Let’s be clear: if the Palestine Action hunger strikers die, the government will bear moral responsibility | George Monbiot
The three remaining hunger strikers have been convicted of nothing. Yet with astonishing cruelty, ministers refuse to listen to their reasonable demands, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

So, if I ask Grok to make a full-length explicit naked picture of Trump for my delectation, it does just what I ask ... but it won't let me see its creation. Pretty reassuring that it's so careful about my mental health, no?

Things are in a pretty bad state when Michael #Gove, mate of #Rupert, can issue a far more forceful remediation of #Trumps threat to sue/destroy the #BBC that #Starmer or #Nandy. This is probably the most loved institution in Britain we're talking about. We MUST defend it, even while it must change.

The #Telegraph, #Mail, #Express accusing the #BBC of institutional bias, shoddy standards and lack of balance and transparency? Takes one to know one.

We are waiting for Texas to file its response today explaining the discrepancy between what it told the court and what Gov. Abbott said publicly in justifying a special session about the use of race to draw the state's congressional map.
Once it is filed, Democracy Docket will it post here.

Go on. You know you want to. Not much on the Internet is as good as this.
The first season - ten episodes - of Podyssey is a gift from me to you. But given the intense time commitment involved, if you want a 20-episode Season 2, it is up to you to commission it by supporting it. You can do so from as little as a fiver. I love you all, anyway. A x

#Trump thinks he can simultaneously (a) create a historic settlement in the Middle East and (b) reshape European defence and East European borders. All in a few weeks and with a team of amateur diplomats, while destroying Washington's reservoir of profesisonal expertise. Good luck with all that.

So, a few short months ago we were all telling ourselves #Trump was senile, incoherent, has dementia. Now he has resurrected as the evil genius. What should I believe?

Magnificent ceremony from Notre Dame, with hugely moving ovation for the fire fighters, fabulous organ music and great speech from Macron, and many shots of Trump being bored. Found it on the #Guardian courtesy of #Eurovision. But why not on #BBC?

Just arrived. It's great, but my feed is full of Americans and - to be honest - I've had enough of US politics recently to keep me going for a while yet. Not got anything against you, naturally, but are there any Brits here? Or cricket fans, anywhere in the world (including Americans, obvs)?
