A. lived in Germany since he was two months and last year gained German citizenship. Now he’s been stripped of it because of pro-Palestinian Instagram posts, in a disturbing legal case that points to the rise of citizenship-on-probation.

Joining the EU without a referendum (just an election) is not, regrettably, a good idea. The UK now uses referendums for big 'national destiny' questions. Anything less would not be sustainable and we'd probably need a 'confirmatory' referendum within a few years. www.arguably.uk/p/sadiq-khan...

The death toll from Russia’s strike on a Kyiv apartment building has risen to 12, including 2 children. Search-and-rescue operations are still ongoing in Kyiv’s Darnytskyi district after Russia destroyed part of a 9-story residential building during one of the largest air attacks of the war. 📹DSNS

245 major cultural figures have signed a letter in support of Misan Harriman after a disgraceful and dishonest smear campaign by the Telegraph. Thanks to the Guardian for covering the letter, and for linking to the open letter where you can add your own name.

New York Times confirms Israel using dogs to rape open.substack.com/pub/owenjone...

TONE DEAF & A SLAP IN THE FACE Most Americans can barely afford to fill up their gas tank right now, and somehow, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy thought this was the perfect time to launch a whole-ass reality show about taking his own family on a road trip across America.

The second rule of activism is that everyone will hate you while you’re alive but love you when you’re dead. These are the brave ones saving your children’s lives. So naturally, most bougie people hate their fvckin’ guts. ✊🏼

Defiant Dublin Rose Suad Mooge has hit back at the cruel online trolls who bombarded her with racist abuse following her historic win, declaring she will not let the “hate train” derail her dreams.

GB News contributor says he would be "worried" if the UK's Jewish population was growing, then insists "I don't think that's a strange thing to say". (HT @adambienkov.bsky.social) This is the kind of "debate" that GB News advertisers are associating with.

Unfortunately true.

This is a key point. There is a prime opportunity for greater EU-UK relations. And the UK gov is squandering it.

🧵 Analysis of the self-described rally against antisemitism, London* Lionising far right speakers, & failure to invite the only Jewish party leader, tells a story. The flags for the Iranian King in exile & laughter/booing of left wing figures, tells another. Fascism doesn’t protect minorities [1]
