Social media influencers fighting against extradition to UK where they face rape, sexual assault and other allegations
Social media influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate will remain in jail at least two more weeks until their next hearing as they fight extradition to the United Kingdom, where the brothers are accused of rape and sex trafficking, a federal judge said on Monday.
US magistrate Lauren Louis set a detention hearing for 13 August to determine whether the Tates should stay in jail or be released during what could be a months-long extradition process.
The brothers were not in court on Monday or required to be there and have remained in jail since making a brief court appearance two days after their 18 July arrest.
The Tates have become among the world’s most polarizing internet personalities with their promotion of wealth, male dominance and misogyny through their social media empire. The new allegations are the latest in a long-running international legal saga involving the Tates that has spanned the US, Britain and Romania. The brothers have repeatedly denied wrongdoing.
Aww, shucky darns. Anyway, how’s everyone’s gardens growing? We started getting tomatoes, but with this heat they’ve stopped ripening. And I’ve def. got a skunk picking and eating my tomatoes. I found the burrow. And there’s 2 half eaten tomatoes just outside the burrow this morning. I gotta do something.
My chillies have been absolutely loving this sunshine, had to prune a fair few branches down because they’re reaching the ceiling from their windowsill perch.
Nice, what kinds are you growing? I’ve got some sweets, and on the hot side habanero, scotch bonnet, and aji rojo. If all goes well I’ll be makin’ hot sauce, soon.
I’ve got a yellow habañero sprouting, some scotch bonnets that have been going for a couple of generations after I rescued the parent plant from a garden centre, and some Rwandan scotch bonnets that I bought as fresh that are growing absolutely massive leaves
I’m very jealous, haven’t had enough to make a decent sauce, most of mine have ended up dried and crushed into fine enough powder that opening the jar makes me sneeze
Only half-eaten, what a waste!
Terrible state of affairs. Deeply concerning.
Yeah shame. I didn’t get the jump on planting I should have this year and decided fuck it I’m just scattering wildflower seeds in all my beds to they have some kind of cover crop. The results have been so spectacular that I might never use the beds for anything else again! Working and working to get a carrot…? What was I thinking!
That’s awesome, the bees, and other pollinators will love it!
I used to have a beautiful organic garden, and one of my best animal repellants was peeing on the borders of my garden. One night I would pee on the corners, another night on the borders. It works, and it’s fun!
