Trump and his legal team continue to act unscrupulously (for example, lobbing wholly unsubstantiated charges of prosecutorial misconduct and frivolously reupping arguments already rejected by court). Meanwhile, Trump continues to benefit from New York State courts’ commitment to rule of law. 1/ #RuleOfLaw #LawFedi

Five years on, the #RuleOfLaw Report shows that EU countries are better prepared to detect, prevent and address emerging challenges.
The report examines developments and addresses recommendations in 4 key areas including justice systems and media freedom.
It also includes 4 enlargement country chapters 🇦🇱🇲🇪🇲🇰🇷🇸 for the first time.
A proactive approach to promote and defend the rule of law is at the heart of the EU's success.

More members of Just Stop Oil have been sent to prison.
Firstly, this (again) seems disproportionate, but secondly, the state is starting to assemble a group of climate martyrs whose voice is likely be amplified.
As Gaie Delap says: 'They didn’t listen to the scientists, they didn’t listen to their constituents, so we had to cause disruption in order to communicate the seriousness of humanity’s predicament'!

Democracy literally means rule of the common people. If your country is ruled by corporations and billionaires, then it is most certainly NOT a Democracy!

"Can you believe it has been over a year since the conservatives on the Supreme Court invented a very special immunity for a very special president?
It’s arguably the worst decision to come out of the Roberts Court, which is saying something. And it isn’t a reach to say that if there had been no immunity decision, there likely would be no Donald Trump second term."
