#JDVance issued a broad critique of Europe’s mainstream political parties in a speech in Munich in February & urged them to end the isolation of #FarRight parties….
But the document released overnight is the clearest statement yet of how #Trump wants his “America First” [more like #WhiteChristianHeteroCisMaleSupremacy] #ForeignPolicy to be a clarion call for other #nationalist politicians to overhaul their political systems.

European ministers on Thursday battled to resolve differences over the continent's human rights treaty at a meeting in Strasbourg, with some pushing for greater leeway to deport illegal migrants. At least 27 countries have now called for a rethink of the treaty's interpretation by the European Court of Human Rights, according to reports. FRANCE 24's Dave Keating reports from Brussels.

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1975, immediately after a visit by US Pres. Ford and #HenryKissinger, the #FarRight #Suharto dictatorship in #Indonesia invaded former Portuguese colony #EastTimor. A #genocide, and 24 years of #occupation, followed; a fifth of the population was killed.
We asked activists from authoritarian regimes what they wish they’d known sooner. Here’s what they said

Once the last hostages’ remains are returned & #Israel releases more #Palestinian prisoners in exchange, the #US backed “ceasefire” plan is supposed to advance to the next phases, which call for creating an international stabilization force, forming a #technocratic “Palestinian” [ #Trump & #TonyBlair?] govt & disarming #Hamas.

Under the terms of the “ceasefire”, the long-closed #Rafah crossing is to be opened for medical evacs & travel to & from #Gaza. WHO says there are >16,500 sick & wounded people who need to leave Gaza for care.
It was not immediately clear when the border crossing would be opened, however, because of a dispute #Israel is having with #Egypt, which wants #Palestinians to be able to return to Gaza through the crossing.

IGD: 2015 – 2025
Filed under: Featured, IGD — It's Going Down
"About a year ago, we announced a hiatus on this project. Due to an outpouring of support, we pushed ourselves to continue, and over the last year, we’re proud of the interviews and roundups we’ve been able to produce.
"But as events in the United States have continued to escalate and conditions have grown more dire, it’s clear that IGD does not have the capacity to meet the moment as a hub for grassroots reporting and journalism. In the face of this reality, we feel its important to be clear about our inability to continue, in the hopes that more people can push themselves to build and grow media projects and platforms.
"We should all have a sober and clear-eyed view of what is happening. The current administration is attempting to consolidate extreme authoritarian power. People are being silenced and working-class people are being attacked. A police state is being constructed. Conditions are worsening. Inflation and prices are exploding and the entire country feels like it is slipping into dictatorship and economic collapse, as most people struggle to put food on the table.
"While this reality is bleak, we are excited about the flood of new media projects taking off and reporting from the ground level and covering evolving social movements. We want to take a moment to shout out some of these projects and encourage you to support and follow them... [Links in thread]
"As corporations and the State consolidate news into fewer hands and the far-Right pushes to silence those who speak out, the need for dynamic and vibrant grassroots media that amplifies working-class voices and gives a platform to social movements is needed now more than ever. We hope those that enjoyed IGD over the years can help in constructing new infrastructure that can help meet our present moment."

Me: I feel like I'm turning into a conspiracy theorist when I see the hand of Putin behind almost every fascist party and every right wing outrage and every political action from many governments.
Putin: No, you're fine.

Not on #ItsGoingDown's list is #PopularResistance! They are definitely on my list!
"With the corporate takeover of federal and state governments, growing state violence and oppression, a widening wealth gap and the climate crisis, more people are becoming politically active in new and creative ways.
A growing culture of resistance is utilizing #NonviolentDirectAction and #CivilDisobedience as primary tactics, and is forming real democratic organizations to empower local communities—as opposed to working within the corrupt government dominated by a two-corporate party system and within an unfair, big finance, #capitalist economy.
PopularResistance.org is a resource and information clearinghouse for this movement of movements. We provide a daily stream of resistance news from the United States and around the world, and a national events calendar."
