"NO CASH ACCEPTED" is a global crisis. I have seen this on three continents now. It's anti-poor, anti-youth, anti-immigrant and pro-surveillance. I had thought it was an American problem, then a Western one, but surveillance capitalism is taking over even the smallest transactions globally.

Just when you think you can’t be more repulsed - the white supremacist Trump regime is now firing cops who dare to show they’re against racism.

It's so bloody depressing.

Not actually that paradoxical when you consider almost all despots are psychotic & broken as humans.
The 'strong' bit isn't based on character, but only comes from having control over armed police/unmasked goon squads willing to commit violence on their citizens for any minor dissent or mockery.

Truly outrageous. Erasing the evidence of mounting suffering won't make it go away.

It's just a matter of time before he cancels the annual homeless count.

Yep, and we could simply look across the pond to see how Corporate Dems not taking the Trump threat seriously enough has cost America its democracy - nonetheless, Starmer is both attempting to appease the far right here - and cosying up to the US Fascist. 🤬
