After 15 years, I’m leaving Trump’s America and coming home to Australia. It feels like an escape | Simon Adams I no longer wish to live in a country where performative cruelty has become the guiding principle of government

"If America’s diminished democracy survives until the next presidential election in 2028, Trump will not quietly relinquish his grip on power."

#AusPol repeatedly invokes #SocialCohesion to justify #AuthoritarianCreep
What exactly is Social cohesion?

Queensland is about as welcoming as the US these days. So much for your tourism industry.

I'm not in Queensland so:
From the river to the sea;
Palestine will be free.
and
Globalise the intifada!

Under siege: the so-called right to protest and the criminalisation of dissent in Australia You could be forgiven for assuming that we have a robustly protected ‘right to protest’ in Australia. The ‘right to assemble in public’ has long been respected in common law legal systems; but in Aust...

"The failure to protect protest rights disproportionately impacts people with the least access to institutional power and who rely on peaceful assembly to have their voices heard."

‘Trump is aiming for dictatorship’. That’s the verdict of the world’s most credible democracy watchdog | Martin Gelin Sweden’s V-Dem Institute warns that the US is no longer a liberal democracy. And autocracy is creeping across Europe too, says writer Martin Gelin

As at last year, Australia rated pretty well on the #Democracy Index. I feel that Zionists are working to change that.

Worth signing, if only to make life difficult for the Zionist.

The making of Australia's police state – part one Over two decades, Labor and the Coalition have jointly built the legal architecture of a police state at the expense of democratic rights. This series traces how.

"For more than two decades, Labor and the Coalition have worked together to gradually expand police and surveillance powers at the expense of freedoms of speech, assembly and association."

Interview with owner of Canberra bar that was raided by Federal Police over satirical posters. I'm trying 'authoritarian creep' as a hashtag. Let's see if we can get it trending.

But truth still matters—now more than ever. Choose truth over lies. Choose fact over fiction.

Because when deception becomes doctrine, democracy is put on life support—and the regime has its hand on the plug.

Trump lost in court. So, he sent California’s National Guard to Portland instead.

No insurrection. No emergency. Just punishment for protest.

This is how democracies die—quietly, under cover of “law and order.”

Trump axing the Sacramento U.S. Attorney for daring to follow a court order isn’t “law and order”—it’s raw power. A cynic sees it clearly: obeying the law is now a firing offense, while breaking it is the job description.

Acting en masse as consumers in the free market was the problem. Not, having government pressure broadcasters through the FCC for cancelations. Got it! #AuthoritarianCreep #thisishowithappens

Trump says he’s designating Antifa as a terrorist organization | CNN Politics President Donald Trump said he is designating the far-left anti-fascism movement Antifa as a terrorist organization, announcing the move on his Truth Social platform in the early hours of Thursday morning UK time.

Trump calling anti-fascists terrorists is like a Big Mac accusing a salad of being unhealthy. The irony is doing push-ups. If opposing fascism makes you a terrorist, what does that make the guy pointing the finger?

Authoritarian creep doesn’t arrive overnight. It chips away — comedians silenced, shows pulled, and corporations bowing to outrage mobs. Disney just proved they’ll play along. Only way they’ll listen is if we hit them in the pockets. Boycott it all.

Without missing a beat, he said:

“Yes, absolutely. If it will make Montana safer.”

All while gutting climate protections and due process.
