Regime court sentenced another opposition leader, Nika Gvaramia, to jail. Gvaramia didn’t attend his trial and literally showed up at the prison entrance with a packed bag before his sentence was even out because we all knew the outcome of the circus. What a badass move!

Also going to be an issue for the rest of the UK tracking EU law on food standards and energy, once dynamic alignment is agreed. Significant government resource will be needed (both to track and, where needed and possible, to influence).

Friday 13th. Stay safe!

If you are coeliac don’t expect to find supper in the Box Hill area of Melbourne! Who knew? I didn’t 😂

“Even just compared to protests that happened last month, people were able to just show up barefaced and march. Now things have changed.” @wired.com

Ballarat train set

AOC to Walz: We are talking about individuals who cheered the pardoning of people who attacked the U.S. Capitol while flying the Nazi flag and the Confederate flag And they want to act offended because someone has the courage to say: if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, maybe it’s a duck.

Compare and contrast. The YT algorithm delivered a Man Alive documentary on the Hippie Trail from 1970 and then DW had a film on the digital nomad experience in Madeira 🤪 youtu.be/YtZ96gIVim8?...

Can someone explain what the fuck this is? Rubio loves his genocidal war criminals who are murdering Ukrainians every single day

Despite clear recommendations from the 1991 Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody, and hundreds of coronial findings, hanging points remain in prison cells. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Politico: becomes a dictator?

Yeah if I thought there was even a 5% chance of being renditioned to Gitmo or El Salvador for the crime of leaving my passport at the hotel, I would simply not travel. This is going to kill tourism.

@alastaircampbell2.bsky.social and @rory-stewart.bsky.social teasing out the USA situation and the UK spending review dynamics 👏👏👏 youtu.be/favft9klZFs?...

"Luce’s story of Brzezinski and his times is narrative history at its best....required reading for all diplomats, Zbig is essential to anyone interested in strategy." Lovely review in Canadian Politics and Public Policy www.policymagazine.ca/ed-luces-zbi...

Odesa was also subjected to a horrific overnight bombardment. Reports indicate that several people were killed and others injured. Among the damaged structures are a maternity hospital, an emergency medical station, a private medical clinic, a sports complex, a zoo, and the railway station building.

TACO?

"She saw the red flags, trained the people now dismantling democracy—and stayed silent too long." This is a great article. How the domestic illusion of security (that 🇬🇪 could never be Russified) got us where we are in a record time - and how Western money trained and enabled the dictatorship. 1/

The Overton Window has shifted all the way to ban all non-white people from coming to America. It was never about illegal immigration.

This was a very well structured explainer by @eliothiggins.bsky.social at the recent Cambridge Disinformation Summit >> @neilperkin.bsky.social @farisyakob.com

Great to see more coverage on UK care services cutbacks and Simon Hoare MP highlighting how closing day centers will impact elderly and disabled people's lives blackmorevale.net/mp-hits-out-...

LAPD fired rubber bullets at Australian journalist @laurentomasi.bsky.social

Don't let this get lost in the LA news. The Israeli government has kidnapped Greta Thunberg and her companions as they were delivering Aid to Gaza.

Federal Judges Are Begging Us to Pay Attention.

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

This government really is looking at the global soft power vacuum the US is leaving and going "oh phew, they've quit this, so now we can to", huh. 🤡

A long weekend for the King’s Birthday celebration tomorrow here in Australia. The weather warnings for cold and rain Victoria set me up for a cookery weekend. First try at Scotch Eggs ✅ another gf caraway loaf ✅ and a Sunday Roast for good measure ✅. Hunkering down! #winter

“As racism has diminished, discussions of identity have become more fraught. Such debates have also served to allow racism to rebrand itself in the language of identity and to reshape perceptions of nationhood and of whiteness.” My ‪@theobserveruk.bsky.social‬: observer.co.uk/news/columni...

Ballarat in for a good soaking as rain travels south to north ☔️

White House: "Violent mobs have attacked ICE officers and Federal Law Enforcement Officers." LAPD: "Today, demonstrations across the City of Los Angeles remained peaceful."

Abolish ICE

Hegseth is now threatening to send the Marines to LA to suppress protesters against ICE’s brutal assault on immigrant garment workers. Just process that: Sending in the *military* to crack down on protesters. We’re now at severe risk of martial law. That’s what they’ve wanted all along.
