EXCLUSIVE: @openDemocracy has been leaked documents from the Bolsonaro regime showing their strategy to destroy the Amazon Rainforest: opendemocracy.net/en/democraciaa…
The slides, uncovered by our Latin American section @demoAbierta, show that Bolsonaro’s hate speech against indigenous Amazonian is a key part of their strategy to burn down the Amazon. #FightForTheAmazon
I took a photo of our puppy to help you cope with the horrifying news. But even he looks sad.
“a strong government presence in the Amazon region is important to prevent any conservation projects from taking roots” leaked documents show the link between fascism and Amazon fires in Brazil: opendemocracy.net/en/democraciaa…
Never forget that the fascist who is destroying the world’s most important ecosystem and slaughtering those who live there was endorsed by the Wall Street Journal. Their reputation is ash. google.co.uk/amp/s/www.wsj.…
These fires are not natural. They are part of a government strategy to destroy the Amazon - and we’ve been leaked the slides which prove it: opendemocracy.net/en/democraciaa…
I picked up a few new followers on the back of this. Hello! Expect more investigations, politics and puppy pics.
Proposed style guide for journalist colleagues: the Amazon is not “burning”. It’s “being burned”. Bolsonaro is not a “populist”. He is a “fascist”. These are not “wild fires”. They are “corporate fires”. This is not a “natural disaster”. It’s the start of a “genocide”. Thoughts?

- @WingsScotland has written about me, making a few allegations. The first is that I am a bit posh. This is true. The second is that, when I reported on screeds of abuse received by the Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre, I didn’t publish the file of abuse [1/6] opendemocracy.net/en/5050/trans-…
This is also true. It should be obvious why I wouldn’t put lots of vile, violent and defamatory material about a rape counsellor onto the internet. It is perhaps also obvious why I won’t be sharing it with someone liable to do so. [2/6]
To believe this material was invented, you have to believe that numerous staff at ERCC, me and a number of @openDemocracy editors conspired to invent this story. We did not. [3/6]

To understand today’s ruling from Scotland’s highest civil court that trans women [with a GRC] are women, we have to wind back a little bit, to when the @Women5050 campaign launched, aiming to ensure that half of the people who represent us are women…
They did a lot of great work, including putting pressure on every party at Holyrood to ensure it did a better job of getting women elected. Partly because of their work, 2021 saw a record number of women elected to the Scottish parliament: bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotla…
One thing they pointed out is that we aren’t just represented by those we elect. As well as 129 MSPs, Scotland also has 129 public bodies, each of which is accountable to a board of directors. You can see a full list of these here: gov.scot/publications/n…

Desmond Tutu was perhaps the great moral leader of his era. He refused to share a stage with Blair, calling him a war criminal. He called Israeli apartheid what it is. He said he’d rather go to hell than worship a homophobic God. Global celebrity never bent his morality.
I was lucky enough to meet him once, and ask him if the honourary degree he was getting from @EdinUniMedia was a ‘Desmond’. He had the good grace to laugh like the joke was hilarious.
“Those who continue to do business with Israel, who contribute to a sense of 'normalcy' in Israeli society, are doing the people of Israel and Palestine a disservice. They are contributing to the perpetuation of a profoundly unjust status quo” - Desmond Tutu, supporting BDS.

Much of the debate on the left has been about how Labour lost. But it’s just as important to understand how Johnson won. This is how: opendemocracy.net/en/opendemocra…
Thank you for all the nice feedback about this piece. It’s my last piece of work this year, and it’s a summary of much of what I’ve been working on this year. But, if you’ll indulge me for a moment, as it’s Christmas, I’d like to say something else about it all...
For most of this year, while I was doing these things, I was desperately depressed. While I was undercover in Italy and Spain, as recounted here, I was utterly, sometimes tearfully, miserable. I was endlessly distracted from my work by the dark shadows of my mind.

This has been a pretty amazing election for @openDemocracy, and I’ve been really proud of all my colleagues & our contributors. Here’s a quick thread of some of the highlights. Enjoy!
We (@PeterKGeoghegan & @SAThevoz) revealed how disaster capitalist Russian oligarchs have stepped up their funding of the Tories: opendemocracy.net/en/dark-money-…
Our economics editor @L__Macfarlane tore shreds out of many of the stats and supposedly “impartial” analysis going round: opendemocracy.net/en/oureconomy/…

EXCLUSIVE: The Metropolitan Police have passed a file of criminal evidence against @BorisJohnson and Dominic Cummings' Vote Leave campaign to the Crown Prosecution Service: opendemocracy.net/en/dark-money-…
@BorisJohnson For us, this story began more than two years ago, when we got a tranche of Electoral Commission internal emails which revealed they had thought the Vote Leave/Darren Grimes relationship probably broke the rules. But they'd decided not to investigate: opendemocracy.net/en/dark-money-…
@BorisJohnson This came on the back of stories by @carolecadwalla and @jimwaterson who had revealed the extraordinary donation from Vote Leave to Grimes's wee outfit in the first place.
