If the UK media now do not apply equal harsh measures to Nigel Farage than they did to Angela Raynor, then they are complicit in
a) a Mysoginist narrative where men are forgiven and women 'should have known better' and
b) are actively saying they are okay with Farage in charge.

A memo was released by ICE instructing agents to violate the U.S. Constitution. ICE told officers and agents that they can forcibly enter homes without warrants signed by judges. The memo was from ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons, was shared with Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn) by two whistleblowers.

It's beyond satire.
"Stop calling ICE the Gestapo! ICE is nothing like the Gestapo. Now, let me innumerate all the many ways ICE is exactly like the Gestapo. Thank you for your attention to this matter."

“ICE isn’t the Gestapo. The Gestapo was…” (proceeds to describe qualities that apply to what ICE is currently doing)

The reality is quite simple.
ICE don't give a f*ck about the law. They are above it and you will kneel before them or have your head blown off.

I keep seeing posts stating that ICE cannot enter your home or a private business without a judicial warrant. While that is legally correct, in reality ICE routinely violates the law by forcing their way in, often by smashing down doors, before violently assaulting people.
Trumpism is fascism.

Well, if he's so pally with Putin, he doesn't need to worry about Russia invading Greenland.
🇺🇸❗️Putin's invitation to the "Peace Council" demonstrates Trump's desire to maintain warm relations with the Russian president, - FT
Putin is also seeking to maintain ties with American president, despite, in particular, Washington's seizure of Nicolás Maduro and its support for protesters in Iran.

-Is blackmailing treaty allies to hand over their sovereign territory
-Is trying to set himself up as chairman for life of a UN rival with $1B fees for permanent membership
-Is talking about canceling elections

A fair summary.
Zionism is to Judaism what Christian nationalism is to Christianity, but at the top of the pyramid, oligarchs and corrupt politicians like Trump aren't even Zionists nor Christian nationalists, they’re predators who feed off our resources and destroy the foundations of democracy and the rule of law.
