Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

This is how Farage and Tice reacted at PMQs when someone raised the issue of one of their politicians accepting bribes to spread Russian propaganda. Apparently it’s funny to be a traitor.

I spent the day hearing Black women talk about the impact on women of colour and their children during last year’s race riots and civil unrest. This is only ‘divisive’ to the far right. Then how women are erased from history. Very provocative.
