Brit, European, progressive. If you think persecuting immigrants and asylum seekers improves your life then you are racist. Read books. Be curious. Build bridges, not WALLS. Humans vary, human rights must not. There must be a better way. ANTI FASCIST

Insurrection act incoming.

Insurrection act any moment.

I was chatting today... Reckoned this will happen inside 3 months.
Looks like I'm underestimating.

Trump administration officials seriously discussing invoking Insurrection Act, sources say

A decision is not expected to be imminent, one source said, but debate within the administration has shifted recently to more deeply exploring how and when the act might be invoked.

Oh no. Moscow Bob Jenrick is going to be so upset that the woke facts don't align with his bullshit opinion.

I know statistics are poorly understood and are misused. But facts matter

Between the 1991, 2001, 2011 and 2021 Census *every* ethnic group in the UK has become *less* geographically segregated and *all* groups, majority and minorities, are more likely to interact with people not like them

"This surveillance supersystem," Thiel wrote, could act as “a political framework that operates outside the checks and balances of representative democracy as described in high school textbooks.” www.wired.com/story/the-re...

The Real Stakes, and Real Story, of Peter Thiel’s Antichrist Obsession

Thirty years ago, a peace-loving Austrian theologian spoke to Peter Thiel about the apocalyptic theories of Nazi jurist Carl Schmitt. They’ve been a road map for the billionaire ever since.

What will it take for regular people to understand that if they refuse to stand up against fascism they will not be spared? Fascism is a serial killer with no restrictions on who it targets.

The "New Order" in his speech was not a reference to the popular late 70s Manchester beat combo!
It's a racist dog whistle AND HE KNOWS IT.

Such actions fundamentally betray American values. Terrorizing communities to push political beliefs and agendas is, by definition, terrorism..

Using the phrase "New Order" too... He's not talking about the band.
It IS a far right dog whistle with reference to naziism.
And US far right.

Update on Craig Holmes, candidate in the Skelton East by-election.

Seems Reform UK candidates don’t see what’s wrong with urinating on random peoples’ property.

“The bus driver told me to do it” isn’t really the level of decision making you want in a councillor.

Your reminder that when you legal protections and due process get removed from one group, even one you may dislike, that sets a precedent for other groups to suffer the same.

Jenrick delivers one of the most asinine speeches I have ever heard. He even brought along a prop, to explain how a judge becomes impartial setting aside personal views, then went on to attack judges for having views. His solution? Abolish tribunals. And who will adjudicate cases? Pfft. Details. ~AA

Don't forget that 41 Tory MPs in the last government took Russian donations. That might account for media reticence to report on the Nathan Gill case.

Make Racism Shameful Again.
That's a slogan I could get behind Jenrick.
But it ain't something you're going to ever say. Because I believe you are racist.

DJ @djwils.bsky.social · 1d

Jenrick is a liar. The film he made interviewed white folk.
