"Within minutes of writing about why it might be time for people to think about leaving Twitter/X, the swarm attacked. I was a commie mouthpiece from a country which was “in the pisser.” An anonymous user (they mostly are) told me I was “screaming like a feminist at a free-tampons rally” with a “micro-penis anxiety.”Oh well, here goes again... Here's why it matters. You may well disagree with the argument, but there is an argument to be had - ideally a reasoned one. Prove me wrong about twitter/x, not right. https://t.co/rdoEBOX5HC

Remember this, men set up the whole system, they make all the rules, then they blame women when they can't survive in the system they set up. It's women's fault that they cannot survive even in a place that serves their benefit. Zero accountability

I fear I may now be guilty of ハラハラ: the act of adding ハラ to the endings of so many words that it ceases to mean anything anymore.

BREAKING: The High Court rules Rishi Sunak's climate plan is unlawful, in major victory for green groups.

The campaigners argued that Grant Shapps signed off the government's climate plan to reach Net Zero without any evidence it could actually be achieved.

Alexey, we will never forget you. And we will never forgive them.

..and there might be a lesson for Keir Starmer in it as well. As playing nice is not the right mindset once political culture and the foundations of liberal democracy have been destroyed.

[Annette Dittert  @annettedittert]

How to restore a broken democracy after it has been vandalised by populists ? And is it legal to break the law to restore the spirit of the constitution?

Spoiler: Sometimes there is no other way. Here’s my analysis on why Tusk is doing the right thing.👇

I learnt so much from this fascinating article on the conundrum of how to restore liberal democracy in Poland. You have to break the law in order to restore the law. There are analogies with Britain. An essential read;

This STORYVILLE won an Oscar, and it shows ALEXEI NAVALNY exposing an earlier plot to kill him. Be sure to watch it:

I think I have figured out why the government is suddenly making noises about permanent residents losing their status if they don't pay their taxes etc.
And it's not because they are trying to distract from the recent scandals.
This article clarifies.

[The Secret Barrister 🦋 @BarristerSecret]

As the issue of compensation for miscarriages of justice is rightly in the news, it’s timely to note that in 2014, the government changed the law to make it all but impossible for people wrongly convicted and imprisoned to claim compensation.
