Nottingham Council is erroneously sending out Council Tax notices to students. Is this a systematic glitch? Or a scam? Impossible to get through to the council on the phone or website. @nottslive @nottspolice

Today I will be sharing the full details of my arrest by Essex Police. They have now settled out of court after I made a claim against them for false imprisonment and battery. Strap in, because the abuse of power by police will knock your socks off. .. 🧵>

If you speak out about the #Police, they will come for you. They came for me on Friday. They have silenced me, criminalised me, falsely imprisoned me, and I’m still shaking. I’m tweeting this for my safety. Im terrified.

As #France's politics remains in crisis, its media landscape is shifting to the right, dominated by “the French Murdoch” aka. Vincent Bolloré. Index’s @martinbright examines the worrying “Bollorisation” of French media: https://t.co/RV30T23wnl

How a billionaire mogul pushed France's media to the right. “Bollorisation” - a French mouthful. But learn about it before it’s too late. ⁦@IndexCensorship

Absolutely horrifying to see this attempt to shut down an event at LSE about 7th October sexual violence. I can only imagine how Jewish colleagues and students must feel about the unhinged levels of antisemitism we are seeing on campus. https://t.co/dlu9qHmG9a

The journalists who cover the Pentagon had to choose today between signing a pledge that would make it impossible to do independent journalism and turning in their Pentagon press badges. Almost all of them turned in their badges and left the building.

Today the Pentagon Press Corps handed over our badges and walked out in unison in defense of the First Amendment. It’s an unprecedented attack on the public’s right to know and the end of one of the most professional press relationships in DC.

My last three @RoyalMail parcels have either not arrived or been late. Am I just unlucky or is this a pattern?

Another week & another example of someone being cancelled in the UK simply because they’re Israeli and/or Jewish. In this case queer DJ Roi Perez. Left for the justification & right for a post of Perez’s calling for the very thing we’re lacking today - empathy. This has to stop.

Watching these Hollywood stars pumping their money into UK football clubs - I wonder if their money would be better spent funding free expression organisations and educating the next generation of journalists. @IndexCensorship @Uni_of_Essex

If @POTUS brokers deal that secures Israel and creates a viable Pal state: 🔺 53% of independents increase support 🔺 As would 1 in 3 Democrats (!) Message is clear: majorities want regional deal. @POTUS can lead, join int. partners, end the war, and change MENA reality END/

Norse symbols and references to Valhalla repeatedly show up the manifestos of far right terrorists. An expert explains why.

Heartbreaking words of former political prisoner Larysa Shchyrakova, who served her entire sentence while her mother passed away & today Larysa was forcibly deported from #Belarus. This is the essence of Lukashenko's inhumane regime. There are thousands of such stories in Belarus

We welcome news that Mikola Dziadok and Larysa Shchyrakova were released from prison in #Belarus yesterday. Dziadok was featured in our Letters from Lukashenka's Prisoners campaign and Shchyrakova wrote for our magazine. They should never have been arrested in the first place.
