Tyranny requires your fear and your silence and your compliance.
Democracy requires your courage.
So gather your justice and humanity, Illinois, and do not let despair overcome us when our country needs us the most.

It's not simply 'control'; many men, surprisingly many, just don't like woman, except when they're needed for sex. They simply do not want to have to associate or deal with women in any way.

That's no help when as intended everything is reduced to a state of emergency in which they can hold on to power by force indefinately. Don't forget, that is what they want, not an accidental byproduct of apparent ignorance and greed.

Is that a bad thing? The state of Brexity Little England on its own, without last vestige of Empire. (Though I do think we in Wales are too cowed to seize the moment so they would still have what is thought of in the Home Counties as 'Western England') I'd move to Scotland, old and tired as I am.

And what did that devious creep Mandelson recently assert about Trump? Changed his thinking entirely once he got the top job.

Unfortunately I believe that is the plan - incite more protest ('insurrection') which needs to be countered (by force) then more likely cancellation of future elections 'for public safety concerns'. USA is in the hands of self-centred traitors with more allegiance to Russia than to US people.

If one of those unvetted, uncleared, unknown 18-year-olds made a copy, they have it.

He has our personal information. All of it. Everything the government knows about you. Your identity, bank accounts, credit cards, social security, Medicare, VA disability, tax information, the property you own, all of it. Every detail.

Various politicians, some even Republican, are in the words of Susan Collins "concerned." The press is variously surprised, appalled, and aghast. There are rising calls for Musk's removal.
Here's the part they're all missing: Even if we throw Musk out, HE STILL HAS OUR INFORMATION.

Simple solution would be to bar anyone who did PPE at university. Trouble is most would then go to Tufton St. Maybe we should storm that building and seize the files.

Rubbish; for decades I have been asserting we need to know whether an MP can read a text and actually understand it. Within the grasp of any reasonably literate person, but apparently beyond many sitting MPs. Unless - the horror the horror - they choose to misinterpret information. Surely not.

I'm a realistic person with no belief in afterlife, but I hope and wish the Rainbow Bridge really exists and that I'll be one day reunited with a lifetime of lovely cats. You're the only person (oh, and your followers) I can tell this to - even sympathetic people would think I was being silly.

There's a Brian Aldiss short story - from over 30 years ago - in which *two* arks figure, one loaded with the creatures which no longer appear on Earth; they pass in an intense storm and it is assumed that 'the other one' sinks.

He even gets the classic Mussolini grimace in - a favourite of all fascist bully-boys. Nothing accidental about any of this.

That's because it so obviously is one. Musk may be staggeringly ignorant about a lot of things but he knows what he did

As in Ukraine, it's demeaning to say only Putin is responsible. Putin never pulled a trigger. It was Russian soldiers, pilots, bombs & bullets. I didn’t hear of Russian mass desertions or protests. They targeted civilian infrastructure, schools & hospitals, razing cities.
