International Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine, Full Enquiry - ohchr.org/sites/default/… It concludes that Russia’s deliberate attacks on civilian energy infrastructure constitute war crimes, and the systematic suffering inflicted on civilians amounts to crimes against humanity.

A former beauty pageant contestant who has said she rebuffed a sexual advance from Trump in 1993 now says Trump raped her during the encounter, according to the report from the House Democrats who will take the lead on any potential impeachment of Trump next year.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

Starting now!

This interview has almost 1 million views in four days and has generated a big new wave of interest in "The Nerd Reich." Here's how I explained tech fascism to DW News (German public media) on a windy beach near the Golden Gate Bridge. 🌉 www.youtube.com/watch?v=2176...

As a semi privileged white dude I 100% agree with Adam.

The size of the 'blue wave' isn't just about how far Dems get in the. U.S. House. There are hundreds of local offices that could flip if Dems have a great night—attorneys general, county governments, utility commissions, school boards. Lots to peruse on my guide to 670 items to watch on Nov. 3!

I wonder when the 'experts'out there will figure out that the UK Ministry of Defence's (& therefore also NATO's) new Skynet 6A secure comms satellite (due to be launched by Musk/SpaceX in 2027) is likely to suffer the same problems of being compromised👇 www.polarisintelligence.co/forecasts/la...

I've been a member of the lobby for well over a decade. Not a single one of my lobby colleagues has said a word about the Conservatives banning me from their conferences, without any explanation. Contrast with the US where even Fox News stood in solidarity when Trump banned news outlets he disliked

This is what happens when you govern by not only looking at what "people" are saying on X/Twitter.

You've switched off replies hence the quote. To be fair she was seriously mentally ill so perhaps needed more help than she could ever receive. Signed A dad of two autistic kids one non verbal with SLD.

This is literally a plot point in “It Can’t Happen Here” by Sinclair Lewis. Written in 1935, it predicts the rise of a fascist populist who promises each family $5,000 per year if he’s elected.

Around the world, the Trump regime is viewed as government of, by and for pedophiles. And this is a Tory MP, btw.

Flaggy moron Ryan Bridge is out harassing people in public again. Performativley taking offence at being called racist. "Why am i racist then? Go on, tell me." He's racist because he fact-free assumes "migrants" in boats are of a greater threat to women than Brits, calls legit refugees "illegals".

Officially, the water industry in England is regulated. Practically, it's unregulated. There's no difference between what it does under the eye of the Environment Agency and what it would do if the EA did not exist. The EA is completely useless, by design. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

This is not misinformation. That's what I normally cover - something out of context, an opinion quoted as fact, or a deliberate misinterpretation... This is none of those. This is full-on disinformation. Because that is NOT from the Express. It is entirely fake😱 🧵 1/10
