Many networks saying Trump is about to escalate to war crimes, ignoring the 165 schoolgirls he killed in a double tap strike. On day one. The single greatest US military atrocity since My Lai in Vietnam has been relegated to an afterthought. Mainstream media has horrifically failed us.

Pls sign & share. I grew up under this law. School never mentioned lesbian or gay life or relationships, somehow everyone was still called a poof or a lemon though. The only time school mentioned it was telling us about "the gay disease" (HIV). Really.

This very straight news piece buried deep within the FT never uses words like corruption or insider dealing but every detail is quietly devastating. Why is the FT virtually alone in the UK media in covering this important story?

I have never reported the man who raped me or any of the men who have sexually assaulted me to the police. Neither have many of the women I know who have survived such violence. And that's just what's reported â let alone who gets charged, or, god forbid, actually convicted.
