@BillAckman Because ‘grooming’ broadens the set of behaviours that can be considered criminal and therefore expands the ability of the police and prosecutors to combat preparatory behaviours before the worst case scenario happens.

@BillAckman We have always called rape by its name in the UK. The grooming offences introduced under the Sexual Offences Act 2003 were *new* offences, created partly after consultation with victims, not a re-naming of rape.

@BillAckman Islamist pedophile rape slaver gangs. All the wives who encouraged their husbands behavior need to be prosecuted as well. UK law has something similar to RICO. In contrast, 70,000 British civilian casualties during WW2. If the MP’s number of 250,000 is correct, casus belli.

@BillAckman Grooming is a term that has been used among multidisciplinary investigators to describe the process for years. It is not a woke term. It is a career specific term used by those who fight child predators. Educate yourself before posting.

Oekraïne stuurt graan, het land is één van de grootste graanschuren ter wereld. Ze verzuipen daar in het graan. Daar heeft Nederlands belastinggeld weinig mee te maken, vrees ik.

Oh man, domlinks nu op het orgel dat @henkvermeer wel op de loonlijst van het Kremlin zal staan. Kritiek op Oekraïne maakt iemand nog niet pro-Rusland, stelletje idiots.

7. Share a positive message when possible. Trump and his ilk want the country to be fearful and polarized because this is the soil from which their darkest policies will grow. While it’s essential to stand in fierce opposition to his regime, we must also stand FOR something.

8. Demand accountability. Authoritarians thrive on impunity. It’s critical to hold leaders, corporations, and institutions accountable. Insist on accountability. Corruption and injustice wither under the light of scrutiny.

9. Engage young people. The next generation will inherit the consequences. Engage young people in conversations about democracy, freedom, justice, and the climate crisis. Empower them with tools, education, and mentorship to shape the future.

10. Don’t help Trump. Some of Trump's opponents are obsessed with focusing on him personally; thus, they unwittingly amplify and boost his propaganda. By focusing solely on Trump – his ridiculous statements, mannerisms, and antics – Trump's opponents market him.

11. Don’t argue with his supporters. It doesn't work. Your chances of converting a pro-Trump voter are virtually zero. Their support for him is now a physical structure in their brains. Instead of arguing with Trump supporters, focus on motivating pro-democracy citizens.

12. Remember: This is a regime. Trump is not acting alone. He is a puppet of powerful would-be oligarchs who want a government of the billionaires, by the billionaires, and for the billionaires. Expose them.

13. Learn from history. Authoritarianism, oligarchy, and tyranny are not new. Study past movements for democracy and justice to understand what works and what doesn't. History is full of lessons and inspiration to guide us in our current struggle.

14. Support artists and the arts. Literature, music, and art are crucial to a healthy society and a functioning democracy. Fund them and support them in every way you can. Artists, musicians, and writers will help inspire the changes we need. Buy tickets, buy art, buy books!

15. Take care of yourself. This will be a challenging era. Saving democracy will take lots of energy, passion, and stamina. Take care of your health. Get plenty of sleep. Drink lots of water. Exercise. We’re all in this together – for the long haul.

16. Celebrate victories. The road to preserving freedom and democracy will be long and challenging, but it’s essential to recognize progress when it happens. Celebrating victories – no matter how small – can keep hope alive. Optimism and spirit matter!

@GeorgeLakoff This is a strange take. Trump's reelection was the first time I've been optimistic about the direction of the country since the covid tyranny of 2021. You must live in opposite world.

Ach! Gaan we als Europa opnieuw bepalen wat vrouwenrechten zijn? Ondertussen sterven er dagelijks tientallen vrouwen in Gaza, worden vrouwen verkracht in Soedan en levend verbrand in Myanmar! https://t.co/qHd6dS5X0l

@Sargon_of_Akkad @GoodKingLou We have to accept that this goes deep. Very deep. Nationwide. We already know police officers were involved., so who else? How far up the upper echelons of British society did this reach? Was it swept under the carpet for community relations or because of high profile names?

@Sargon_of_Akkad Every country has a "party" centered around their own lack of discernment for evil and lack of moral conviction. Evil will always nest within what refuses to condemn it.

@Sargon_of_Akkad Why did the Communists import r&pe gangs? And how has this been going on since the 70s without the British public doing something about it? I don’t understand the UK legal system

@AutismCapital @elonmusk Trump was not right about the vaccines 💉, and has to this day, defended them. I support him, but this is the glaring blight in his record that still to this day bothers me.
