Making pictures of Trump getting arrested while waiting for Trump's arrest.

Boris’s defence that he wouldn’t have used taxpayers money to photograph the downing st parties if he knew he was breaking the rules misses the point. Boris doesn’t think rules apply to him. #partygate

It's been a long time coming: Sondra Crosby, MD Brock Chisholm and I are happy to announce that our article "The Darkness: Deprivation of sunlight as a form of torture" is published in the Journal on Rehabilitation of Torture Victims & Prevention of Torture tidsskrift.dk/torture-journa…

Sondra Crosby, MD Brock Chisholm Deprivation of sunlight should be considered independently as a method of torture, given its prevalence in detention settings and the harms it can cause

Interesting IRCT vicente garcia Journal article on the deprivation of #sunlight, common in #solitaryconfinement, as a form of #torture. By Jane Kilpatrick, Sondra Crosby, MD & Brock Chisholm tidsskrift.dk/torturejournal…

Every talented psychopath knows that yelling violence or swearing are not needed to control and intimidate people less powerful than their victims. When exposed, most psychopaths consider themselves a victim.

@eljgales2 Did I ever tell you what my friend witnessed in a pub somewhere (he can't remember) in North Wales. A yellow trousered toff asked for "half of what the locals drink". Barman said, "only cunts drink halves". He said, "right, make it a pint" and the barman served him two halves.

This is inexcusably wrong. Blame first on Facebook who knew what they were doing. Ignorance is no excuse but intent is different. Charities rely on unpaid trustees. Facebook on highly paid executives. ⁦expected better from Nick Clegg⁩ theguardian.com/society/2023/j…

❗️ Julian Assange's legal case has been marked by irregularities & conflicts of interest. Time is running out to save his life. Are you an official with a conscience and with information on his treatment by the UK? Please contact us in confidence 👉declassifieduk.org/contact-us/

New article from @alisonspycops about #spycops interim report. "I should never have met Mark “Cassidy” Jenner who infiltrated my life for five years and who, after disappearing, lived rent-free in my head for way too long." theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

This is probably as close as it gets to «Deep State ». You’ll note its the left* that were spied on but people identifying as right who fear deep state. * I don’t ascribe to left right divisions. There is autocratic leaning and human rights orientated #spycops

Fantastic and informative interactive discussion with Narine Khachatryan from Bellingcat on coping mechanisms when working with traumatic material at work. Supported by @TraumaInt on.soundcloud.com/YYLcNCeFyCEyGi…

Breaking my self imposed twitter ban to express joy that Julian Assange is finally free!

This would be transformative… if the support were there to support whistleblowers. My fear is that it would lead to greater polarisation. Managers fighting harder to silence to keep job rather than admitting wrongdoing theguardian.com/politics/artic…
