told the Post about his tour of Epstein’s townhouse, where Epstein showed him his “massage room.” Lutnick said he was quickly “disgusted,” before asserting that Epstein’s rich and famous associates not only knew about his bad behavior but “participated.” He called Epstein a “blackmailer,”

"‘F***ing Dumbass’: Trump Officials Want Howard Lutnick Sidelined After Epstein Comments" Trump's commerce secretary called Epstein ‘the greatest blackmailer ever' & his colleagues are now super mad at him. Another scoop from Zeteo's newest reporter @swin24.bsky.social:

Maybe if I start chasing ICE agents asking them for the Epstein files they'll go back to hiding

A system that can reduce every human relationship to a data point will never stop at border control. Once normalized on the vulnerable, it becomes the template for control of everyone. If you live in Vermont or California & you’re in intel or cyber, consider this ICE role - take over the machine.

I know these places are open sewers at the best of times but it is worrying to see just how comfortable people are spewing antisemitism in response to the murders at the synagogue in Manchester

A statement from the Muslim and Jewish Co-Chairs of the Optimistic Alliance following the terror attack in Manchester

Violence targeting sacred spaces is an assault on humanity itself. My heart goes out to the innocent lives lost in Manchester.

… I knew that the far right would weaponise that a British man of Syrian descent seemingly perpetrated the attack. They already are. Both the far right and radicalised Islamists want us divided. They hate a multiculturalism and interfaith connection…

BREAKING: 1 victim at yesterday's terror attack in Manchester was killed by police as a bullet fired at the terrorist went through the doors of the synagogue and struck a person inside, CNN report

as of 11:13

Sorry, but wtaf? I mean, that's just...messed up. Two innocent people shot by police, potentially. Were they even trying to aim?

Sir Keir Starmer and Lady Victoria Starmer had a private reflection in front of the synagogue where two people were killed

‘We are one community, this will not break us’: Manchester reacts to synagogue attack

"As a Muslim, I've never heard someone being called 'Jihad'." Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood was 'very surprised' to hear the name of the Manchester synagogue attacker, but tells @nickferrarilbc.bsky.social that was his name 'from birth'.

Im sorry the Home secretary says anti genocide protestors should stop protesting for a while due to the synagogue attack. I thought this wasn't connected?

Some thoughts on on the Manchester synagogue attack: 1. This is the first deadly attack against Jews in the UK in my lifetime. That's a big contrast with the US and France, which have seen numerous fatal antisemitic terrorist attacks in recent decades.

We drive past this synagogue on our way back to Burnley. Regardless of the way 🇮🇱 is treating 🇵🇸, this is disgraceful. Jews are not responsible for Netanyahu's war crimes. BBC News - www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cx... Manchester police name synagogue attacker as two men confirmed dead - BBC News

Faith leaders from across Scotland have condemned the attack on Heaton Park synagogue in Manchester

As Yom Kippur ends, our thoughts are with all those affected by today’s attack in Manchester. May we find strength, courage, and unity as we stand together against hatred in all its forms #BritainStandsTogether @togethercoalition.bsky.social

ACC Houston said the force is "actively communicating" with community and faith leaders. He added: "While there is no intelligence to suggest any specific threat in Scotland, I want to take this opportunity to ask the public to remain alert but not alarmed. Sky

The Manchester Council of Mosques and the Anwaarul Haramain Jam’e Masjid have released statements.

History teaches that in times of intense global conflict, antisemitism finds its most fertile ground. The seeds of that hate—watered by the lie of collective Jewish responsibility—have borne the bitter fruit of terror in Manchester on Yom Kippur. We cannot allow this poison to grow.

The Guardian

Police Scotland have issued an update following a terror attack at a synagogue in Manchester on Thursday.

So deeply saddened by today's devastating events in Manchester. This is simply not the way to resolve a terrible situation. We must all try to pull together for peace and understanding.

Reports of a deadly knife attack at a synagogue in Manchester, England on Yom Kippur — the holiest day on the Jewish calendar — are horrific and heartbreaking. LAPD continues to operate increased patrols at places of worship across Los Angeles to keep Angelenos safe.

A Statement of Solidarity from the Faith Network for Manchester

What is coming out of the aftermath of the shocking events at Heaton Park Synagogue is a sense of strong community. Statements from the local faith communities emphasise the closeness of the people in the area regardless of their faith. This is our country. Fartage, Tice & Robinson take note.

If you’re wondering if it’s appropriate to reach out to Jewish friends/colleagues when there’s an attack on a synagogue (especially on a date as important as Yom Kippur), don’t hesitate. You don’t know the political leanings of the folks who were in that shul, nor should it matter.

Terrorism seeks to divide - journalists shouldn’t do their job for them. After an appalling Yom Kippur synagogue attack, @davidyelland.bsky.social warns the media’s chase for ever more ‘extreme’ opinions risks feeding that divide.
