So yes: let us be thankful today; let us remember.
But please do remember these patterns too!
Democracy requires work every day. And it can be lost much, much more quickly than most of us think.
And make no mistake: the trajectory we are currently on is very much heading that way.

This shows that "doxxing" has become a meaningless, catch-all phrase for anything these guys do not like reported. @klong.bsky.social is an impressive reporter, who simply connected the anonymous postings of a self-declared racist to the public identity of someone directly altering government.

Private schools aren’t failing because of Labour’s VAT hike.
Right-wing papers are screaming about three schools going under this week. But when you dig deeper, the truth looks very different.

Great work; if you're even a bit curious about how Britain was defended in the SWW this is it, in detail. And Chris is your man.
But I have just started turning my attention to several War Diaries for units deployed to East Yorkshire on anti-invasion defence. In this case, the war diary of the 2/6th Battalion Lancashire Fusiliers, who were one of the first units deployed to defend Filey Bay in June 1940.

Make no mistake Braverman is delivering exactly what the Tory members demand. The good news is they are a pitifully small and unrepresentative group.
Which just goes to show how far right and racist the grassroots of the Tory Party has become after assimilating UKIP and Brexit into the collective at the last election

On this day in 1940, the Civic Centre’s art gallery was bombed during a daylight air raid on Southampton.
Thirty-five people were killed. A class of fifteen children had taken shelter in the basement; only one child survived the direct hit.
There is now a memorial inside the building.

I’ve been thinking about ceasefires. In my experience, 3 elements are normally needed. Readiness by both sides to stop fighting (on conditions). A broker to negotiate a deal. And int supervision to give confidence that both sides will respect the terms. Gaza conflict is not at this point yet 1/6

Do any charities actually help homeless people camp on the street? The ones round here don't.
