They aren’t afraid of “ANTIFA.”

They’re afraid of accountability, of people who document what they do, and of a public that can still recognize fascism when it sees it.

I am writing this because it has swiftly become crystal clear to me that many people have no idea what is happening or how this works. Here is a thread for non-academics to put into context what just happened to Dr. Mark Bray, a fellow historian.

On #BBCQT - Fiona Bruce said that the audience and public didn't want to press Reform UK on their dodgy links to Russia.

I disagree.

RT if you agree it's in the public interest for Reform to explain about their links to Russian money and bribery!

Honest 😉 They really mean it this time 😂

These freaks keep getting on TV talking about opposing antifa and how they believe antifa wants to destroy them, and not a single person in mainstream media has asked or commented on what is the opposite of antifascism and who is threatened by antifascists

No, you're mistaken, it was Aberbaijan & Albania. Get your facts straight! 😉

From Sunday, travelling into Europe gets tougher for Brits.

New EU border rules mean fingerprint scans, photo registration and longer queues.

This is the real-world cost of Brexit - more hassle, more red tape, more delays.

Polanski expertly dismantling the "rich people will move if we tax them" narrative, while Denham nimbly demonstrates how very patriotic such people are.

Eddie Burfi @eddieburfi.bsky.social · 1d

Former Head of Comms for the IEA, Annabel Denham, says the super rich will leave if we have a wealth tax.

Yes, the very same IEA that brought us Liz Truss’ disastrous mini budget. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Green Party leader Zack Polanski explains that their taxable assets can’t leave. #bbcqt

Sometimes we need a moment, but if you tune out completely, they win. Fascism doesn’t need your support, just your silence.

You know what fascism looks like? Attorney General Letitia James getting criminally indicted on literal trumped-up charges by the criminal who she fought to hold accountable for the actual crimes he committed and is now using the full power of the US govt to seek vengeance.

With all the caveats about anonymous posters, this is still staggering, a revelation of what a sliver we see reported across mainstream & alt media combined; and this itself is obviously just a sliver. www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/...

A couple of weeks ago I heard an Israeli Govt spokesperson on Piers Morgan’s show…

He said Israel had killed 20,000 Hamas terrorists

This week we learn:

18,457 children confirmed dead

55,000 children acutely malnourished

So a war on children as much as a war on Hamas.

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

The ICE stories in this Reddit thread should shake every American, regardless of party, to their core. We no longer have a Constitution. This is fascism, pure and simple.

I love that there's now more choice & that you still bought an EV 👍 I'm still in my 2017 S 😁

That'll be a hot battery cooling. I stick to %, like my phone & never leave it below 20%, the car will warn you about a cooling battery too. Everywhere has a socket so in a pinch you can always use the UMC & plug in 😉

Lolz, never had a problem 😂 Been fully EV for 8 years now, never once had a problem. Driven 1000s of miles all over Europe too 👍 Can highly recommend 😉
