It's easier for journalists to take right-wing populism to task *before* it becomes a full-fledged Trumpian regime.
Reform UK, Britain's answer to 'MAGA', has a credible path to power. And the monopoly press is failing to scrutinise it.

These figures expose a lethal scandal taking place in plain sight but ignored due to societal prejudice: four in ten deaths of people with learning disabilities are avoidable, double the number of other citizens.

Yes. Before the Minneapolis shooting this morning, this story broke confirming they lied about a death in custody (and there are many more)

They put Geraldo Lunas Campos in a chokehold and compressed his chest until he stopped breathing. And then they lied through their Nazi teeth.

ICE detention staff reported death of restrained man as a suicide
The statements to 911 operators the night Geraldo Lunas Campos died appear to conflict with autopsy’s later finding of ‘homicide.’

After executing Alex Pretti on Saturday, ICE has shifted to primarily targeting bus stops and elementary schools in my community this week. I cannot overstate how much of the ICE activity in my community is just targeting places where little kids are.
Video from this morning shows ICE agents deploying tear gas outside a Minneapolis preschool as parents shout, “This is a preschool! There’s kids here!”

Latest from me, and one of the most important pieces on Special Needs I've written so far: "In fifteen years of political journalism, I don’t think I have seen anything quite like this: a mad game of briefing, counter-briefing and official stonewalling."

Why the politics of media leaks, briefings and "sources" is only spreading dread and fear
The painfully long story of the government's SEND reforms has pushed exactly those buttons, among people already used to a level of anxiety that may soon get even worse

I watched the entire DHS press conference which Bovino just held a few minutes ago. They are tripling down on the fascism. Bovino could not have not been more clear that there is nothing that can't be justified in the name of immigration enforcement, and that there will never be consequences for ICE

CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.
This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

There are some things states could try to get away with when cameras weren't everywhere. To see the same lines trotted out when the world can see the evidence directly, that's where a culture of pure lawless impunity gets you. Not only post truth, but post shame.
If you were wondering where the US regime found their internal oppression & lies blueprint, take a read of the Statement from the U.K. Govt after the Bloody Sunday massacre in Derry.

The same people who said that the mass murder of children in schools was a sad but necessary price to enable citizens to bear arms and oppose tyranny are now saying that if you carry a gun it’s your fault if you’re murdered.

Creating opposition to the actions of the state or a political cause is rarely about changing the mind of 'the other side'.
It's about making time- or information-poor people aware of the horrible shit. The 'undecided centre' is rarely neutral. It's underinformed, consciously or subconsciously.

Good thread.
Something that preys on my mind every day is that the UK can say "we're not pro-Reform", but they lead in the polls and more than 50% of people who voted in 2016 wanted to head in a more right- wing, closed- off, racist and xenophobic direction BEFORE Trump was elected in the US.

1/ I've been thinking a lot about the US "This is not who we are" discourse. Trying to think through it.
Note: This is all so far out of my lane my car may as well be in a nearby lake, so just skip this thread if you're looking for actual expertise or wisdom.
