America's descent into suppression of dissent 🧵
I've been tracking Trump's actions since Jan and have included 93 actions that I consider to suppress dissent.
They fall into 4 domains and their use is quite different over time. 1/16

Happy birthday, Schengen Agreement!
More than 450 million Europeans. 29 countries. 1 shared freedom.
In 2025, we mark 40 years since the Schengen Agreement was signed.
This landmark event has reshaped how over 450 million Europeans live, work and travel.

Some ghastly extracts from that Carswell article.
Non-western migrants.... large scale 'remigration'... sacking judges who defy Carswell's plan.
Remember when we all thought Carswell was an interesting MP....?

If a Muslim in the US publicly called for a missile strike on a famous celebrity activist onboard a civilian ship or plane, the FBI would be investigating them for terrorism.
But a rich white guy gets to incite violence without any consequences 🤷🏽♂️👇🏽

Imagine if a referendum were held in which 52% of those who voted declared that the Earth was flat.
And that subsequently everyone in the UK was forced to behave as if the Earth was indeed flat, and all main parties said "Ok, flat it is. Evidence be damned."
That's Brexit.

Marx's prediction that wages would eventually gravitate towards subsistence levels used to be wildly mocked. But millions of British workers would be starving without food banks and in-work benefits.

Nigel Farage seems confused about @greenparty.org.uk wealth tax.
It’s a tax on assets over £10 million - not “virtually everybody.”
The fact he thinks that will bother everyone exposes just how out of touch this millionaire mouthpiece for billionaire fossil fuel donors really is.

Keir Starmer went to Albania today as part of his ridiculous cosplaying as a Reform PM.
He took one media outlet with him.

He has lost all credibility and is in danger of completely losing his party. It is an embarrassing lack of leadership.

Throughout his campaign, Trump benefited massively from people disregarding what he explicitly said and substituting their preferred policy outcomes.
Now he's actually doing stuff, and his spokespeople are encouraging you to ignore it in favour of an idealised alternative reality.
