![The People Will Fight On
[to the tune of John Brown's Body]
There's a blaze now burning in this land from sea to shining sea
As the glories of our nation are consumed with awful glee:
From sky to ground to wavetops fascists trample on the free,
But the people still fight on.
Treachery will never prosper,
Treachery will never prosper,
Treachery will never prosper,
For the people still fight on!
While the congress sit all idle every new day brings new lows
And the downtrodden and poorest suffer each and every blow,
Our neighbours and our allies cannot fathom what we chose,
But the people still fight on.
Treachery will never prosper,
Treachery will never prosper,
Treachery will never prosper,
For the people still fight on!
We defeated slavers once before and shall do so again,
For true Liberty and Justice live on in the hearts of men,
Though they wound this mighty country we shall rise in spite of them,
And the people still fight on!
Treachery will never prosper,
Treachery will never prosper,
Treachery will never prosper,
For the people will fight on!

There is NO FUCKING EXCUSE for this to be happening.
I had a baby die in my arms of pertussis some fifty years ago. It was a HORRIBLE death. But my fellow nurses said to me, "It's almost stamped out now, they're all getting the shots, we won't be seeing this again."
HOW THE FUCK ARE WE HERE. 😡

A third infant has died in Kentucky, KYDPH adds:
“These are Kentucky’s first pertussis deaths since 2018. None of the infants nor their mothers received the recommended pertussis vaccinations during pregnancy or early infancy.”

I can not emphasise how rigged against trans people the application of law is within the UK.
There are clear evidence of sympathies throughout the police and judiciary with what are essentially far-right vehicles for civil unrest and division.

It feels worth mentioning that Graham Linehan’s harassment literally continued in the courtroom, as he repeatedly misgendered Sophia, and referred to her as “Tarquin”, a fictional deadname he made up for her as part of his harassment campaign. The judge was complicit in this harassment happening.
I wonder if I spent all day, every day, for years, calling Graham Linehan - or the judge - a nonce and then, when I saw him in the street screamed it in his face and smashed his phone, would a judge find I had done no harassing?
And that's not even factoring in the age of his victim

These people talk about democracy like it’s a decadent ancient system and it has been, at most, just under 200 years. They’re so desperate not to have to listen to anyone they are actively pushing for its demise.
James is chin-stroking about the end of democracy here, and I’d point out that the key issue for almost two decades has been a political/media class increasingly making it very clear they will choose actual Norsefire fascism over any kind of backsliding on Thatcherism, if pushed archive.ph/qBzgr

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.
