Anti-imperialist = anti-capitalist = abolitionist (prison, police, borders, arms & armies) - unashamed to be a communist. Opposed to bullies who use ownership, gender, race, or sexuality to dominate others. Shame & dispossess the perpetrators!

In theater. So they think they’re at war.
Q: Can you be specific about how many ICE and CBP agents are currently operating in the state?
HOMAN: 3,000. There's been some rotations. They've been in theater a long time. Day after day, can't eat in restaurants, people spin on you, blowing whistles at you. But my main focus now is draw down

The authoritarian words of UK Home Secretary Shabana Mahmoud, "my ultimate vision for the criminal justice system was to achieve, by means of AI and technology, what Jeremy Bentham tried to do with his panopticon. That is that the eyes of the state can be on you at all times."

Scotland has committed to introduce a tax on private jets. Private jets are the most polluting form of travel, used almost exclusively by the super‑rich, and currently pay less taxes than commercial flights (often no VAT or fuel duty at all). Starmer - big-asset-owners poodle - won't do the same
