Beyond #Megxit: @sjwrenlewis powerful analysis warning about the "invisible contract" between some of the public/politicians and the right-wing press that 'threatens meaningful democracy in the UK'.

TLDR: 'Permanent power is achieved in four ways': (1/5)
'The first, taking its cue from the US Republican party, is to make any election battleground about this socially conservative/liberal divide that was at the core of Brexit. The right wing press and this governmentโ€™s โ€˜war on wokeโ€™ is designed to achieve exactly that.' (2/5)
'The second means to permanent power, again borrowed from the US right, is to make it more difficult to vote, and to saturate elections with social media ads paid with uncontrolled amounts of money.' (3/5)

"The American political & economic system is designed to make you feel like you are worthless. But you are worth more than they tell you, & part of the struggle the next few years is resisting the cult mentality... that tells you to not ask for what you deserve." - @sarahkendzior
"Demand better. Always push for better, because that's how you get progress...The federal minimum wage hasn't been raised since something like 2009, and it's one of the contributing factors to why we have crisis levels of income inequality." - @AndreaChalupa
