Right to protest for some. Not for others.

Must depend on who your pals are in high places.
If this were Just Stop Oil, there'd have been dozens of arrests, furious denunciations in the billionaire press and, perhaps, long jail sentences. Farmers have a right to protest, and the police respect it. Other people, it seems, not so much.

News from pals in the US is so concerning.

My friend's church has employed security guards to keep Latino parishioners safe at Mass. They're hatching plans to hide migrant families in a network of homes.

This is the impact of rampant fascism in action.

The devastation for people is awful. 😔
