America's descent into suppression of dissent ๐งต
I've been tracking Trump's actions since Jan and have included 93 actions that I consider to suppress dissent.
They fall into 4 domains and their use is quite different over time. 1/16

Noteworthy for the first time I've seen "quitting ECHR not enough".
The Right's opinion-industrial complex has ratcheted itself onto the full load-them-onto-cattle-trucks phase.

If a Muslim in the US publicly called for a missile strike on a famous celebrity activist onboard a civilian ship or plane, the FBI would be investigating them for terrorism.
But a rich white guy gets to incite violence without any consequences ๐คท๐ฝโโ๏ธ๐๐ฝ

Imagine if a referendum were held in which 52% of those who voted declared that the Earth was flat.
And that subsequently everyone in the UK was forced to behave as if the Earth was indeed flat, and all main parties said "Ok, flat it is. Evidence be damned."
That's Brexit.

As a Welsh rugby fan who watches Quins at the Stoop several times a year I'd suggest the comments mostly seem to be from people relying on a very old stereotype! It's certainly not the environment I see there!
At Twickenham itself the observations may be a little more justified though...

Absolutely everybody has had their eyes opened to the blatant racial bias in our Media by the response to the Liverpool attack, who was a dangerous terrorist until he was found to be white.
Then he become a Company Director, happily married and living in a cul-de-sac with 3 kids

Marx's prediction that wages would eventually gravitate towards subsistence levels used to be wildly mocked. But millions of British workers would be starving without food banks and in-work benefits.

๐จNEW: Greta Thunberg is sending HUNDREDS of lobbyists to Switzerland to influence world leaders at the Global Plastics Treaty negotiations this summer.
Oh wait, did we say Greta? We meant fossil fuel companies.

Nigel Farage seems confused about @greenparty.org.uk wealth tax.
Itโs a tax on assets over ยฃ10 million - not โvirtually everybody.โ
The fact he thinks that will bother everyone exposes just how out of touch this millionaire mouthpiece for billionaire fossil fuel donors really is.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia meme with Mac and Charlie wearing tuxedos sarcastically pretending to cry with the text "AWW DID SOMEONE GET ADDICTED TO SLAVE LABOR?" written across the bottom.
"But with universal basic income, people doing the work I don't want to do would gain the power to refuse to work unless they got paid more."

High early turnout as Romanians vote in critical election
Hard-right presidential front-runner George Simion warns of fraud risk, while voters wait in long lines to cast their ballots.
Polling in Romania shows today's presidential election is too close to call - and so the Romanian far-right candidate has started talking about fraud. We know this pattern: He'll drop it if he wins, double down if he loses

Keir Starmer went to Albania today as part of his ridiculous cosplaying as a Reform PM.
He took one media outlet with him.
GBNews.
He has lost all credibility and is in danger of completely losing his party. It is an embarrassing lack of leadership.
Mcsweeny and Co need to be gone.

Throughout his campaign, Trump benefited massively from people disregarding what he explicitly said and substituting their preferred policy outcomes.
Now he's actually doing stuff, and his spokespeople are encouraging you to ignore it in favour of an idealised alternative reality.

This gets papered over as old man yelling at clouds but this is impeachable by itself. Greenland is our ally which has allowed a continual U.S. military presence since WWII, including a vital part of our missile defense and space surveillance. Threatening them is unacceptable.
