UK journalist Carole Cadwalladr understands the ways journalistic information intersects with political power better than anyone. Thanks to US MAGA voters the situation is quickly getting worse.
This piece is alarming, but every point she makes tracks to what we (US UK +) are experiencing. I highly recommend reading.

@JenniferSlack One 'good' thing about the British situation is that is has very powerful, vague and unaccountable anti-terrorism legislation 😬, if only Sir Keir had the guts and the political instinct to use it:

As one of the victims pointed out, Sir Keir could define the Girl Scouts as a terrorist organization, and then, any vague connection with Musk would make the latter arrestable if he sets foot on British soil. Or perhaps not the Girl Scouts - although there is nothing preventing Sir Keir from doing this, and no judicial recourse if he did - but someone like Yaxley-Lennon...
@JenniferSlack Good that these things are called out. My perspective is other than disowning, moving away from, platforms and people who are biased even dare I say toxic.
I will continue wherever I can to support a developing parallel-polis, which amounts to a new planetary civilisation, or contributor thereof. #Justice #Equality #Education #Education &
#Unity, more than but including solidarity.
WeThePeoples are keeping the conversation alive, it's the way it's always been. We/you/I can choose to see this as the death throws of the domination system of which we have been a part of (but not us/me/you) for the last 10,000 yrs. A civilisational birthing if you will. Birth is always messy and painful, so is maturing but they are both worth it.
