Day 18 cont 🪓⛏️🔨👺😷🥷

#DanielJones claimed responsibility for the #confrontation on Tuesday, alongside alt-right group #Melbourne #FreedomRally, in an incident that sparked #safety concerns about the ability of #extremists to #infiltrate #SecureLocations during the #election campaign.”

The two most dangerous times for diplomatic and political security is INGRESS and EGRESS from cars to buildings, buildings to cars. How did the extremists learn the TIME and PLACE of the PM?

#Extremists would not need to create #authoritarian state in #Britain: #Starmer is doing that for them

3 authoritarian state features

- Persecution of #dissent
- Parajudicial measures to shut down opposition
- Selective application of law

All 3 are widely deployed in #UK

Introduced by #Tories, sustained & defended by Starmer's Party

The Guardian · Extremists would not need to create an authoritarian state in Britain: Starmer is doing that for themBy George Monbiot

They make claims at odds with reality and use eagerness to repeat them as a test of loyalty. The result is politicians acting in seemingly irrational ways, to the detriment of their own standing with voters and against the interests of the country.

Data on #DomesticTerrorism investigations indicate #FarRight #extremists have been a rising threat to Americans over the past half decade….The rate of increase in domestic-terrorism-related cases is eye-popping: A Feb 2023 Govt Accountability Office report found the #FBI tallied 9,049 such cases in 2021, up from 5,557 in 2020; 4,092 such cases in 2019; & 3,714 in 2018. In 2017, the year of #UniteTheRight, there were 1,890 domestic-terrorism-related cases, nearly equivalent to the preceding 4yrs.

Hungarian leader Orbán to meet with Germany’s AfD

semafor.com/article/02/11/2025

The co-leader of the hard-right German party Alternative for Germany (AfD) will meet Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán today, a sign both of AfD’s growing acceptance and of Orbán’s willingness to snub European norms.

#DickDurbin, the top Dem on the #Senate #Judiciary Cmte, pressed #KashPatel on appearances he made on a podcast hosted by #StewPeters. Peters has often expressed #antisemitic & #WhiteNationalist views.
Pressed by Durbin about why he has associated w/so many #extremists & #ConspiracyTheorists, Patel claimed he went on podcasts to take on people putting out #ConspiracyTheories in order to disabuse them of their false impressions & to talk to them about the truth. A flat-out #lie.

We need #NuancedActivism ✊ that can pull #people gently by the shirt timely enough to bring them back into the fold of #CivilSociety where #truth and #CriticalThinking can be nurtured again.

What we have is #RepellentActivism that puts a hot iron to anyone acting suspicious, and ensures they're so hurt never to return.

Repellent #activism is loved by #extremists both on the left and right as it feeds into voracious #PuritySpirals and suck more people into deep #radicalisation.

With most #Republican senators—maybe all—currently bowing before #Trump regarding his appointment of #unqualified loyalists & inexperienced #MAGA #extremists to the most important positions in government, a message has been conveyed: Trump is unfettered, federal agencies will do his bidding without a harrumph from the #GOP-led #Congress, & do not irk him. Moreover, as one might do with a mob boss, make sure to pay him protection money.
