“What is happening on the streets of Minneapolis is a test. …the intention is to provoke street violence in order for Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act. … And that’s why…I’m going to highlight Mark Carney’s speech at Davos. …finally there was someone with authority prepared to…defend what we may one day describe as the reality-based order.”

“In countries under the Iron Curtain, people felt powerless, but they weren’t, that was Havel’s message. And also, Carney’s. The job of power is to make people believe they have no power, but it’s a lie. And it’s the same in Minnesota. …the ordinary people of Minneapolis aren’t. They’re showing what it takes to stand up to power. And this killing only proves it.”

“Courage is contagious. Carney’s words made a difference. That’s what words do. And it’s why the mass cowardice of America’s rich and entitled and powerful is the real problem America is facing right now. A cowardice that’s being normalised by the enabling actions of other world leaders.”

“You know the other person who ordered extrajudicial executions on his own people? President Duterte in the Philippines. He, like Trump, was elected in 2016. He waged a war not on immigrants but drugs. Last year he was arrested for crimes against humanity.”
