Great read from Dan Rather:
"...The very existence of a free press is a threat to this president’s modus operandi, which is to govern by lying. Why would he want people around him who ask for facts and truthful answers?..."

I really can't recommend 'Who Goes Nazi?' by Dorothy Thompson highly enough. Published in 1941 & as relevant now as it was then.
President Trump defended Tucker Carlson on Sunday for his sympathetic interview with the white nationalist and racist antisemite Nick Fuentes, breaking a weekslong silence on an episode that had ignited bitter infighting among conservatives.

👏 Today marks 75 years since the creation of the ECHR.
We should celebrate the vision that Winston Churchill showed in recognising everyone’s human rights.
But there are now calls for the UK to leave ECHR.
As with Brexit, leaving would strip all of us of fundamental rights.

Leaving the ECHR won’t “Take Back Control” – it will hand your rights to politicians
The myths are seductive, the reality is very different – without the ECHR your freedoms rest on whichever Home Secretary wakes up grumpy

Seventy-five years ago, Britain helped write the European Convention on Human Rights. It protects fairness, liberty and the rule of law. Those attacking it now are not defending Britain. They are trying to free government from accountability. We must defend it.
