George Monbiot points out:
'Two-tier justice is real & ever present. But the last people who will ever find themselves on the wrong side of it are rightwing white men.
The government & judicial system treat far-right terrorism more leniently than leftwing dissent'.
In this sense, right wing authoritarianism is not a threat to our future; its already here...

Are you resisting (quietly or loud)? This is a must-read thread.
I plan on sharing it with all the #RhRR people in my Sunday missive.

I know a lot of people in the UK, Canada, France and other countries are worried about their own fascists taking over. And it's right to be worried! I'm certainly not here to tell you it can't happen. It can happen anywhere.
For the sake of everyone's mental health, though, I'd like to make a few points and recommendations, as I have managed to dance on a lot of bridges (at protests) in the US without jumping off them.
And we are winning the battle over here, no matter how awful things are.

Four Palestine Action activists have been sentenced not on the basis of the convictions for criminal damage (through a jury trial) but on the basis their crime *really* was terrorism (a subsequent decision by the presiding judge).
This not only violates the sanctity of jury trials (the jury was not informed of this possibility), it also is a retrospective legal decision, essentially violating the Rule of Law.
Its a direct attack on civil liberties!

Natasha Walter's column for The Nerve this week takes the Labour Party to task for their lamentable willingness to crack down (further) on protest.... and their habit of presenting this as a response to 'intelligence' they cannot share with us.
The current Govt.'s attitude to protest is one of the key aspects of the Labour Party's threat to democracy & one of the reasons their support is swiftly ebbing away.

On Saturday, all family visits at ICE's Delaney Hall detention center were cancelled. Senator Andy Kim made it inside and found more questions than answers.
“They told me that if I were to speak to any detainees, the oversight tour would immediately be cut off and stopped. This is impeding my ability to lawfully do the oversight that I’m legally allowed to do, and I told them I thought this was a deep breach of my responsibilities and what the American people are demanding.”
What he was able to see was disturbing.

Good news:⚡"Because of your voice on Delaney Hall, the Trump admin just released 18 yr old high school senior whose story I told. They released the pregnant women held inside. These releases show ICE isn’t targeting the violent criminals. ICE is feeling the pressure. Keep raising your voice."

Right in front of the Portland ICE detention center. It’s my wife’s scooter. She’s there every Thursday from 9:30 to Noon with Knitters Against Fascism.
They’re a group of knitters who sit on the sidewalk with their signs. And flip the bird when necessary.

Fascist paramilitary invaders team up with local fascists to brutalize protesters after dragging abductee out of hospital. (Brooklyn, NY • 05/03/2026)
Video source https://reddit.com/comments/1t32d8f
Article: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/03/nyregion/ice-arrest-protest-nyc-hospital.html
The chaos erupted just before 10:30 p.m., when agents brought the man to Wyckoff Heights Medical Center in the Bushwick neighborhood. The Department of Homeland Security identified him as Chidozie Wilson Okeke, an immigrant from Nigeria who had overstayed a visa. Agents had used force during his arrest and he had requested medical attention, the department said in a statement.
A local group that tracks Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents’ vehicles had apparently followed them to the hospital, said Sandy Nurse, the local city councilwoman, who was present during the demonstration. As many as 200 protesters gathered outside the hospital while the detainee was inside, and some began throwing garbage cans into the street, the police said. Officers received numerous 911 calls and took several people into custody, the police said.
Hours later, agents brought the man out of the hospital. Around 2:15 a.m., officers responded to new reports of protesters blocking the ambulance bay, the police said. Videos show two federal agents dragging the detained man, who is handcuffed, out of a hospital exit, down a short staircase and into the ambulance bay, where he appears to fall to the ground.
The two agents then stand over him while police officers hold back protesters who are shouting at the agents. Moments later, the agents pull the man up by the arms and drag him into a waiting car.

May 4, 1970. Four students killed at Kent State. May 4, 1886. Haymarket. May 4, 1626. Peter Minuit "purchased" Manhattan — the founding fraud. The dead are watching, and they are not impressed. We remember not as ceremony but as muscle memory. The body knows the sound of a federal letter the way a deer knows a footstep.
