Without ever being explicit or rude about it (quite the opposite), @anneapplebaum.bsky.social illustrates how Brexit has fortified Trump and his illiberal bedfellows and encouraged them to pursue the break-up of the EU. youtube.com/live/okxtIOB...

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon.

Love this easy soda bread. I add a couple of tbs of mixed seeds or walnuts and a scant teaspoon of sugar, and I reduce the treacle to a teaspoon as it can be a bit overpowering. I just make the buttermilk by adding a couple of tbs of lemon juice to semi-skimmed and I’ve never needed the full 600ml

The US is not a serious country anymore: terrorising its own citizens, creating enemies out of friends, elevating the most evil actors within and without. A country of 340 m people subject to the whims of a single narcissistic autocrat, cheered on by a negligent media. This shit has happened before

A New York Times video analysis of an ICE agent’s fatal shooting of a woman in Minneapolis contradicts the Trump administration’s account. Watch our investigation here.
Video: Videos Contradict Trump Administration Account of ICE Shooting in Minneapolis
An analysis of footage from three camera angles shows that the motorist was driving away from — not toward — a federal officer when he opened fire.
