A court has ruled that the government's authoritarian ban on Palestine Action was unlawful. Time to stop criminalising the people protesting a genocide - and start ending the UK's complicity.

DOJ failures to properly redact Epstein files are horrendous. 🧵👇[1/3] Except for a couple of examples that aid journalists in identifying perpetrators, as demonstrated in a beautiful little snippet of multimedia journalism from @tbij.bsky.social 🔎🤓
A screen captured video of an email from the Epstein files. A journalist drags Peter Mandelson’s email address on to a mostly redacted black block, showing that it perfectly lines up with the portion of text poking out of the bottom of the redaction block.

After going viral, #Moltbook is confirmed “more #AI theatre” by @TechnologyReview.com. OpenAI cofounder Andrej Karpathy called it “genuinely the most incredible sci-fi takeoff” - then @gothburz.bsky.social admitted being behind one of its most viral posts, a “manifesto” on AI autonomy. [1/4]

for over 3 weeks, I've spoken to ICE watchers and organizers across the country: first right after Renee Good's killing — then 2 weeks into my reporting, Alex Pretti was killed. ICE watchers are being detained and harassed — but they're also stopping ICE abductions and inspiring others to join them

The US government has tried and failed to get a magistrate judge to sign off on an arrest warrant for Lemon. And then to get a more senior judge to grant it. Seems like they’ve now found a way to get it done – arresting a hugely high profile journalist for reporting is a real threshold.

⚠️ @carbonbrief.org has been analysing UK newspaper editorials on #ClimateAction since 2011. 2025 is the first year opposition to climate action has exceeded support. (Support independent journalism!) www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-uk-...
A line graph showing the steeply rising number of editorials supporting 'less action' and the sharply falling number of editorials supporting 'more action' on climate from 2011 to 2025. The steep rise begins in 2021, and the 'more action' jumps around 2018, reaching a sharp peak in 2021, and falling fairly steadily since.
