After fleeing China, Zeynure + Idris Hasan thought they were safe, but China's #TransnationalRepression led to Idris' arbitrary detention in Morocco.
Pressure from Zeynure, orgs like @safeguarddefenders.bsky.social, and the US gov't led to reunion in Canada.

The economy is going through unbelievable structural transformations and capitalism is being remade. Clinging to disproven theories will result in economists who can't explain what is going on, nor advise what to do about it.

PMUK’s @stephenstroud.bsky.social explains to 5 Live why tax is not charity, and super-rich people like us can and should be mandated to pay more.
#TaxWealthNotWork #TaxTheSuperRich
CNBC: The top 0.1% have nearly doubled their wealth since 2020.
An economy dependent on the portfolios of a tiny elite isn't just unfair—it's unstable.
It is time to tax extreme wealth and invest in the real economy for the benefit of all.

A #BillionaireMeToo is a collective declaration that hoarding obscene wealth while others struggle is not normal, not acceptable, and causes huge societal damage.
We are millionaires, and we are adding our voices to say: this system is wrong. #TaxTheRich
Professor Robert Reich confirms what we already know: tax cuts for the rich don't benefit society. They explode the national debt and increase inequality.
We are the millionaires who benefited from this failed system, and we're telling you it's time for a #WealthTax.
Dear President @cyrilramaphosabsky.bsky.social, as Millionaires for Humanity, we urge you to lead at the G20.
Extreme wealth inequality is hurting Africa. A tax on the super-rich is the solution.
Please, #BeOurChampion and publicly defend the #TaxTheSuperRich agenda for people and planet.
🚨 For the first time ever, an African country—South Africa—leads the G20. With economic inequality continuing to grow, this is our moment to demand bold action.

#TaxTheSuperRich
We're not any more altruistic than the next person. We want less inequality because we know our families will be better off in a society with less inequality.
We're greedy for a different kind of country—one where all people have the ability to thrive, succeed, and have their voices heard.
It's time for the wealthy to ask themselves: Do they want to be rich people in a poor country?
Or do they want to be rich in a country with great healthcare, education, and infrastructure where everyone has economic security and the opportunity to thrive?
If it's the latter, they should join us!

Thoroughly disappointed in this LC media coverage that aired Oct 26, 2025 on CBC Canada completely misrepresents this life altering illness…extremely harmful.
