This is a repetition of the libel. It’s likely to lead to further legal action and bankruptcy.
The assertion was utterly destroyed by a Judge saying that Sivier only held any such belief because he didn’t do any work to ascertain if it was correct.

Not at all. I'm simply trying to get justice. Remember, the heart of this case is an attempt to defend a vulnerable girl from a very powerful adult.

Twitter dying would be a really big blow to the open source investigation community. It really enabled a lot of sharing of information and collaboration that led to real impact. Bellingcat wouldn't have been able to build an audience without it.

Corbyn in the Commons yesterday, apparently calling for Russia to retain some of Ukraine. ('Status quo' implies continued Donbas and Crimea occupations.) Which would be in line with previous statements from him.

And now, with the liberation of that one city, we know for sure; Russia will eventually lose. What an extraordinary achievement, retaking Kherson after 9 months, without a battle. I don't think we yet realise what a seismic event Russia's defeat in Ukraine will be. #SlavaUkraïni

It's coming fast and furious now.
From Kanye West to Marjorie Taylor Greene, Ilhan Omar to Dave Chappelle, antisemitism is being mainstreamed to an extent we haven't seen in recent memory.
Now is the time for non-Jewish allies to stand with the Jewish community.
We need you.

Those who say that Putin cannot be defeated, or that he should be offered a chunk of sovereign Ukraine as an off-ramp, or that he should be kept in power to avert the worst – these people are the only ones who can help him snatch victory from the jaws of defeat 8/9

Learned this morning that a company I work with bought a startup company simply to mothball the tech because it would put their brokers out of business if it became widely available.
$10m. To put something on a metaphorical shelf.

In 1713, a man who called himself “Tim Cockleshell” sent this piece of wood with a smiling face burnt into it to Sir Hans Sloane, claiming it was a portrait “of one of the ancient kings of Mexico.” Sloane did not include it in the collection of the British Museum.

So, about the whole free speech thing, does it mean banning mockery and ridicule ? But protecting racism, antisemitism, and outright fascism?

So basically, it is Islamophobic to be appalled by a Muslim calling for death to Jews.
So FSIS is saying that wanting Jews to die & calling for genocide is so inherent to Islam that being appalled by the death wish is an a-front to Islam?
Do they even hear themselves??

Takes two to join something; one to brutally annex a free country, butcher its people and keep it in servitude for generations. Takes something else entirely to be the kind of person that celebrates that process, and decent people have coined a number of words for those lowlives.
