Government ‘influencers’
‘Lord’ Walney, a lobbyist for Israel, weapons manufacturers and the oil industry is urging the government/police to up the ante on protests over the banning of Palestine Action. Who would have thought it? One assumes those organisations protesting against fossil fuel companies will be next on the proscription path.
Of course, there are strategic reasons for this abuse of state police power:
“It seems this is a way to detain people, hold them in custody, instill fear and discourage people from exercising their first amendment rights,” DeBerry said.
#Authoritarian & #Facist #playbook, sponsored by the people complaining loudly about #censorship and #CancelCulture by their political opponents.
@georgetakei #NancyMace is always good for a laugh or two.
Just never the way she intends 
@RationalizedInsanity unlike #WW2 the people in the #USA know what's happening, how shit like this ends and have the means (#2A) to free the people that got #ForciblyDisappeared!
#REFORUSA NOW!
@w7voa Oh, so she'll fit right in!
@benroyce the fact that #cops ain't forced to #ID themselves with their legal name, DOB, POB, legal Address, SSN and license plate is the issue!
@PBSNewsHour @nation-PBSNewsHour Greg Abbott is trying to circumvent the First Amendment with fake drama and lies #GregAbbottIsATwat #Facist #Liar #MAGAmoron #ImpeachAbbott #FireAbbott
USpol, Newsom, Trump
@photoncollector ...it never did but whilst in the past they at least tried to make a case that someone offering to watch for their friends children is "seeking illegal employment as au-pair on a tourism visa" the #Trump regime goes full #facist now!

@Linux precisely that is what @AufstandLastGen failed to acknowledge:
Instead they acted as #UsefulIdiots to shove more #facist #PoliceState legislation forward and create even more absurd legal cases!
USpol, Trump, Tariffs
@BrianJopek last time some #facist went against "#woke #artists" they fled to #Hollywood - I guess now we'll see the inverse...
@MatWright I wish @AuswaertigesAmt / @GermanyDiplo@social.bund.de was halfway as active in the #Fediverse as on #Shitter.
But I guess that assumes @Bundesregierung does actually care about #FreeAndDemocracticOrder and #Germany's #Constitution as well as it's #values!
@kamiten I mean @AuswaertigesAmt urges people to read theirs beforehand.
I mean even before his first term the #USA's border was #facist af, but he basically turned the #US into a no-go area less secure than #Mogadishu!
@umamiaf in fact, this is a prime example why "#DeathPenalty" aka state-endorsed #murder needs to be abolished globally and why #NoHumanIsIllegal!
President Donald Trump on Friday replaced the government’s utilitarian COVID-19 website with a gaudy page that pushes a disputed theory about the virus’s origins.
The web address covid.gov no longer features information on vaccines and testing. Now, it takes you to a site that says COVID-19 leaked out of a lab in China, disparages Dr. Anthony Fauci, and accuses the Biden administration of spreading “misinformation.”

@simon_brooke that assumes several things that are proven wrong:
#TechBros didn't knew their #Algorithms (they do!)
#GAFAMs were unable to change what gets #boosted by their own Algorithms. (OFC they can!)
The same companies didn't knew the directly-linked damage they can if not cause, at least amplify (see #RohingyaGenocide in #Burma)
#TechBro|s in #SiliconValley weren't #facist to begin with (I mean, #PeterThiel is more of a #norm than #exception!)
That they never before sided with a #POTUS (In fact, they platformed #Trump and his #cult|ist #followers even after their failed #Coup and #HighTreason!)
Said #CEO|s and #CTO|s are powerless to stop any of this (in fact, they could force Trump to resign if they wanted to!)
That Trump exerts control over them (He could as.per #CloudAct but let's be honest, they control him more than he can control them!)
That #TechCompanies from the #USA didn't endorse and platform #facists and #authoritatians (espechally in the #EU) until then.
That the #US became hostile over night.
