Absolutely! The US is still an Oligarchy that serves the Epstein Class, and the best we can expect from @TheDemocrats is they are somewhat less evil, and less breathtaking corrupt than the @GOP!
@metpoliceuk are the Zionists' Stasi!
After a day of intimidating and arresting peaceful #GazaGenocide protesters, how do police officers sleep at night? @CPSUK @DefendOurJuries
Who else believes that fascist Christian nationalist pastor Joel Webbon is full of homosexual guilt, and deep in the closet? #StarWars xitter.gq/RyLiberty/status/18818…
It's amazing how people can be influenced by a relentless smear campaign by the entire Establishment, especially @BBCPolitics and @guardian and almost all your MPs sabotaging the party! And now they're trying the same tricks on @ZackPolanski! #ItWasAScam
Just in case anyone at the @metpoliceuk was wondering? Yes, you are the baddies for arresting #PalestineAction supporters who are trying to prevent the slaughter of innocent Palestinians! And the following Superior Orders excuse hasn't been valid for 80 years! #PalestineAction
This disgusting @UKLabour Government releases sex offenders, and other dangerous criminals to create room for anti-Genocide protesters! How do @metpoliceuk do this and sleep at night? #FreePalestine

More repression from a corrupt and immoral Government! @metpoliceuk threatening to be even worse under Andy Burnham, than it was when Keir Starmer was in charge! The police persecute peaceful protesters against #GazaGenocide! How do they sleep at night?

The famous "Picard facepalm" meme is from the Star Trek episode "The Drumhead," aired in 1991, in which the crew becomes ensnared in a vicious spiral of national security paranoia, xenophobia, irrational suspicion and runaway confirmation bias and begins to carry out an ever-widening witch hunt against innocent crewmembers, baselessly and opportunistically accusing them of being "Romulan agents," stripping them of their rights and requiring them to prove their innocence.
Picard, having opposed it all along, is eventually hauled before the inquisition himself, provoking the famous "facepalm" gesture. He then refuses to defend himself, instead making a general plea for the entire system of rights that is under attack.
"With the first link the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably."
His opponent, the inquisitor, enraged by this, loses control and exposes herself as an authoritarian, and her spell is broken.
The episode was originally an allegory for McCarthyism in United States history. It should be required viewing for European establishments today, now a decade deep into a reenactment of the very same pathology, extending a culture of national security suspicion over everything, converting every domain of civilian life into a source of "threats," stigmatising differences of political opinion as "disinformation," thuggishly smearing opponents as being "pro-Russian" and eroding the framework of fundamental rights that gives our societies any claim to being democracies in the first place.
Those of us who know the importance of those rights will have lost count of how many times over recent years, listening to European political leaders lurch further into this psychosis, we have felt like putting our head in our hands in the universal gesture of dismay.
RIP Patrick Stewart
