Suddenly, out of nowhere, a declassified World War II-era CIA guide to sabotaging fascism in the workplace has become one of the most popular free ebooks on the internet: www.404media.co/declassified...

It started with conspiracy and propaganda then evolved into dehumanisation - spreading distrust, fear and disgust about the target. The powerless were given a group to blame, the illusion of power. The techniques used now are the same. It’ll only happen again if people let it. Sadly, they are…

Via Leeds for Europe - Musk's meddlings begin: "Elon Musk set this company up in the UK in December. It means he can quite legally pay Reform Ltd $100 million. Starmer needs to wake up and tighten the rules on donations to make sure foreign actors cannot exert such an influence on our democracy."

This is very important - it should face grave consequences. The telegraph have a responsibility they neglect here pitifully. There need to be consequences for this, it is blatant propaganda. Repost if you want @ipso.co.uk to respond.

Farage needs to be truly held to account on this, The reason your are poorer, is BECAUSE of those reform UK con men!

Repost proudly if you have left X and joined Bluesky full time 🦋

Even more spot on

Spot on. This is not the time to be polite and neutral. Speak up at least

Truly terrifying

Done and dusted, bye X. A Nazi salute should be condemned by everyone and the media is complicit naming it a Roman salute

ICE is planning immigration raids starting Tuesday. Please amplify.
