Trump and those around him have sought from day one a pretext for unleashing military force against the American people. Today's actions are bad. But things will only get worse from here. The best possible response to it is collective action, stand up to force and document and share everything.

Last time, the Tories tried to appease Hitler, and it failed. Now, Labour is trying to appease Trump. It will fail, too. Solidarity with protesters in LA. Abolish ICE!

The conditions that have led to what’s happening in the US today exist in democracies around the world. They are an inevitable outcome of our collective failure to adapt to fundamental changes in the information ecosystem on which our democracies were originally built.

After “rule of law”, “separation of powers”, “habeas corpus”, our next legal term for those following the ongoing US constitutional crisis is “insurrection”. This is like the most dismal 101 course in constitutional law (and lack of law) ever, played before us in real time.

We're no longer the leader of the free world. We're no longer a beacon of democracy and justice. We're no longer the land of opportunity. We're no longer a nation in which no one is above the law. Our myths about ourselves are killing us. What to do? davidrothkopf.substack.com/p/we-are-not...

We agree. Tell your Representative to co-sponsor Articles of Impeachment, and vote YES on impeachment. Call (202) 224-3121 and ask for the office of your Representative. When you reach them, give your name and address. Give a brief, direct, polite, clear message. Then, do it again tomorrow.

Public ownership ‘not the answer’ says Minister as Thames Water teeters. Wrong. After 36 yrs of market solutions. Result - sewage in rivers, unplugged leaks, customers fleeced, high dividends. Govt dithered. TW added another £3bn debt, spends £200m a year on advisers. Need public ownership now.
