#abuse

I was saying to someone online that the most disappointing thing about not being able to get away from #abuse #neglect #CoersiveControl is that people themselves won’t help you.

They think it’s someone else’s job or the government will fix it (there’s no funding, esp for severly disabled people). Some will help with money which is great but a place to stay isn’t offered in Australia. (Other countries have been generous though which is so strange, but Melbourne? Nope.)

Aren’t there tons of people out there alone in a big house with no money struggling but unable or unwilling to downsize? There’s articles about it. I can help you out! I just need a #room and can pay #board. Just a quiet environment and some minor help would good! Carer Pension and/or Allowance is also possible if things work out.

I don’t get why people won’t #rent a room out. They could be my way to escape.

After France and Europe discovered the French far right party, and specifically its leader LePenn were abusing European Parliament funds (tried, guilty), investigators have found millions more theft, both in France and at the Europe level.

Thugs gotta thug.

This is enabling misogyny and abuse - the victim is expected to be silent, not even know how to complain, respond or leave. It’s difficult to imagine a more dangerous promotion to men and women anywhere in the world. It’s a version of the Tates, Peterson and the rest of these influencers and how they view women - silent, ornamental, to be used and discarded as they deem appropriate.

Is ‘princess treatment’ a harmless trend – or yet more fuel for misogyny? | Emma Beddington | The Guardian theguardian.com/commentisfree/

The Guardian · Is ‘princess treatment’ a harmless trend – or yet more fuel for misogyny?By Emma Beddington

The Polis are taking liberties with the law - less than 3% of those arrested were postured and the article makes no mention of the percentage who were actually convicted. And this is with the full support of Westminster.

#AbregoGarcia alleges that he lost 31 pounds in his first two weeks at #CECOT due to #malnutrition, #sleep deprivation, and #physical #abuse. His cell, shared with 20 other inmates, was overcrowded, with no mattresses, no windows, and bright lights kept on 24 hours a day. He claims #detainees were forced to kneel through the night and were #beaten if they collapsed from #exhaustion. He was denied access to a bathroom, resulting in him soiling himself.
