The word 'Orwellian' is overused, but calling countries with active human rights protections 'human rights violators' is pure doublespeak.
Countries that have abortion access, DEI policies or protection for LGBTQ+ people will be considered “human rights violators“ by the Trump regime
We’re in the upside down.

oh Americans may not understand this, but a 'magistrate' in the UK is a local volunteer with typically no legal background. But it's ok, they receive about 10 days of training. And now they can send you to jail for two years without a jury!

Perhaps naive and nostalgic of me but – was there not a point in the last decade or so when one would have expected (at least within the legal profession and the judiciary) – a far bolder defence of the rule of law?

No right to privacy
No right to protest
No right to jury trial

So the actual bar being discussed for juryless trials seems to be anything where the sentence is less than 5 years.
Anything less than 5 years would not require a jury and could be decided by a judge in a closed room.
Worth noting that 3 years is the top number for activists generally...

I was once sceptical about the value of juries but I've learned through the trans work how shabbily our institutions treat those without privilege and fear their passing.
Like the Supreme Court's judicial roll back of human rights, this change to our justice system will hit the weakest hardest.

NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history."
BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.

How Graham Linehan can be found innocent of harassment is beyond me. The press are of course largely ignoring the criminal damage and labelling the trans person an activist because it’s easier to get readers to be against them that way. Not that it’s wrong to be an activist. It’s loaded language tho
