Being accused of asking "insubordinate" questions by Trump surely has to be a career highlight for Mary Bruce, as it would be for any reporter. Well done ABC News.

In Maryland, where Sharita Cristwell and Harry Lindsey lived with their two daughters, strangulation was made a felony five years ago. But experts say it’s often treated too lightly in court.
She told police her ex strangled her. Weeks later, they say, he shot her.
Prosecutors, experts and family say Cristwell’s story reflects the complicated reality of domestic violence and a system that too often fails those it’s meant to protect.

Nigel Farage is actually quoted as saying that the Home Secretary ‘sounds like a Reform supporter’ with these horrible policies. She probably thinks that’s a good thing - most right minded people think it’s a disgrace.
Just wilful performative cruelty that is entirely out of step with the majority of British people.

How many Labour MPs got into politics in order to vote for stealing jewellery off of people seeking refuge from war and persecution?

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you.

The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

A couple of bits I've written lately. Overdue as I haven't been able to bring myself to use Twitter and my self-promotion is, in any case, dire 🧵

I'm likely to post mostly about #Ukraine and Eastern 🇪🇺 bc that's where I've worked and volunteered, but also about conflict and human rights abuses elsewhere. #Journalism, #literature (esp poetry) and #photography may make an appearance. Please make yourself known to me so I can give you a follow!
