UK anti-immigration social media accounts traced to Sri Lanka and Vietnam ByMarianna Spring
The "Great British People" Facebook page, which purports to be from Yorkshire, has had 1.3 million views for its latest video of an elderly white British man crying about his pension. Other videos show reporters discussing "the overwhelming scale of mass immigration" and asking viewers if they miss "the Britain we used to know". -

The most immediate effect of Trump’s threat is to make Chandler Hall, the #CAP report’s author, a folk hero among DC’s left-leaning policy analysts. But if the threatened lawsuit actually materializes, #Trump will lose.

#CAP is led by #NeeraTanden [💕], one of the Democratic Party’s most influential power players & a veteran of the past three Democratic admins. But a less partisan #ThinkTank, the #NiskanenCenter, published its own report in May that also found no effect on violent crime in DC attributable to the #NationalGuard deployment. (It did find a reduction in property crime, which CAP did not analyze.)

What set #Trump off was a #CAP report that found #NationalGuard deployments in DC have not contributed to the decline of violent crime. Trump said on social media that he’s drawing up a lawsuit against the liberal #ThinkTank & suggested that he might include some of its contributors. Trump named Google, Apple, Visa, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Walmart, Toyota, T-Mobile & NBC Universal.

Think tanks are as American as baseball, jazz & apple pie. They perform an unsung role in holding governments accountable at all levels. They incubate ideas & employ people, especially from whichever party is out of power, who will staff future White Houses.
Such organizations & their supporters should not fear legal harassment when elected officials dislike their work. Freedom of speech & association are foundational pillars of the #FirstAmendment.

#Trump’s attack on a #ThinkTank is an affront to the #FirstAmendment
#Republicans would be rightly irate if a Democratic president threatened to sue a conservative think tank & punish its corporate #donors over #research the White House didn’t like, but Trump’s attack this week on the Center for American Progress [ #CAP ] & its funders has been met with shrugs & silence.

As part of their inquiry, the documents show, #DHS officials used an array of invasive tactics during the first half of this year to gather information on many groups & individuals who were NEVER even accused of crimes, crossing the line that has traditionally stood between investigating criminal activity & political #dissent.

Instead, it was several #left-leaning #political organizations — #labor #unions, a #ClimateChange group, #socialist collectives — that investigators believed had provided help & money to what they described as the “violent opportunists & agitators” on the street, acc/to newly released government documents.

Four days after #AlexPretti was fatally shot while filming officers taking part in the #Trump admin’s #immigration crackdown in #Minnesota, the #DHS quietly opened an investigation at its office in St. Paul.
The target was not the #BorderPatrol agents who had killed Mr. Pretti, a 37-year-old government nurse, in late January.

Tinubu’s Lagos Governance Tactics (1999–2007): The Laboratory for the “Lagos Model” by Lawson Akhigbe
These tactics blended fiscal innovation, technocratic recruitment, institutional reform, political networking, and strategic confrontation with the federal government. They created the so-called “Lagos Model”, a proof-of-concept for sub-national self-sufficiency that influenced his successors (Fashola, Ambode, Sanwo-Olu) and later his national approach. -

They have very few laws, because, with their social system, very few laws are required. Indeed, one of their great complaints against other countries is that, although they’ve already got books and books of laws and interpretations of laws, they never seem to have enough. For, according to the Utopians, it’s quite unjust for anyone to be bound by a legal code which is too long for an ordinary person to read right through, or too difficult for him to understand.
[Leges habent perquam paucas. sufficiunt enim sic institutis paucissimae. Quin hoc in primis apud alios improbant populos, quod legum interpretumque uolumina, non infinita sufficiunt. Ipsi uero censent iniquissimum; ullos homines his obligari legibus; quae aut numerosiores sint, quam ut perlegi queant; aut obscuriores quam ut a quouis possint intelligi.]Thomas More (1478-1535) English lawyer, social philosopher, statesman, humanist, Christian martyr
Utopia, Book 2, ch. 7 “Of Their Slaves, and of Their Marriages” (1518 ed.) [tr. Turner (1965 ed.)]More about (and translations of) this quote: wist.info/more-thomas/85391/

Due to the US's increasing criminalisation of dissent, I've decided to shift this blog to being entirely about Buddhism and comparative religions and cultures, in which I have a BA and about 40 years of experience. This blog's archives have been updated accordingly.

Silence is Golden (Especially When It’s About Your Land) by Lawson Akhigbe
In most functional societies, those quaint places where governments occasionally remember they exist to serve rather than to frustrate, when a citizen submits an application requiring official action, a few basic courtesies are observed. An acknowledgment. A request for missing documents if needed. Perhaps even a timeline, however optimistic. The machinery of state, however rusty, at least coughs to confirm it has received your papers. -

The 27th Amendment dictates that no law changing the compensation for the services of Senators and Representatives can take effect until after the next congressional election has intervened. This rule ensures that members of Congress cannot vote to give themselves an immediate pay raise that takes effect during their current term. #Democracy #Epluribusunem #constitution #articles #amendment #law
