F ollowing the fascist riot at the US Capitol, progressives and liberals have begun to mimic the calls for “law and order” ( https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2021/01/07/domestic-terrorism-capitol-mob/ ) of their conservative counterparts, even going as far as threatening to expand the “war on terror”. While this may be well-intentioned, it fits neatly within the trajectory of attacks against civil liberties over the last two decades. A Biden administration with a 50-50 Senate will seek unity and compromise wherever it can find it, and oppressing political dissidents will be the glue that holds together Biden’s ability to govern.
There needs to be an immediate protest against any new laws regarding so-called "terrorism." https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/jan/14/biden-protest-surveillance-repression -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
