Nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from the Broadview ICE Detention Center has been "irretrievably destroyed" and cannot be produced as evidence in a lawsuit against the government over abhorrent conditions there:

The reaction to the Panorama edit has been nothing short of hysterical. Yes the BBC has some impartiality problems. But its biggest isn't the one you think.

New piece from me.

if you’re wondering what TV & radio would look like without the bbc if the right had its way, picture the state of our privatised rivers & seas, but instead it’s raw sewage pumped into your telly & speakers

#EU funds are financing #spyware companies. That's a betrayal of our own rules & fundamental rights. The EU can’t do both: defending citizens rights & subsidising their surveillance.

Tommy Robinson has just been deported from both Colombia and Panama. Still, I'm sure he understands why a country would want to secure its borders against fighting age foreign criminals.

You’ll be shocked to learn that all the people Nick Robinson mentions here as involved in UK “free speech controversies” are on or adjacent to the far right- Connelly, Linehan, T Robinson, Musk- as are most of the politicians cited, and that he ends with a plea to listen to both sides
How the simmering freedom of speech row reached boiling point
How did we reach a point where the UK is being compared to a 'tin pot Third World dictatorship'?

1. Trump and his allies have concocted a series of lies about the horrific murder of a 23-year-old woman in Charlotte in a transparent effort to secure an advantage in a critical North Carolina race that could swing control of the U.S. Senate.

It's nasty stuff.

Follow this thread for details.
A tragic murder, a baseless smear, and the fight for the U.S. Senate
A high-stakes race for an open U.S. Senate seat in North Carolina has gotten nasty very quickly.

Elon Musk openly called for violence on our streets yesterday.

I hope politicians from all parties come together to condemn his deeply dangerous and irresponsible rhetoric.

Britain must stand united against this clear attempt to undermine our democracy.

Lucy Connolly was convicted of inciting racial hatred, and her tweet was part of the tinder that lit violence, intimidation, looting, and thuggery across England last year.

The fact Reform conference gave her a standing ovation says everything about that movement.

Douglas Carswell has skirted the line and now he's crossed it.

This is disgusting racism from a former MP who now demonstrates who and what he is.

TIL that we wouldn't have tequila if it wasn't for bats pollinating the agave flowers, at night. It turns out that ecosystems are very busy in the dark, up to all sorts of things.

Next week's Rare Earth is all about noctural ecology - what is it, why does it matter & how is it affected by us?
