Here’s what you need to know about Starmer’s illiberal protest curbs: they would have killed the Labour party at birth | George Monbiot

This is a niche - and frankly not shocking - local union gripe. Why would a national news outlet cover this? Also, I have sources in the unions and I think (shockingly) the FP framing is a bit overblown. Cops are usually very skeptical of the left but also hopeful for better pay.

CBS News would never put a thinly sourced 'story' by a rookie blogger like this on it's air. Until now. The Free Press isn't a journalism outlet, it's bloggers aren't reporters. This piece is more NYPost than Tiffany Network but I guess that's the goal.

Name changes were real wins for Indigenous communities. But as Trump rolls these back, @josephvlee.bsky.social argues that we have lost sight of why those name changes were important in the first place. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Renaming Columbus Day Was Never the End Goal

Don’t let fights over names distract you from the real fights over Indigenous land, sovereignty, and rights.

Senadores queriam diminuir a pena por fake news de reclusão de 1 a 4 anos para detenção de 2 meses a 1 ano; além, redefiniram o marco de inelegibilidade da Ficha Limpa e reduziria a quarentena eleitoral para policiais, militares, juízes e promotores.

A Oposição quer, DE NOVO, enfiar o voto impresso nas eleições dizendo que isso "pacificaria o Brasil". O Governo deixou claro que isso não vai passar porque o STF já considerou a impressão de voto inconstitucional por violar o sigilo do voto.

Trump in Egypt: "This country is doing very well. It has good leadership. It's nice when you say, 'How is your crime situation?' and they don't even know what you're talking about. Because if he has crime he puts it out very quickly. Some people think that's not nice, but I think it's great."

While feeds in the US, Europe, and Israel’s neighbors have been filled with ghastly images of death and harrowing casualty statistics in Gaza, most of this information has not reached the audience that arguably needs to see it most: the Israeli public.
