The killings in Minneapolis didn’t come out of nowhere.
Funding, legal cover, weakened oversight, and dehumanising rhetoric ramping up over a year. This started on 20 Jan 2025 with Trump's executive orders on immigration.
I lay it out in my latest post.

The ICC, WHO, USAID..Trump & billionaire South African Musk are intent on destroying everything that kept us safe since 1945. Cheered on by "European patriots" Orbán, Farage.
The poorest will pay the price, while the autocrats of the world rejoice. EU, time to stand up!

With the imminent death of Windows 10 I have tried a light version of Linux called Lubuntu on a 20 year old laptop. It’s brilliant and faster than Windows ever was. Everything most people use, and not a cent to the US oligarchs.

Final thoughts today. My conclusion is that many in the US have no idea what's coming for it. Can't/won't believe. 'The institutions will hold'. 'There's always the courts.' Let's hope so. But the plan is shock & awe. Think high-profile scapegoats, a climate of fear, institutional cowardice.
NEW: The great Trump-Musk crackdown is coming. And it will hit hard & fast. Journalists will be first. But everyone else is next.
