Putin did influence the Brexit referendum.
That's a fact.
The question remains, to what degree were those efforts effective?
Given the tiny margin...Putin's interference could easily have made the difference.

Well, this is an utter disaster for science.
This gutting of peer review is very likely driven by Project 2025/OMB/Vought, very likely is about funding junk science, and very likely is coming for #NIH and biomedical research next.

One way that the reaction to Rob Reiner's murder mirrors Charlie Kirk's is that the best way to eulogize each of them is to quote their words, and in both cases, doing so pisses off conservatives.
Rob Reiner: “Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."

Here they try to back it up a little bit, citing a Guardian report. One problem, though: that Guardian article is from 2015. Ten years ago. Since then, the BBC has introduced widespread VPN blocking (as anyone who’s tried to watch iPlayer using one knows).

Thanks to proposed visa changes, people from outside the US who criticise this post could well be denied entry to the US. That's the free speech and Western values the US now stands for.

This is a textbook case of political asylum.
In late 2020 a Chinese man called Guan Heng travelled to Xinjiang with our BuzzFeed map of detention facilities to provide ground truth for our work - he provided the first corroborating evidence for many sites.
He escaped to the US - then ICE detained him.

Heng Guan is awaiting an immigration hearing on Monday that could lead to his removal from the U.S. and ultimately land him back in China, according to his lawyer and a New York-based activist group.

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

The similarity between what David is doing and what SCOTUS has been doing is that in both cases the entities arguing in bad faith demonstrate that they know *exactly* where the line between right and wrong is—and that they are on the wrong side of it—so they use rhetoric to redefine terms and facts.

It is absolutely wild that the guy who won’t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly what’s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.

EVs beat petrol cars on lifetime emissions — even on “dirty” grids.
Battery production is carbon-intensive, but EVs quickly repay that debt and end up 21–71% cleaner over 250,000 km.
We can’t wait for perfect grids: electrify transport and clean the grid now.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.
