One more thing. The main drive to ban social media for under-16s comes from a fear of regulating it properly *for adults*. That's a fear of the tech-bros and their power. Governments are more willing to regulate kids than techbros.

Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem.
Thank you.

The UK government didn't want you to see this report on ecosystem collapse. I'm not surprised | George Monbiot
It took an FOI request to bring this national security assessment to light. For ‘doomsayers’ like us, it is the ultimate vindication, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

For sure the US will be tested by Trump's wannabe autocracy, but I stick by the view it will just about come through because it has enough independent institutions. I also stick by the view that most European countries would not because they don't.

I think Russia has no right to Ukraine, at all.
But looking at this clip, I've felt so uneasy.
I didn't know what to expect.
Unease in general: violence is ugly.

ICE killed a Black man, Keith Porter, 7 days before Renee Good, and I hadn't heard about it until today. His vigils went unnoticed. His life came and gone and America forgot to blink.

🚨 BREAKING: I obtained the letter the DOJ sent to Congress about today's Epstein files release. NOW IT ALL MAKES SENSE! The law requires 5 exceptions. They're using 8. Here's what they're hiding and why it matters.

In Vitale’s book, he writes: “The problem is not police training, police diversity, or police methods. The problem is the dramatic and unprecedented expansion and intensity of policing in the last 40 years, a fundamental shift in the role of police in society. The problem is policing itself.”

Couple of thought-provoking but worrying pieces in the FT today. First, does China want to buy anything from anyone? Not really, no different then to the US or many others. The lure of self-sufficiency. Most worrying, why is this thought a surprise? www.ft.com/content/f294...
China is making trade impossible
Europe has nothing to offer and difficult decisions to make

Also hilarious, for want of a better word, that British ‘patriots’ are amplifying & funding foreign actors who live in unsafe countries & have never been near Britain slagging off Britain. Good old Elon.
I see a lot of Paidchecks on X didn’t realize that a whole lot of people on social media lie about their location to grift off the naïveté of the rage-addled American right.
Turns out this problem is real and it’s a thing those of us who worked on “disinformation” pointed out.

another data point of a Dem MORE popular on trans issues than they are in the abstract. As with abortion, the theory of a socially conservative electorate before whom libs must cringe is simply not borne out in general.
5. The CNU poll shows Spanberger with a commanding +10 lead in the governor’s race. When asked which candidate would better handle transgender issues, voters sided with Spanberger over Earle-Sears by a 50–37 margin, giving Spanberger a whopping +13 advantage.

the singular failure of the Biden era was not jailing Trump and his high-level coup plotters for that crime while Biden controlled the federal government; this failure is manifest now in Trump having blanket permission to rule as a king from SCOTUS and the default loyalty of federal police. Hell!
