I thought this long and interesting thread should probably go here because it somehow seems appropriate....

28 April 1945, Benito Mussolini is executed by Italian partisans. This (long!) thread recounts the events surrounding the flight, capture & execution of Mussolini (Photo: last known photo of Mussolini alive, as he leaves Milan on the evening of 25 April 1945) [Thread] >> 1

Well the Trump administration has now arrested a judge for supposedly helping an immigrant to evade capture.

 

Smells fashy. 

A second one as well. It depends on the charges but if those judges got arrested not for bending the law but for a mere unfavourable interpretation then it’s scary and a clear example of plain fascism.

If judges break the law at a procedural level, they don't get arrested, there's a juficial oversight panel thing. It's pure fascism.

As I said it does depend on the facts and the actual charges. I am not jumping to conclusions yet.

He's deleted that tweet btw

I know. But I haven’t seen anything other about the actual charges yet. It very much depends on the facts. Ate the charges related to a judgement or to actions of her not directly related to her position.

Investigations and even sometimes convictions against judges do happen in Germany as well. Most recently a judge got a suspended sentence for bending the law during the pandemic in relation to mask mandates. He lost his appeal against it a couple of months ago.

Also shows the notion that "establishment" agents like the FBI or any police/armed forces would prevent the worst excesses of fascism by refusing to enact potentially illegal orders is bollocks.

Asha Rangappa on Bluesky can be relied on for sober legal analysis, and she thinks it stinks.

The Trump administration is clearly using harassment as a political tactic, typical fascist behaviour tbh.

Regardless of the validity of the charges against the judge, arresting her publicly is a unjustified move just for the optics. Same applies for arresting children, showing them in handcuffs. It will be a test for the conscience of the American public how long they really do tolerate clearly immoral actions and behaviour. At the moment they just prove that the majority of Americans is a bunch of arseholes. If they keep on like this it will hopefully backfire spectacularly.

The narcissism is so transparent and repugnant. The fact half of the Americans like or overlook this is nauseating. In fact more than half, because people who didn't vote should have opposed him in the ballot anyway. Fuck America, I will never see your country in the same light and I will do my best to avoid having anything to do with you from now on. This is the end result of rampant capitalism coupled with, well, a lot of things, including a poor education system. The US hegemony is gone now and they inflicted it themselves out of pure ignorance and hubris. 

 

Rome lasted over a millennium. The yanks barely managed a century. Idiots to a man.
