- Reposted by Eve LivingstonI hadn’t known this. Two men who were accused of sexual abuse on the Shitty Media Men document that I created back in 2017 reached out to Michael Wolff for help as they looked to sue me, and Wolf forwarded their concerns to Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein offered to help. www.jmail.world/thread/EFTA0...
- Legal people: can the public take notes in Scottish courts? Today I was asked for my press ID because “we can’t just have anyone coming in taking notes”. I had always assumed you literally could have anyone coming in taking notes?!
- I have press ID and am happy to show it btw! I know *I’m* allowed to take notes. But I never questioned whether the general public were too?!
- Extremely jarring to see women being harassed and assaulted referred to as "a sexual safety problem"
- Reposted by Eve LivingstonI find this sickening, tbh. The claim that simply being in the presence of a trans woman creates a “a hostile, humiliating and degrading environment” for cis women could not be more transphobic* if it tried. *Literally: showing discrimination against, aversion to, or fear of, transgender people

- What does it mean to grow up in a "company town" in 2025? Sellafield, Europe's largest nuclear site, invests millions and employs thousands in Whitehaven, Cumbria. But not all young people feel the benefits are reaching them equally. I visited for The Guardian: www.theguardian.com/environment/...
- Reposted by Eve Livingston🚨 Our new investigation out today reveals how thousands of people who've taken their bosses to employment tribunals & won, never got paid, even after they approached the government for help. This has serious implications for the Employment rights bill. www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2025...

- Reposted by Eve LivingstonNo10 spokesman not prepared to criticise anything about Farage speech today. Not his description of "invasion", not his prediction that the UK on brink of civil war, not plans to pay the Taliban or Iran to take back migrants, or indeed to rule out doing so themselves.

- Reposted by Eve LivingstonWhich is what identity politics as coined by the Combahee River Collective, was intended to do. Be the center of a critical politic that builds solidarity within and across identities that share that questioning of power, not a replacement for that critical politic.

- Reposted by Eve LivingstonImportant podcast by @everebecca.bsky.social who spent months speaking to policewomen abused by their police office partners. Particularly interesting insight into how forces responded to murder of Sarah Everard Listen to the podcast here: t.co/7eJuVEiQWF Eve's story for the Observer:
- Reposted by Eve LivingstonRooting out abusers and transforming the cultures that enable them is vital and urgent work if we are to address the extreme loss of trust and confidence in the justice system it has caused. observer.co.uk/news/nationa...
- Reposted by Eve LivingstonThe power held by police officers means they should meet the highest standards of conduct. Yet systemic, institutional failures have allowed police-perpetrated abuse to persist unchecked, with abusers rarely facing meaningful consequences.
- Reposted by Eve Livingston"When a domestic abuser is also a fellow police officer, victims have been subjected to further trauma as forces close ranks against them."

- Reposted by Eve Livingston🧵1/2 📢 This article highlights the urgent need for change in policing. We have long called for meaningful reform to ensure officers who abuse their power are removed from the force.
- Reposted by Eve LivingstonIf you missed it earlier this week, there's also an audio doc where you can hear from the women in their own words. We can't use their real names or voices - but they are determined for their stories to mean something & keen to hear your thoughts: bsky.app/profile/ever...
- Reposted by Eve LivingstonThis is the story of three policewomen abused by other officers - of how their perpetrators' police training, authority and access shaped their abuse, and how their forces abused them all over again when they tried to speak up: observer.co.uk/news/nationa...
- Reposted by Eve LivingstonTheir experiences are horrifying; there are dozens of details that each made my jaw drop when I heard them. But I was also in awe of their strength & solidarity - how finding each other has saved them all, and made them into activists determined to change things together.
- Reposted by Eve LivingstonShe wanted to talk about what she'd been through, and what happened when she tried to speak up to her own force. And she wanted to introduce me to her friends - two more policewomen, from two more forces, who had eerily similar stories of abuse, gaslighting, and closed ranks.
- Reposted by Eve Livingston🧵 In February, I got a message from Anna*, a female police officer. She was a domestic abuse specialist, responding daily to calls from women abused by their partners. But she was also in an abusive marriage herself, for more than a decade - and her abuser was another officer.
- Reposted by Eve LivingstonI am not even surprised at this point. Of course this happens. Pattern of behaviour. But thank Goddess that Eve got the story out.
- 🚨ICYMI I’ve spent months talking to policewomen abused by fellow officers about how their partners used police training and authority to facilitate abuse - and how their own forces closed ranks when they asked for help. Read: observer.co.uk/news/nationa... Listen: open.spotify.com/episode/5j5L...

- Thanks to everyone who has read/listened/shared/responded. It was a long and difficult process to get this story out and I really want it to get a wide audience for the brave women who gave so much. The article/podcast are complementary - please check out both and I’ll share any responses with them!
- And needless to say, if you have a similar story you want to share, I promise to treat it with total confidentiality and the utmost sensitivity. Please reach out (details on my bio/website)
- Reposted by Eve LivingstonMany years ago, my aunt was brutally beat near to death by her husband who was a policeman. My aunt survived but was crippled for life, and eventually died of her injuries in her 60’s I’d met him a year or so before it happened, and he looked like and behaved like a control freak.

- Reposted by Eve Livingston"Taylor never knew what to expect; he could switch in an instant from loving and affectionate to aggressive and distant, isolating her from family and friends, and saying she was “crazy”, “mental” and “made stuff up”. This is an extraordinary report and I strongly advise reading it.
