‘Human rights departments and programs were gutted of funding and staff. The state withdrew its support for trials for crimes committed during the dictatorship and, among other measures, obstructed the search for the children of the disappeared …’
Fabulous @elpais.com article in English on #Argentina #dictatorship and #memory ‘With the rise to power of the far-right populist Javier Milei, what seemed to be a deeply rooted social and institutional consensus was shattered …’

#Munich vote #Grüne Dominik #Krause as head of city council. Seats: #Greens ahead of CSU and SPD. Even Left ahead of radical far-right #AfD. It shows large constituency for pro-democracy, more tolerant centre ground. Greens need to push through policies to finally make Munich sustainability beacon
Another brilliant reason every sensible #football fan should want the #Boro to beat #Ipswich in the promotion race

The report notes that, ‘the area around the Old Botanical Gardens, the number of crimes has fallen by 66 per cent, from 1,284 to 436.’

New #crime stats out for #Munich: ‘The Munich Police Headquarters has released the police crime statistics for 2025. Compared with the previous year, the number of crimes in the state capital has fallen once again. Munich thus remains Germany’s safest major city.’

Amid the chaos and hatred, a simple call for tolerance. Sometimes it’s just good to hear, even though not enough people are listening
Here's the programme-by-programme dossier in which the @thenewworldmag.bsky.social reviewers tracked the breaches of broadcasting codes which Ofcom seems happy to ignore www.thenewworld.co.uk/the-gb-news-...
At PMQ'S Keir Starmer was forced to respond to the findings of a special investigation by The New World on Ofcom's failure to tackle repeated breaches of its broadcasting code by GB News.
@eddavey.libdems.org.uk presented the PM with the dossier’s findings

Good News von Watson: Deutschland profitiert von Erneuerbaren Dank ungewöhnlich viel Solarenergie im März sinken Stromkosten trotz steigender Gaspreise
Sonnen- und Windenergie machen Deutschland unabhängig von internationalen Krisen. Die Bundesregierung sollte sich schnellstens von Öl und Gas verabschieden und die #Energiewende konsequent vorantreiben. Robert Habeck hat es vorgemacht. 👍☀️💚
So much in this article, but here’s one other: ‘gas still sets the price to a greater extent than in almost any comparable country. In the UK, this happens 98% of the time, while the EU average is 39%’
‘the majority of what comes through the wire is supplied by renewables and nuclear power, electricity is sold on the wholesale market at the price (the “marginal cost”) of the power source of last resort, which fills the last remaining gaps in supply: fossil gas’

Yes, hit the bar too. Lots of pivotal 'what if' moments. I don't buy the "useless/weren't trying/offered nothing" arguments. Thirty plus shots. Camped in their box. And the previous two home games (and the earlier goalless run). There's not a lot wrong tactically. Just need to get the first goal.
This should be all over the Labour government’s PR output right now

Die CSU hat all ihre Wahlziele verfehlt, die Grünen stehen endgültig als Sieger der Kommunalwahl am Sonntag da. Sie werden zum zweiten Mal in Folge stärkste Kraft im Rathaus. Und bei der Stichwahl am 22. März bekommen wir auch noch einen grünen OB! 💪🌻💚

Reiters Rutschbahn in stets neue Ausreden: „Ich kann gar nicht sagen, ob und in welcher Höhe es eine Aufsichtsratsentschädigung gibt." Dass „eine Genehmigung des Stadtrats notwendig gewesen wäre, war mir nicht bewusst." Damit hat er jegliche Glaubwürdigkeit verspielt.

Reiter verliert und der große Profiteur ist Dominik #Krause. Ausgerechnet der mit gerade mal 35 mit Abstand jüngste Kandidat machte den staatstragenden, ernsthaftesten Wahlkampf. Seine Zustimmung bei dieser Wahl ist nicht hoch genug einzuschätzen. 💪🌻💚

treated image of Tony Blair, Larry Ellison, Donald Trump, Rupert Murdoch and Benjamin Netanyahu with the caption: "As Tony Blair criticises Starmer for not joining Trump’s war, read Carole Cadwalladr on Blair, Big Tech and the Israel connection"
As the right wing press praises Tony Blair for his "rebuke" of Keir Starmer for not supporting Donald Trump's war on Iran ("We should have backed America from the very beginning."), time to re-up @carolecadwalla.bsky.social's investigation into the Tony Blair Institute

FT: 4-0. A superb statement win. #Boro bossed it throughout & engineered some excellent goals, playing inventive attacking football with a swagger. Big blocks at the back too. Ayling ace. Hackney sublime. Great team display. #UTB
