If Taylor Swift really wanted a private wedding venue she should’ve considered the National Mall.

How is this not a 25A issue? The US is a deeply unserious and flawed political system. Executive power without Collective Cabinet responsibility, Without actual Parliamentary oversight, Without the means to change Executive itself. & With executive immunity? All lead to corruption & malfeasance

Brilliant article that frames the abomination of the NI race riots perfectly. If nothing else. It gives a sad reality to that old joke of the Muslim tourist visiting Belfast in the '80s being stopped & asked their religion. Aye, but are you a Catholic Muslim or a Protestant one?

Anger over the police killing of 1-year-old Kohen Wiley is mounting in the small town of Senatobia, Mississippi. Hundreds took to the streets in protest and police tear-gassed a crowd outside the Walmart where an officer shot the infant. Officials are not releasing bodycam or security footage.

Sorry BBC, this framing is not only false equivalence, it is wrong in point of fact. The pro-Palestine march today commemorates the anniversary of the Nakba, the tragedy of Zionist colonisation of Palestine. Nakba Day was yesterday. Painting this as a “rival” march is a fallacy, and invents animus

If the Voting Rights Act is rightly seen by many of us as the real beginning of American democracy, then it is fitting that a Court hell-bent on undoing democratic rule, including granting the president king-like powers, would seek to dismantle it.

The John Roberts Court has done more to reduce the political power of poor people and Black people while enlarging the voting rights of rich people and corporations than has any court since Roger Taney was Chief Justice in the 1800s. I opposed his nomination in 2005, and I stand by that.

The imbalances created by the Hormuz closure will reverberate quite a while yet. Tankers must offload. Storage must be brought back to normal levels in the Gulf. That needs empty VLCCs, who are either full or heading elsewhere. The price shock will continue until that imbalance is fixed

Gen X here; was 16. I'm pretty sure this headline in 1987 would have drawn equal shares among "That creep?" "That clown?" and "Who?" Clearly the ReaganBushes dropped the anti-Soviet ball big-time, though.

Here's the crucial part of the summary of today's Court of Appeal judgment (full text of the judgment not yet public). The Home Office raised the ECHR in written proceedings, but not oral argument. The rest of the summary makes no mention of the ECHR. It seems it was not the basis of the judgment.
