Flags don’t mean what they used to just months ago. I’ve written about how I think the same is happening to the poppy.
One thing I noticed today on that topic: so many people are wearing poppies that look nothing like the various ones the Royal British Legion sells…

First the flag. Now the poppy
A sombre display of remembrance is being weaponised and policed by nationalists

Sad to see Rhoda Dakar has had to cancel her Scottish tour - non mainstream artists have more and more of a battle to sell tickets - our world is becoming banal and tediously fascistic (because that has the simplicity of lazy thinking)

I'm appalled but unfortunately unsurprised to hear that ICE is targeting my neighbors in Rogers Park today. Unidentifiable and unaccountable agents are roaming the streets with their faces covered targeting schools and community centers. It needs to end. Abolish ICE.

Press/MSM, especially BBC, has found it impossible to accept that their one-time mates, the Tories, lost GE last year.
They now have a new "hero," Farage, of course, and have "decreed" that he will be PM, asap.
Labour must be hammered daily, and other progressive parties, eg Greens, swatted away.

Question to Zach Polanski at the leadership announcement:
"Q: How can you take on Nigel Farage when your policy on immigration is so different?"
Everything wrong with British politics and media summed up so succinctly in a single absolutely unhinged question.

The account from which Trump shared this QAnon image churns out an endless stream of material designed to drive race hate, antisemitism, fear & hatred of trans people, Muslims, etc. The message refers to "the Storm" of violence that QAnon cultists eagerly expect Trump to unleash.

The way the Trump administration has tried to make an example of a very ordinary person, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, basically for embarrassing them politically, is unprecedented and terrifying.
Despotism at the Door
The thread that ties John Bolton and Kilmar Abrego Garcia is clear: We have a president who wants to operate outside the law.
