Shift right blunted: Spain parliament seats
Spain has
rejected the far-right
VOX party.
The news is not all good: the right-wing PP (misleadingly named the
"People's" party) got the most votes, and it is bad enough in itself.
When it was last in power it passed a law prohibiting the publication
of photos of thugs caught in the act
of committing unjustified violence, the "ley mordaza".
In the 2010s the PP allowed banks to seize the houses of many poor
people, leaving them with unpayable mortgage debt. They were unable
to work for a living after that, since the banks would have seized
their income. |

Texas A&M's fascism-caused debacles
Texas professor censured
for criticizing
state govt
*Texas professor suspended hours after criticizing lieutenant
[governor of Texas] in lecture.*
Repressing anyone who criticizes them is typical of fascist leaders.
The people in charge of Texas A&M appear to be fascist too.
If the students of Texas A&M take up this cause, they could do a lot
for the opposition to fascism in America.

Abbott v. Biden: river barriers
Texas governor "Hay" Abbott
defied Biden's order
to remove the buoys
that Abbott had placed in the Rio Grande, to block (and sometimes
kill) migrants. He challenged Biden to sue.
Instead of suing, which would take months to reach a decision in the
Supreme Court, Biden should send the marines to remove those deadly buoys.
The rhetorical position of fascist politicians is cruelty, and their
argument is "I get away with it, and that proves I am strong."
Sending the marines would do the job quickly and make Abbott look
weak.
It would also provide an opportunity to teach US soldiers that defeating
right-wing uprisings is part of their duty, and help find and remove any
that are not willing to uphold the Constitution.

Crack in Labour's steel
Mayor Jamie Driscoll has quit the Labour Party and is running
independently — with large amounts of backing from Labour
supporters
who condemn Starmer's iron hand.
The British tradition would be for Starmer to resign, but at the very
least he should welcome back all the Labour officials and members that
he has purged — including Corbyn,
who is no antisemite.
