For the first time I've seen UK media reporting the #Trump regime as #fascist because - finally - a US institution is standing up and telling it like it is.

Excellent interviews with #Harvard on #C4news last night describing what's happening and calling it out as #fascism.

How long before Harvard people are kidnapped off the street by Trump's #ICE Gestapo and end up in a Trump Gulag with other dissenters?

It's rare to find educated people with morals such that they'll stand for something beyond self-interest.
A.Crespo, #law professor at #Harvard, explains on #C4news how the #university's lawsuit to uphold the #1stamendment is liminal for the #ruleoflaw in the US, and how either #academia & the law profession stand up as one, or #fascism wins. Have 40 years of ultra economic liberalism entirely destroyed democratic society or have the basics of human cooperation survived?

Channel 4 News · Trump’s uni crackdown ‘is not about anti-semitism’ – Harvard professorWe spoke to Andrew Crespo, a law professor at Harvard vowing to stand up to the White House.

#c4news economics editor nailed it: "it seems #China knows exactly where to apply the pressure". China has announced retaliatory #tariffs of 10-15% on #agriculture goods, incl. #soybean and corn, China being the largest market for US #farmers.
Notice how the tariffs hit #Republican states (#Iowa, #Illinois #Missouri)?
Genius! Can't wait for #MAGA tears when the double whammy of plummeting revenue and #inflation hit them. #theartofthedeal

Wera Hobhouse has held Bath for the Lib-Dems.

Labour beat the Nastiz into third place.

Depending on what happens to the Conservative Party in the coming years, many more Bathonians may choose to vote Green at future general elections (their vote rose 12.1% as that of the Lib-Dems declined 12.1%)

A split in the Labour vote means that IAIN DUNCAN and SMITH, sorry, Iain Duncan-Smith, retain their seat in Chingford.

The Quiet Man coughed as he waited for his chance to speak.

Like other Conservative candidates who've lost tonight, #IDS (Irritable Dunkin' Syndrome) did not wear the familiar dark blue Conservative rosette. It's almost as if they think the Tory Brand is Toxic.
