The Pope on jailed journalists, at his first press conference:
"The suffering of these imprisoned journalists challenges the conscience of nations and the international community, calling on all of us to safeguard the precious gift of free speech and of the press"

I’m in.

A table of books at Waterstones, including Why Politicians Lie About Trade by Dmitry Grozoubinski in the foreground.

Someone sent me this photo of my book at @waterstones.bsky.social and I am:

a) Losing my mind;

b) Never going to be able to convince my friends and family I didn't sneak it in there myself.

What a spectacular take

Thank you for reminding me why I had to stop listening to you

Get yourself a senator willing to rescue you in a foreign country after your messy president wrongfully deports you…

Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

They don’t do it because it’s not about crime or justice or even following the law.

It is about terrorizing brown immigrants.

It is about keeping America as white as possible. They’ve admitted it.

Prayers please. Having my second AFib attack. If you haven’t got long Covid yet do what you can to avoid it.

THANK YOU

This is why Vance, Musk & the rest of them talk about our ‘free speech’ being under threat while they fast track actual fascism in the USA. It’s a long con & their accomplices are far-right blue ticks with the brains of blancmange.

It was extraordinary. There is, for example, no earthly reason why a little-known radio presenter on a commercial station should have become a national rallying point for Brexit reality simply by telling the obvious truth. (He did have to step down from occasionally presenting Newsnight, though.)
😉

It's funny how the stupidest people of this year - the "Don't worry about what Trump says, he doesn't mean it" brigade - were also the stupidest people of all the Brexit/Truss/Johnson years.
It's not funny how they still occupy almost all of the major roles in the commentariat.

Trump Administration Fires U.S. Aid Workers in Quake Zone in Myanmar The move comes despite Secretary of State Marco Rubio saying the U.S. would still do some humanitarian work while shrinking foreign aid. Democratic lawmakers have denounced the cuts.

Trump administration officials have fired workers for the main American aid agency who were sent to Myanmar to assess how the U.S. could help with earthquake relief efforts, people with knowledge of the actions said.

Figures.

Case 1:25-cv-00917 Document 1 Filed 03/28/25 Page 7 of 63 INTRODUCTION 1. "[The right to counsel is the foundation for our adversary system," Martinez v. Ryan, 566 U.S. 1, 12 (2012), and the "courage" of attorneys who take on unpopular clients has long "made lawyerdom proud," Sacher v. United States, 343 U.S. 1, 4 (1952). John Adams famously embodied these principles by defending eight British soldiers in the "Boston Massacre" trial, an effort he described as "one of the best pieces of service I ever rendered my country."! And British monarchs' practice of punishing attorneys "whose greatest crime was to dare to defend unpopular causes"-which threatened to reduce lawyers to "parrots of the views of whatever group wields governmental power at the moment"-helped inspire the Bill of Rights. Cohen v. Hurley, 366 U.S. 117, 138-40 (1961) (Black, J., dissenting). It is thus a core principle of our legal system that "one should not be penalized for merely defending or prosecuting a lawsuit." F. D. Rich Co. v. United States ex rel. Indus. Lumber Co., 417 U.S. 116, 129 (1974). In an unprecedented assault on that bedrock principle, the President has issued multiple executive orders in recent weeks targeting law firms and their employees as an undisguised form of retaliation for representing clients and causes he disfavors or employing lawyers he dislikes? These "personal vendetta[s]" are so facially improper that the first court to address the merits of one of these orders concluded that it likely violates multiple foundational ' David McCullough, John Adams 68 (2001). 2 See Addressing Risks from Jenner & Block, The White House (Mar. 25, 2025) (*Jenner Order"), https://tinyurl.com/u7ts9x49; Addressing Risks from Paul Weiss, The White House (Mar. 14, 2025) ("Paul Weiss Order"), https://tinyurl.com/5w4j69fv; Addressing Risks from Perkins Coie LLP, The White House (Mar. 6, 2025) ("Perkins Order"), https://tinyurl.com/547rwhna; Suspension of Security Clearances and Evaluation of G…

It never ceases to amaze me just how much of our media & politicians waltz away unscathed after being so catastrophically & hideously wrong about all the major moments of our time.
