An updated list of those who have withdrawn from #AdelaideWritersWeek. You can add Kathy Lette to this list now. The festival had engaged 124 writers. Around 100 have withdrawn. Bob Carr says he’ll turn up. He’s going to be very lonely.

The Board need to stand down now.

Dear @JDVance: As a congressional democrat, I will answer your question.

The reason investigations are conducted before reflexively making a judgement is because no one knows all the facts in the immediate aftermath of a tragedy. You unfortunately have already concluded, without all the evidence, that the victim was a deranged leftist trying to run the officer over, and that the officer was defending himself.

New evidence, however, suggests the victim was a U.S. citizen, a mother of three, a Christian and had recently dropped her child off at school.

Additional video footage also suggests the second and third shots fired by the officer occurred when the officer was to the side of the vehicle as the car was driving away. Under the law each firing of the gun is analyzed separately.

Witness testimony also suggests one of the ICE agents told the driver to MOVE, MOVE, MOVE. The driver may have been trying to comply with potentially conflicting instructions from different agents. Slow motion video from various angles also shows the vehicle appears to have been turning when the officer fired the first shot, and certainly that was the case by the second and third shots.

Your reflexive never admit wrong approach is not only based on zero investigations, it also leads to increased risks to federal officers. The American people will get increasingly agitated and angry if they believe the Trump Administration will never hold anyone accountable ever.

If you want to bring down the temperature, if you want to reduce the risks of violence against federal officers, then you need the American people to believe that you and the Administration will make decisions based on facts and will comply with the rule of law.

It is also highly suspicious that the Administration is refusing to cooperate with local and state officials as they conduct their investigations. There is no reason to make the American people think there is some sort of coverup. Allow all the investigations to be conducted fairly and with transparency.

So I respectfully request that you and the Administration stop pre-judging this case, and stop making incendiary or smear the victim comments that appear to be contradicted by additional new evidence. I also request that the federal officials cooperate with all the state and local officials. That is the American way, and will help calm the situation down.

Labour in Wales will decide how a £547 million growth fund is to be distributed – while the UK Government will decide how Scotland's £140m allocated is to be be spent, in what is being branded 'blatant political bias' https://t.co/OKjXJfv4yr

The carnage we are seeing on the streets of the U.S. is exactly the kind of social order a certain “British” political party wants to bring to the U.K.

Division is their currency.

We must reject them fully.

BREAKING 🚨🚨 Kash Patel just announced the FBI will take sole control over the investigation of the murder of Renee Nicole Goodman by an ICE officer, and not involve the state of Minnesota. This is an unusual practice. Both the Charlie Kirk murder and attempted assassination in Butler, PA were the FBI and state working together. This so called “transparent” administration is going to lie and coverup the facts, just like they are doing with the Epstein files. 😡

[Amnesty UK @AmnestyUK]

We urge David Lammy to immediately authorise a senior official to meet with the legal representatives of Heba Muraisi and Kamran Ahmed - both on prolonged hunger strike and at extreme risk of death.

Their representatives have repeatedly requested this meeting and it is now critical to prevent a tragedy.

Amnesty International has long opposed the misuse of terrorism powers that has led to lengthy, oppressive, and disproportionate detention conditions, contributing directly to this crisis.

Action is needed now to:
✅ Guarantee communication with legal representatives
✅ Ensure proper family contact
✅ Provide urgent and appropriate medical care

This situation is drastic and urgent.
