Coercive control isn’t just a factor in sexual/domestic abuse. History tells us in NI that it’s used by some to encourage children to commit crime. Strengthens the argument to raise the criminal age to 14. Focus should be on those adults who encouraged children to riot.

History will remember the millions of people who died around the world from preventable deaths because of Musk's DOGE cuts. History will remember Musk's enabling, amplifying, and funding of 21st-century fascism across the West.
History will remember Elon Musk alongside DaVinci, Gutenberg, Fulton, Pasteur, Edison, Ford and Jobs. History will have no recollection of any kind of Ro Khanna.

The vast majority of people in NI, from every race, creed & political affiliation, reject racism as it showed itself on Monday night. Pogrom an accurate word. I don’t understand why political unionism can’t support unionists who oppose it by attending the rally 🤷🏼‍♀️

"Bread and circuses": To mark Trump's birthday, UFC fights are taking place in front of the White House today for the first time. While the US grapples with political crises, social division, and the consequences of his own policies, Trump stages bloody cage fights in front of the White House to mark his birthday. This is reminiscent less of a modern democracy than of ancient Rome: bread and circuses—spectacle over responsibility. A president who turns the nation’s highest institution into a stage for bloody entertainment reveals one thing above all: his penchant for self-aggrandizement, displays of power, and distraction from the country’s actual problems.

The Norwich Peregrine chicks have fledged! We’ll continue to monitor their progress, giving us the chance to watch these juveniles grow stronger and more confident as they develop their flying skills, learn to hunt, and become increasingly independent.

Yet another fossil fuel crisis is pushing Asia towards electrification and renewables at a faster pace.
Asia’s reliance on fossil imports makes it vulnerable to supply and price shocks. Fortunately, even before tensions around the Strait of Hormuz, the cost of solar batteries and EVs already undercut their fossil counterparts in Asia. ember-energy.org/latest-insi…

There’s an alternate world where unionist politicians are planting trees and debating raising the age of criminal responsibility on SM.
