image Institutional trust has collapsed in American society. That's true among basically every generation and every major institution in the country. It's seems especially acute among Millennials as they've aged. Only the military has seen a noticeable increase in trust. Source: https://web.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=878394978103761

image On 5 January I will go on trial at Kingston Crown Court charged with an offence under Section12 of the Terrorism Act 2000. The maximum penalty if found guilty is 14 years in gaol. There are others due to follow me. You might be forgiven for thinking that my ‘offence’ was preparing a bomb intended for the Israeli Embassy. In fact, it was disagreeing with government policy and received opinion. I was arrested on 20 December 2023 by Counter-Terrorism Police in a dawn raid under the Terrorism Act 2000. My ‘crime’ was posting a tweet, one month previously, saying that I supported the Palestinian resistance against the Israeli Defence Forces. The anti-terrorism police are reminiscent of the Thought Police (Thinkpol) in George Orwell's 1984, who spent their time hunting down “thought crime.” Britain’s equivalent of seized my electronic devices – computers, laptop, mobile phone etc. When I applied to the courts to recover these items, the police justified their retention by saying that they provided a ‘highly relevant insight’ into my mind. The aim of Orwell’s Thought Police was to enforce mental conformity, ensuring citizens police their own minds. In his Expert Witness Statement in the Case for the Deproscription of Hamas, Jonathan Cook, a journalist who has worked on The Guardian, The Observer and The Times amongst other papers and a recipient of the Martha Gellhorn Special Prize for Journalism in 2011, wrote: Over the past several months, I have been watching with growing professional alarm – and personal trepidation – what I can only describe as a campaign of political intimidation and persecution of a number of journalists in the UK. The journalists who have been targeted share one thing in common: they report and comment on Israel’s actions in Gaza from a critical perspective that judges those actions to be genocidal... #Opinion by Tony Greenstein Source:

image Freedom and responsibility cannot be separated. When people try to strip liberty away “for safety” or “for fairness,” they also erode personal responsibility. And when responsibility is abandoned, liberty collapses. The two stand—or fall—together. This is the balance we must teach the rising generation. That’s exactly what the Tuttle Twins Family Starter Pack is designed to do: give parents the tools to explain why liberty and responsibility are inseparable. 👉 https://buff.ly/5oFHblR #TuttleTwins #RaiseThinkers #FamilyFreedom #PersonalResponsibility Source:

image RISCOS DE RESTRIÇÃO A Organização dos Estados Americanos (OEA) divulgou nesta sexta (26) o relatório final sobre a situação da liberdade de expressão no Brasil, com uma série de recomendações dirigidas principalmente ao Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF) e ao sistema de Justiça. O documento aponta riscos de restrição excessiva ao debate público e defende mudanças legais e institucionais para alinhar o país aos padrões do Sistema Interamericano de Direitos Humanos. O texto foi elaborado pela Relatoria Especial para a Liberdade de Expressão da Comissão Interamericana de Direitos Humanos (CIDH), após missão oficial ao Brasil em fevereiro, a convite do governo federal. À frente dos trabalhos, o relator Pedro Vaca ouviu representantes dos Três Poderes, além de atores políticos de diferentes espectros ideológicos.
