Carole Cadwalladr was right and we’d be in a better world if more people had listened.

This tweet has been doing the rounds on Twitter now that Nathan Gill has pleaded guilty.

If only someone had tried to investigate UKIP & Russian interference 🧐

There’s another timeline where the Guardian supported me, doubled down on the investigation & I look 5 years younger ..

As protests in Georgia persist, Georgian Dream tightens the law:

Covering your face, blocking roads, or setting up protest structures can now mean 15–20 days in jail.
Repeat it within a year, and it’s a criminal offense — up to 1 year, or 2 years for multiple “offenses.”

..incredible work.
Viktoriia had actually been killed on 19 September 2024.

The 27 year old's body was not returned until February when finally the sickening torture became clear.

Investigators found she was killed in Perm region, and Slidstvo named those responsible.

Georgia's puppet govt will toughen penalties for violating protest regulations, the ruling party announced.

Participation in any demo banned by the pro-Moscow authorities will result in 60 days detention.

Yesterday a women's march took place in Tblisi, called "You won't take Georgia prisoner."

It's impossible to fly into, or out of, Gelendzhik, Krasnodar + Astrakhan airports in Russia right now.

Well, unless you're strapped to a Ukrainian drone, and that's not advisable!

That's now 4 Russian airports out of action again.

🤬 The Russian commander who gave the order to shoot three civilians in Kupyansk has been identified

This is Andrey Syrotyuk, commander of the 121st Regiment of the 68th Motorized Rifle Division of the 6th Combined Arms Army of the Russian Federation.

'Quoting the President'.

That's something the Administration will have to crack down on.

Seems entirely reasonable for any European country having to shut down their airspace to respond with parity; enhanced Ukraine funding to aid dispatch of drones to take flight paths in the vicinity of Russian airports.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.
