This article lays out some of it, but I also like it because that embarrassing photo of M*di hugging T**mp is a perfect visual representation of how White nationalists perceive Hindu supremacists/nationalists.

Free speech continues to deteriorate in the US under Trump.

The regime ordered the increase to rejections of European travellers, especially those who criticize Trump, Russia, or Israel on social media.

Travellers are being forced to reveal 5 years of social media history.

Not to mention that the poppy commemorates a war in which the national origins here being called "foreign" were in fact British territories and thousands of whose people died fighting for Britain.
Wear a poppy --> 'This foreigner has no right to wear the poppy!'.

Don't wear a poppy --> 'This foreigner is not showing due respect to our veterans!'.

Schrödinger's 'foreigner' strikes again ('stealing our jobs'/'not working' style).

If you live in an area that gets real seasons, consider a heavier coat for winter, such as something made from 32oz Melton wool or shearling. These can be worn with jeans, whipcord trousers, chambray shirts, chunky knits, and boots.

Valstar has done shearlings inspired by Redford's coat here.

At all times, people--rich and poor, educated and uneducated, privileged and not--are susceptible to the authoritarian temptation. But when it becomes clear that the wannabe authoritarian is making you poorer and your country weaker, perhaps resistance is easier? Perhaps?

Inspired by President Trump, I gathered the Prof G Media team for a constructive, objective cabinet meeting to discuss the year so far.
