People who said the Online Safety Bill was too big, or warned about the danger of scope creep, were too often dismissed as "not caring about child abuse", or "giving criminals a safe space online", or simply as paranoid or "privacy extremists". Well, I've got news for you.

The Online Safety Act comes for livestreaming
Ofcom has launched a blandly titled consultation on “Additional Safety Measures” designed to implement the next round of duties within the Online Safety Act (OSA).

The UK is in collective denial about the damage a populist nationalist government could do given thd absence of checks and balances in our system. Not sure why, since we had a pretty close run a few years ago.

As an American watching our best & most crucial institutions crumble in less than a year under Trump, I suggest you make as many of these changes now, while you can.
We didn’t, obviously.

Nigel Farage accuses teachers of "poisoning our kids" on race issues.

Here's a reminder of what teachers and fellow pupils at Farage's own school remember of his own views on that subject.

We're a long way off an election, and I'm not one to focus on polls.

But I'll take a rare break from that to say: Good grief, it is going to be carnage if anything like this is put through the meat grinder of First Past the Post...

You must defer to the president’s determination that there is an armed rebellion in Chicago, argues the govt’s lawyer.

That’s the Trump admin’s stance on everything. When the law doesn’t allow it, lie about the facts until it’s something that would be legal, then insist others live inside the lie.

Perry: DOJ's definition of rebellion would mean that
"literally all nonviolent protest” could be considered evidence of rebellion. Is that your argument?
Hamilton: The president has determined there is a danger of a rebellion, and you must defer to that finding

It is pretty galling that the Supreme Court spent four years telling Biden "you can't do that without Congress" then allowed Trump to seize a once-unthinkable amount of power from Congress within nine months and concentrate law-making authority almost entirely in the executive branch.

Writing this card at the Post Office Tower. We have just been up the top looking at a lovely view, you could see Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, Houses of Parliament, Tower Bridge & lots of other famous places. On Monday we went to the cinema and had dinner at a Wimpy Bar.

The story of 2024 is this: Trump had a plan to destroy American government called Project 2025, which had, literally, not a typo, a 4% approval rating. He lied constantly and said he wouldn't do it.

Then he entered office and immediately implemented AN EVEN MORE EXTREME VERSION OF IT.

The "somebody showed me a TikTok" era of American government is going pretty much exactly how you'd expect.

RFK Jr: "Somebody showed me a TikTok video of a pregnant woman at 8 months pregnant -- she's an associate professor at the Columbia Medical School -- and she is saying 'F Trump' and gobbling Tylenol with her baby in her placenta. The level of Trump Derangement Syndrome is now a pathology."

In case anyone thinks this is paranoid, Trump’s junta has defined terrorism to include trespass, naming ICE agents on the internet, and whatever “civil disorder” is.
politically motivated terrorist acts such as organized doxing campaigns, swatting, rioting, looting, trespass, assault, destruction of property, threats of violence, and civil disorder

“The order also requires federal agents to wear badges or other “visible identification” so the public can know who they are, with exceptions for those officers who work undercover.
The order applies to all DHS agents — including ICE and Border Patrol — across the Northern District of Illinois.”

Chicagoans won a temporary restraining order today that prevents federal agents from using tear gas, pepper spray and other weapons against journalists and peaceful protesters.
We’re fighting back peacefully in Chicago because — unlike Trump — we believe in the rule of law.
