Our place in Europe: what happened in February?
Brexit continues to bite, and the public mood is beginning to shift. Can the UK navigate the tsunami of world affairs from outside the EU?

โGabbard on Tuesday wrote to Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Oregon) and Rep.

โI share your grave concern about the serious implications of the United Kingdom, or any foreign country, requiring Apple or any company to create a โbackdoorโ that would allow access to Americansโ personal encrypted data,โ she wrote. โThis would be a clear and egregious violation of Americansโ privacy and civil liberties, and open up a serious vulnerability for cyber exploitation by adversarial actors.โโ
US officials knew about, and did not oppose, that secret UK order that tried to force Apple to weaken iCloud encryption, and now DNI Tulsi Gabbard says the UK order would violate Americansโ rights, @joemenn.bsky.social reports

#TrumpLite Dutton is relying on a similar cohort of 'low information' or disengaged voters for the coming Australian election.
And with a complicit or lazy corporate media smoothing his path, he will continue to get away with lies, racist dogwhistling, and an absence of policy. #auspol

The embrace and protection of Andrew Tate at the highest level of US government tells you everything you need to know about this rotten administration. They worship at the altar of abusing women and girls. Their version of morality supports sex trafficking under the guise of camming

Andrew Tate being allowed to come to the U.S. and avoid facing trial for sex trafficking in Romania is beyond stomach-churning. This man is a HUGE influencer and uses his platform/following to further abuse women who have accused him. Now he wonโt face justice, reaffirming his lies to his followers
