One nice thing about living in a liberal democracy rather than a police state is that you do not spend time feeling paranoid about whether the government is monitoring you, whether the people around you are agents of the state.

Solidarity with my American friends on No Kings Day. Here’s Umberto Eco’s famous checklist for signs of fascism. Trump’s racing through it like it’s a Bingo card but I hope you can stop him in his tracks.

LAPD wants to divide the press corps into those with Press Club badges and those without—Don’t have a badge? Obviously not media 🙄 Let me be clear: this isn’t just about the press. This is an attempt to shred legal guardrails that force restraint across the entire spectrum (1/3)

Cops led us into the street as the new “protest zone” and then beat us repeatedly. Got hit in the face with a baton. Leaving to pick up my friends who were arrested. Stay safe out there.
