

Climate change affects everything. "These threats are not regarded as some far-off or remote contingency: disastrous impacts, for instance on the UK’s food supply, could be expected as soon as 2030, it warns."
What is the report?
In the first report of its kind, the UK’s spy chiefs set out stark warnings of the catastrophic risks to the UK from the collapse of vital ecosystems around the world, driven by the climate crisis and our failures to protect nature. The Guardian has seen part of the report and has spoken to a large number of people familiar with its contents, which warn of food shortages, conflicts, mass migration and other threats to the UK’s national security, including going as far as the risk of nuclear war or the breakdown of society. These threats are not regarded as some far-off or remote contingency: disastrous impacts, for instance on the UK’s food supply, could be expected as soon as 2030, it warns.
