Trump is using the FBI as his personal Gestapo. The FBI just arrested Milwaukee Judge Dugan for allowing an immigrant to exit by a side door. By not forcing them directly into ICE hands, the arrest is apparently now warranted. This is how a police state takes root. Political opponents are next.

The cruelty is the point. The banal, vicious, performative cruelty. Turns out ‘anti-woke’ just meant anti-decency, anti-humanity & anti-rule of law.

Without due process, this could be you. It could be me. It could be any or all of us. It doesn’t matter who you voted for. Or the color of your skin. You must understand what is truly at stake here. All tyranny needs to thrive is for people of good conscience to remain silent.

Stop the gravy train! Labour is taking rail franchises into public hands - but the trains themselves are still privately owned. Train-owning firms took £3.6 billion dividends in the last decade. Take 1-min to tell the govt to stop the gravy train: weownit.org.uk/act-now/grea...
