This morning's police raids targeted 106 suspects but the focus, of course, is on the man who is Turkey's most recognisable politician after Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
Where now for Ekrem İmamoğlu, President Erdoğan and Turkey?
A thread after a tumultuous 24 hours.

Thank you so much Mary + everyone who’s subscribed to my newsletter.
All my work has been published - without a paywall - on Guardian for 20 years. That’s coming to an end in March for me + all my colleagues so am thinking creatively about how best to carry on that work in the future. With thanks 🙏

I’m trying to sort out which publications & voices I should be subscribing to. IMHO Carole Cadwalladr should be at the top of the list. 7 plus years ago Cadwalladr did the work that exposed the soft belly of corruption and fascism in our democracies. We weren’t listening. We need to listen now

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic.

Word of day is ‘unasinous’ (17th century): united in stupidity.
A riff on ‘unanimous’: which comes from the Latin for ‘one mind’. ‘Unasinous’ means ‘one ass’.

Spending time online can leave you with a warped view of the world and that's a shame. Good people have always outnumbered bad people and things generally get better. Hold onto that x
