Don’t know the whole story ofc, but seems a weird decision by CH police. I hope UA embassy intervenes.

Who’s going to arrest them? Would they have a gunfight in the street?

Here it is! 💥💥💥
The start of the Tory-Reform election pact. Arch-Brexiter Rees-Mogg is telling Tories in the Caerphilly by-election to vote RefUK. With Plaid Cymru leading in the progressive camp, the other anti-fascist parties have to get behind Plaid!

Just finished it. Ver good. Congratulations.

A INnpttM Indiana University fires IDS adviser amid push to control student newspaper's content

The director of student media at Indiana University was fired amidst a dispute between university leadership and editors at the Indiana Daily Student over what content gets printed in the student newspaper. As director of student media, Jim Rodenbush did not directly oversee or have any say over the content published in the IDS, per a charter between the IDS and the university. But he told IndyStar his firing follows a series of meetings with IU Media School leadership in which it grew increasingly apparent they were expecting him to officially prohibit students from publishing news.

Indiana University has fired the staff director of the student newspaper, after disputes in which university leadership tried to pressure him to prevent students from publishing news.

B1 & B2 are from a Council of Europe scheme unfamiliar in UK afaik. I think the Indy’s ref to A level is by way of illustration.

Not my business, but has this US government suborned every police force in the country?

Why did the marked police car just drive away?

Netanyahu has committed genocide. So no, we don’t all love him.

And local cops playing lookout?

Ah, you too.

This is not Switzerland, not Canada - this is Ukraine, where every season paints the mountains anew.

Autumn ignites the Ukrainian Carpathians. Golden ridges, fiery-red forests, and misty valleys reveal a beauty unlike anywhere else.

I just remember it. In St Enoch Sq was a tearoom (Peacock’s?) with one of those systems that carried bills & cash in canisters on overhead wires.

Mach ich morgen.

Which one did you get? I get mine on Thursday. All agog now…

Surely we need more not fewer anthropologists if we're going to have a proper culture war? And if it is to be a performative one about social integration into English language and culture, then the other disciplines she mentions will have their uses in the future she envisages, too.

It’s quite an accusation: it damns not only students for being foolish about the courses they choose, but also universities for being fraudulent in the courses they deliver.

I have used a fennel bulb in place of the onion, but without rice is wild.

Interesting: Leaving the #ECHR would be a grave mistake, writes former UK Lord Chancellor and Justice Secretary Sir Robert Buckland KC👇

Premature, I think. For let's say the right does win, leaving the ECHR will then lead to rerunning Brexit chaos potentially even amplified several times over. First with regard to Northern Ireland and Scotland, second with the EU potentially suspending tariff free trade. Does that matter...?

Police “not allowed to make verbal contact with the feds and had to stay about a block away”. Are these Portland city police department orders?

@govpritzker.illinois.gov why are state police assisting ICE???!!!

And “That’s rare!” as a (fairly) general expression of approval.

this is wild: while Stephen Miller's guy was in Minnesota for his uncle's funeral, somebody was able to see his entire phone and take pictures of his Signal group chats talking about military deployments to Portland, and brought them to the Strib (gift link: www.startribune.com/trump-offici...)
