Watching "The Disappearance of Madeleine McCann" on netflix, and I could swear that they just said the codename for the investigation into her disappearance was
"Operation Omega"
disclaimer: I've had half of an InPeachMint cocktail already... but I watched it twice.
double shit... I might be jumping the gun here, but i'd be damned if that e-fit of the woman from Barcelona didn't look like Ghislaine Maxwell...
the elevated eyebrow 👆🏼 and all.
prolly just a coincidence.
she doesn't sound like she has a non-standard British, possibly Australian accent, does she?
ICYMI, Ghislaine Maxwell is the top recruiter for Jeffrey Epstein's child sex trafficking ring.
One other bit that is helping - reporting the percentage of Republican support for Trump, civic violence, etc, without mentioning the actual proportion of Americans, overnormalizes the opinions that will drive democracy into the grave.
The proportion of Americans identifying as Republican # has dropped 5-10% since 2005, to an avg ~26% in 2021 (same trend for Dems).
OMG 80% of Republicans believe…
Is really
20% of adult Americans.
Not reporting THAT alongside every partisan percentage is malpractice.
Reporting trends absent that context hyperinflates the power of that fraction of society, both normalizing and enhancing fear and stasis, fomenting distrust and increasing our isolation from our neighbors.
Truth is, 80% of Americans aren’t willing to die for Trump.
