I don’t think I have any choice today but to direct everyone here, to today’s Owen Jones video in which he discusses recent events in Minneapolis. What is unfolding there and in America at large is utterly shocking: as I understand it, an immigration officer shot dead a 37-year-old woman. She was behaving peacefully, but Trump has immediately attempted to rewrite what happened and claim she was breaking the law or attacking the officer. Evidence is obviously scant, but going by what Jones shows us, what Trump is trying to do here is a brazen act of fascism. There is no other word for such a clear attempt to distort the evidence. We are now watching. the world’s most powerful superpower being overtly manipulated and deceived by a right-wing autocrat while those who dare to oppose him are being shot in cold blood. We should all find that very worrying indeed.
