This is genuinely important and good news: as I expected, no British jury is going to convict #PalestineAction activists of non-violent protest.
Of course, this is why the UK government is trying to get rid of jury trials, but ...
Will the proscription of Palestine Action as a 'terrorist organisation'(!) also fall?

It's January 4th and I've already got a few orders this year for my little hobby business.
One from the UK, one from Ireland, and one from Switzerland.
Last year we shipped close to 80% of the orders to the US and almost 20% to the UK, with a few other countries besides those two.
I do feel like I'm seeing fewer US sales since the beginning of 2024, file that as you will.
Overall sales were down a bit in 2024 but I did a few larger projects for folks that …

Texas Democrats taste victory,
then turn on each other
Texas Democrats rejoiced Saturday after they flipped a state Senate seat
in a district that Donald Trump carried in 2024 by 17 percentage points,
hailing it as a burst of momentum for the midterms in the historically red state.
But they received a stark reminder of their own divides days later

Every dictator guilty of crimes against humanity¹ deserves to be arrested and sent directly to The Hague.
What makes the U.S.' arrest of #Maduro problematic is the potentially disproportionate military strike and the lack of an ICC warrant – the one that Argentina had demanded in 2024.² #Venezuela

'Emilie Schindler, die door velen werd bespot als bedrogen echtgenote, is een door de geschiedenis vergeten heldin die onverschrokken en moedig Joden redde. De documentaire haalt haar uit de schaduw van haar man.'
(Deepl vertaling)
Waar Iedereen Oskar Schindler kent van Schindler's List, bleef Emilie totaal op de achtergrond.

As Emily Waldorf languished in an Arkansas hospital,
she felt like “a ticking time bomb”.
It was 2024, and the physical therapist was in the midst of miscarrying a much-wanted pregnancy.
But because her fetus still had a heartbeat, hospital officials said Arkansas’s near-total abortion ban blocked them from taking steps to induce labor and end her pregnancy.
Instead, Waldorf had to wait and hope that she didn’t develop a deadly infection.
Waldorf’s sister, Eli…
