One thing that I haven't seen said in the last 24 hours is that the Democratic Party had an opportunity, as an institution, to help shape, foster, and direct the grassroots popular uprising against Trump II.
They made a conscious decision not to.

Just been at the grocery store. They've locked up infant formula & stock Israeli products. They don't care about poor kids here, much less those on small boats in the Med & Channel or Palestinian children in Gaza. It's shocking not surprising & not either/or. They're connected.

The UK is in decline where money wields power.
Normal people toil and are just voting fodder.
Laws and policies are crafted to give the appearance of sternness and fairness, but are rarely fully enforced on corporations and the rich.

BREAKING: The U.S. deported a teen refugee with zero criminal record to one of the world’s deadliest prisons.
Agelviz came here legally through the refugee program. CBP grabbed him in Houston over a clock and rose tattoo.
Now he’s in CECOT, El Salvador’s hellhole. This is fascism in real time.

There is something bordering on abusive in the way ministers today are talking about public services – Jacqui Smith on universities, and Yvette Cooper on care homes.
They are blaming institutions for decisions forced on them by government, without admitting they or changing anything.

The Home Office will restrict work and study visas from nationalities who are most likely to overstay and claim asylum. Visas will be rejected for individuals who fit the profile of someone who will go on to claim asylum and are from countries with high rates of asylum.

Mainstream radio presenters like Vanessa Feltz are perfectly happy to contribute, in their own small way, to the rise of the extreme far right.

Similarly, in the UK, the use of immigration detention has massively increased in the last 30 years.

Do fewer immigrants come?

Why were only the same old tired voices listened to? Why were actual alternatives given less air time than fascism?
Fascism is now in the algorithms, the neural pathways, the social interactions. How did we fail to see all this? “We wanted to see Trump in terms of his absences, so that our way of seeing the world would go unchallenged,” Timothy Snyder writes.
What Does It Mean That Donald Trump Is a Fascist?
Trump takes the tools of dictators and adapts them for the Internet. We should expect him to try to cling to power until death, and create a cult of January 6th martyrs.
