Euer #Trump hat im Auftrag der #Republicans eine Erpressung in #Deutschland (Europa) mit #FBI #CIA am laufen. #Biden steckt auch mit drin + grosse Teile der #Democrats auch. Diese sogenannte #TrumanShow läuft jetzt fast drei Jahre. Ich hoffe sehr, dass #RFKJr2024 nicht dabei ist.
2) die #TrumanShow in Bayern ist abgesagt. Sie heissen jetzt #Robinhood . Die selbst ernannten #Eliten bezahlen für das, was sie wollen und zwar Millionen. Egal, ob #Adel #Rep #Dem #Royalty damit ich es für ärmere Menschen preiswert liefern kann. Bedankt Euch bei #CIA #FBI 3)
3) die Geschäftemacherei des #RedCross und der #Johanniter (Dörnyei) ist vorbei. Und fühlen sie Caroline #Kennedy auf den Zahn, inwieweit sie gegen ihren Bruder arbeitet. Das ist nur ein Gerücht. Prüfen Sie es.
Yesterday I got arrested whilst filming a @JustStop_Oil supporter holding a banner on the pavement near the coronation route. I'm a filmmaker and had my @bectu press accreditation visible around my neck.
Police deemed this to be "conspiracy to commit a public nuisance".
Police deemed this to be "conspiracy to commit a public nuisance".
After police stopped me filming, they ripped my press pass off and handcuffed me behind my back.
Even before this protester held this banner up, myself and 4 protesters were surrounded by police and stop and searched to look for "articles to commit criminal damage". They didn't find anything.

#LabourConference2022 delegate from Edinburgh Vijay Jackson quotes Keir Hardie on why the labour movement should oppose the #monarchy
#QueenElizabethII #KingCharlesIII #NotMyKing #Labour #Lab22
#QueenElizabethII #KingCharlesIII #NotMyKing #Labour #Lab22
This is what Hardie said:
"Even under a representative system of government it is possible to paralyse a nation by maintaining the fiction that a reigning family is a necessity of good government. Now, one of two things must be – either the British people are fit to govern
"Even under a representative system of government it is possible to paralyse a nation by maintaining the fiction that a reigning family is a necessity of good government. Now, one of two things must be – either the British people are fit to govern
themselves or they are not. If they are, an hereditary ruler who in legislation has more power than the whole nation is an insult. Despotism and monarchy are compatible; democracy and monarchy are an unthinkable connection.
The last few days since the death of Queen Elizabeth II have felt like a complete whirlwind. As someone who studies the history of monarchy & empire, there's been so much to process intellectually & emotionally. I wanted to share a few thoughts, so here comes a thread... 1/14
Firstly, the conflicted nature of domestic & global reactions to the Queen's death is remarkable. So many overlapping, competing currents of grief, scorn, anger, poignancy & bemusement all jumbled together. Social media means we see & feel it more clearly than ever before. 2/14
All too alarming is the silencing of holistic & critical reflection of the late Queen's reign/role of the monarchy under a mawkish, oppressive rendering of 'respect' & 'mourning'. Where is the space to deal productively with everyone's conflicted feelings & ideas? 3/14

First, check out this remarkable @Techcrunch article called "Geeks for Monarchy".
Long before the 2016 election brought us a #Trump/#Putin/#Theil/#AltRight mashup of craziness, @klintron laid out this #antidemocracy ideology waaaaaay back in 2013.

#Thailand #protesters already gathered infront of parliament house where MPs & senators are debating on whether to amend #constitution. They'll likely be able to start taking a vote at about 6pm #Bangkok time. This is continuation of reform demands #ไปสภาไล่ขี้ข้าศักดินา

Surrounding people applauding young #Thailand graduate for taking a picture of plaque laid down by #protesters calling for #monarchy reforms, change in government & constitution. Many question how long this plaque will remain as it's infront of palace #19กันยาทวงอํานาจคืนราษฏร
#Thailand @prayutofficial thanked all for a peaceful #protest this weekend. Said officers ensured safety of all, both authorities & protesters avoided "unnecessary tensions" by not confronting each other.

Major turnout at @FCCThai with a discussion on the ongoing #Thailand pro-democracy/anti-government protests. One of the key organizers of the protests @fordtattepRuang is speaking while others arrested earlier today still making their way from court to the event. #ประเทศกูมี
@fordtattepRuang at @FCCThai now says need to "escalate" protests given the continuing harassment as seen with the arrests of pro-democracy/anti-government protesters. He's also calling on media to not exercise "self-censorship". #ประเทศกูมี Rest of speakers have arrived.
@thapanee3miti Veteran #Thailand journalist at @FCCThai says mainstream media under "alot of pressure" in covering pro-democracy issue & anti-government protests. Believes there's still media "freedom". Says she's "committed" to reporting issue but constraints exist #ประเทศกูมี
