Last week, Bellingcat conducted an audio analysis to uncover more details in a video that showed a convoy of aid workers struck by gunfire in Gaza. Audio forensics can provide crucial details in open source investigations and help to complete the picture. 🧵⬇️ www.bellingcat.com/news/2025/04...

Excellent piece from @chrisgiles.ft.com. It's notable how, as per Mark Carney's comments, Brexit has become the internationally recognized yardstick of national economic self-harm. It's not even contentious: the talking point is whether and to what extent it applies to what Trump is doing to the US.

🇺🇸 Non-MAGA Americans - listen up! At the Bylines Network (UK), we've a new project to amplify non-MAGA American voices at a time when US media are not adequately capturing the chaos, fear & disruption in people's lives. But we're collecting the stories. This is citizen journalism. Take a look. 👇

⚡️Russian attacks against Ukraine kill 13, injure at least 97 over past day. Ukrainian forces downed 64 out of the 145 Shahed-type and other drones, as well as 48 out of the 70 missiles, launched by Russia overnight, the Air Force reported.

It's hard to get your head around the scale of the environmental vandalism the Labour government is hoping to unleash. The Planning and Infrastructure Bill is up there with Trump's executive orders. And the reason is the same: corporate power. This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

How could a slavery scandal involving the President of the United States be worse than we thought? This extremely long, extremely detailed, and fully sourced PROOF report explains. This—not the tariff war—is the most important story in America right now. I hope you will consider checking it out.

BREAKING: The House will vote on the SAVE Act today. If this bill becomes law, millions of American citizens could be blocked from voting. 1/

It's kind of hilarious the extent to which the Republican Party has abandoned even rhetorical support for "free markets." I mean, this could not be a clearer example of "picking winners & losers," could it?

It’s like everything else with Trump. You transform politics from a field or prosperity to a field of pain, and then you decide who hurts. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

FT: “.. Economists also attacked Trump’s obsession with reducing bilateral trade deficits to zero as economically illiterate .. for example, the US cannot grow its own bananas.” 🍌 @financialtimes.com www.ft.com/content/85d7...

Former cabinet minister Anneliese Dodds calls for “legislative change” to ensure foreign nationals who are not registered to vote in the UK cannot donate to British political parties The debate follows reports late last year that Elon Musk considered donating as much as $100m (£80m) to Reform UK

1/ Tuberculosis has become rife on Russia's front lines, with thousands of soldiers being treated for infections. The disease has spread from conscripted prisoners, but many men are being sent back to the trenches untreated or are simply not being sent for treatment at all. ⬇️

1/ The Trump Administration is seeking to force foreign companies worldwide to ban diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programmes within their firms if they want to do business with the US government. It's an aggressive expansion of its anti-DEI crusade. ⬇️

NEWS: Brexit is a key factor in medicine shortages. “This wave of medicine shortages has already meant people struggle to find the drugs their doctors told them were needed for conditions like epilepsy and cystic fibrosis." Deeply worrying. ⤵️

Hearing that firms are caving left and right after Paul Weiss. Many are eliminating all litigation and representation that is adverse to the Trump administration, including amicus briefs. Nonprofits and law clinics are next. We are watching the end of the rule of law in real time.

The only fair way to handle this is to appoint a team of teenagers to tear this company limb from limb until we find out what kind of financial damage they are hiding and where

Good luck, US, in launching your next military recruitment drive.

Profit out of misery

‼️Russia just set an entire city in Ukraine on fire with a mass attack of drones, over 30 explosions were heard, now multiple neighborhoods of kropyvnytskyi are seen going up in flames. Home to approximately 300.000 civilians. Another despicable crime! #RussiaIsATerroristState

When I wrote my camps book, people sometimes had difficulty understanding how concentration-camp regimes were proud of what they were doing and wanted attention for it, even as they also hoped to keep many aspects secret and terrorize vulnerable classes. Anyway, this is what that looks like.

Hitler ended democracy in Germany in 53 days. Today is the 53rd day of the Trump presidency, and the White House has announced that it does not believe a federal district court judge can issue an injunction against the White House. It can. The Constitution says so. This is a constitutional crisis.

A bit of good news for a change

From this morning’s FT. It should be illegal for political parties or individual politicians to accept funds from foreign sources. Give me a single reason why not?

10 March 1933: Under the new Nazi rule, Jewish lawyer Dr Michael Siegel was beaten & forced to march through Munich for seeking justice. The lesson of 1933? The loss of rights often begins with small steps. It’s our duty to remain vigilant. Read the full shocking story: tinyurl.com/mryn3hzx

Judith Butler: "Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic, because that means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice, and a third, a fourth, and then what happens?"

It seems this petition to rejoin the EU is being debated in Parliament on 24th March. 127,000 signatures so far. I signed it. I think it's a good time to have this debate. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

The rumors are true: The proposed SAVE Act, now considered a priority for Republicans in the House, will make it harder, if not practically impossible, for millions of women to vote.

This will happen - you must protest, you must resist!

There is increasing fear in Germany that F-35 jets purchased for the German army can be "turned off" remotely by Washington. This fear is shared by defense and security specialists.

The very fabric of fascism is ignoring the rule of law and justice. The Federalist should be banned for this very suggestion of ignoring the Supreme Court.
