Los Angeles has just declared a state of emergency.
Not because of wildfires. Not because of riots. But because of an invasion by federal government troops.

We've set up Great British Energy to generate more clean, home-grown electricity here in the UK — and make us less exposed to volatile global energy markets.

I know this is obvious when you think about it but we don’t think about it enough: fascists have to cow & persecute decent journalists to prevent them from reporting exactly what they, the fascists, are doing. Fascist-adjacent ‘journalists’ help by insisting that we shouldn’t call fascists facsists.
