Reporters: stop using the deferential term "detaining" when talking about ICE goons' abduction of innocent people from US streets. You proper term would indeed by "abduction", but if you want to pretend neutrality you could use "capture", which at least says nothing about the captors' motives.

In March of 1945, the US Army issued this "fact sheet" to guide conversations with soldiers on the topic of fascism, paying particular attention to the ongoing threat that domestic fascist movements posed to the US. Their analysis of what a homegrown US fascism would look like is interesting.

CRESTRICTED]
ORIENTATION
FACT SHEET
64
WAR DEPARTMENT-WASHINGTON 25, D. C. • 24 March 1945 FASCISM!
Note For This Week's Discussion:
Fascism is not the easiest thing to identify and analyze; nor, once in power, is it easy to destroy. It is important for our future and that of the world that as many of us as possible understand the causes and practices of fascism, in order to combat it. Points to stress are: (1) Fascism is more apt to come to power at a time of economic crisis;
(2) fascism inevitably leads to war; (3) it can come to any country; (4) we can best combat it by making our democracy work.

My cartoon for this week’s @newscientist.com

A comic strip in six panels. The panels inerlock like a jigsaw with knobs and sockets. Two stick figures walk right to left through all the panels.

Panel 1: Person 1 says "I hear you're working on a new theory."
Panel 2 & 3: Person 2 says: "Yes, I'm calling it the jigsaw model. I think it could change our whole View of reality."
Panel 4: Person 1 says "When Will you publish?:
Panel 5: Person 2 says "But a couple of things are still bothering me." (this piece/panel is a bit squint)
Panel 6: This piece is rotated ninety degees and fits to the others very badly. Person 2 is saying "Soon. I feel like I'm really close"
A second look at the whole comic shows that the last two panels read in the wrong order because the jigsaw has been put together incorrectly.

Yesterday, I called on the Transport Committee to study Canada’s capacity for safe ship recycling. Without a plan, aging vessels threaten our coasts—but with strategic port investment, we can turn this challenge into good union jobs.

Time to drop some f bombs and talk about the face of gangster fascism.
Gone are the grey uniforms and goose-steps in are the baseball caps and botox.
But the fascist playbook is redefining politics. We need to call it out.
This is my latest.

We see ordinary people on marches calling for global uprisings against different groups because of their religion. And when we think of the consequences of living in this febrile atmosphere as we really must, then we end up asking ourselves: Is this how it happens?

For the benefit of the cops and the Telegraph, "Intifada 87" is clearly a reference to the First Intifada, where Palestinian mass protests, civil disobedience and strikes were brutally crushed by Israel.

On Tuesday we warned that the Home Secretary could "ban more groups as rebranded versions of Palestine Action. Legislation already makes this possible".

Now it's happening

Telegraph headline: "Police to assess if pro-Palestinian group Intifada 87 broke terror laws". Subheading: "Counter-terrorism officers investigate whether name illegally supports Hamas, which was founded in 1987"
