The 31-month sentence for Lucy Connolly for a tweet has been the subject of fierce media coverage.
Here I set out a balanced explanation of this sentence and how, had she not followed good legal advice, the sentence could have been even heavier.

A lot of people have questions about mRNA vaccines because the technology seems new and unfamiliar and they are subject to a lot of mis- and disinformation with growing hostility from some that could threaten research and access to these 🧵 🧪 #ImmunoSky

The funny thing about the British press, with some rare exceptions, is that they pride themselves on being feral truth seekers, though most are ready to capitulate to power, money and authority, at the drop of an acquiescent hat. Privets posing as Pirates

"DEI" is not a bad word. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are fundamentally American – a reflection of who we actually are.
After centuries of erasure, we've seen progress in representation in recent years, and I don’t want to go back.

Opinion from the FT's Editorial Board: 'The US and European countries that tout Israel as an ally that shares their values have issued barely a word of condemnation. They should be ashamed of their silence, and stop enabling Netanyahu to act with impunity.' www.ft.com/content/f5fd...

Heh. I suspect that was the film for which I wrote the screenplay. There was a whole film, I can assure you (although it might have been better for all concerned if there hadn't been).

As of Friday, there have been 46 cases in which federal judges have blocked Trump policies.
The rulings in those cases have come from 39 different judges appointed by 5 different presidents (of both parties) to 11 different district courts across 7 different circuits.
Maybe it's not the judges?

Not only is this crass, it is highly significant.
Radosław Sikorski is perhaps the most Atlanticist major politician in Europe.
And this is how he is now being publicly treated by US/Musk.
They do not want us to be their friends, they do not want us to be their allies.

Can we also keep in mind that while Zelenskyy like Churchill 1940-45 postponed elections, Trump in peacetime tried to overturn by violence an election he lost - and has since pardoned all the co-conspirators in his attempted coup?
