The violence is ramping up as is Trump's rhetoric. He is purposely inciting violence to justify sending the military into American cities. It's obvious that he has no intention of allowing elections to happen and clearly will do anything to stay in power. We can't allow him to win, it's down to us.

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

Putting the mayor of Newark in handcuffs all because he came to the ICE facility which he has a right to do. Facism is here folks. At least the SS didn’t hide their faces like Felon47’s goons do.

People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

Yes. And the reason is a relentless programme of disinformation to rocket boost fear, prejudice and division, in order to usher Farage into No.10.
The Times is nothing more than a deeply malign propaganda outfit for the far right.

Is there a reason I ask that the Times are using a picture of asylum seekers in a boat to describe rules for migrants who came on legal routes such as skilled worker visas for doctors?

The Times & Sunday Times @thetimes.com · 9d

Tough new conditions to be imposed on migrants who want to settle in the UK will not apply to more than a million people who arrived in the UK under the post-Brexit immigration surge

Reform party’s leadership are what you want if you like the idea of cosying up to Russia, replacing the NHS with a system where you pay for everything from your GP to cancer treatment, want an immigration system that includes building concentration camps, etc.

Meet former South Carolina Rep. and co-founder of the SC Freedom Caucus John May III. John Boy just pleaded guilty to 5 counts of possessing and distributing child pornography. It's too bad for RJ that he wasn't in the Epstein files or he'd have skated.

I never want anybody to forget that these people spend a decade using "free speech" as the thin end of the wedge to completely destroy free speech. People saw it coming, and said so, and were ignored.

Do we say a man is sane when he calls in the military to fight a war when there is no war? If such a man is not sane, do we have a solution to stop the madness if he’s in the White House?

Yesterday people asked why Nexstar and Sinclair caved. The answer is simple: those who tracked which companies were advertising with them made a huge impact. Thanks to those calls, companies began pulling their ad budgets over the Kimmel blackout.

“The president should be removed from office because he is plainly insane.”

I mean, there is no war in Portland. There just isn’t. You can’t & won’t avoid reporting this story. But you’ll still find a way to try to report it in a way that gives him the benefit of the doubt.

And that’s wrong.

Gingko! There's a beautiful gingko tree at the bottom of a hill near the rail station in Hereford. It's one of my favourites, and is looking magnificent now in it's Autumnal splendour.😀
