Kringloopwinkel BASTA heeft jouw hulp nodig.
Want: binnenkort hanteert Nijmegen een milieuzone, waardoor we een elektrische auto nodig hebben. Omdat we willen blijven investeren in goede doelen, kunnen we dit niet alleen bekostigen. Daarom vragen we om hulp.
BASTA draait volledig op vrijwilligers.

Due process isn't optional in America—it's guaranteed.

47 is not a king—he's a president bound by our Constitution.

In America, our government doesn’t get to grab people off the streets, skip the courtroom, and send them straight to a foreign prison.

DUE PROCESS IS GUARANTEED

9/ Instead, repressive regimes have primarily made use of lobby, PR, & law firms; and think-tanks to influence the EU. The Lobby Register review in June is an opportunity to introduce long overdue legally-binding rules, ensuring transparency and accountability, with meaningful sanctions.

8/ And it gets worse. The EPP is also trying to pin blame for foreign influencing on NGOs! Yet our own decade of research shows out of 128 lobby vehicles, only 1 front group NGO surfaced in our investigations into repressive regime influence. corporateeurope.org/en/2023/05/b...

6/ The EU needs to consolidate and speed up implementation of the ethics body that was agreed after the Qatargate scandal, but not yet implemented. It also must ensure proper enforcement of online disclosure of MEP lobby meetings.

4/ Because while eyes are on Huawei and China, we want to highlight a deeper, systemic scandal: the failure of the European institutions to properly defend democracy from influence operations.

1/ Brussels is reeling under another corruption scandal! This time it's Chinese big tech giant #Huawei whose offices just behind the European Parliament have been raided - along with those of 15 former and current MEPs from EPP and S&D. #Huaweigate

Breaking news:EU countries bring deregulation of new GMOs one step closer - but the fight is not over yet

Today EU ambassadors voted for the 1st time in favour of deregulation. This comes after a massive lobby attack by the biotech industry, lasting over a decade

Do not obey in advance. Resist these fascists on everything.

Call them out on their egregious lies and unconstitutional actions.

Somewhere along the way, these feckless (GOP) politicians forgot that they work for us.

Get loud; silence is complicity and apathy opens the door to fascism.

The EU Commission has hired US lobby firm DCI Group to advise on trade and investment communication 😱

A terrible choice for so many reasons, incl this:

DCI helped run a Brussels-based front group funded by Facebook & Google to influence EU data privacy law 😡 ⬇️

De Nederlandse wet biedt te weinig mogelijkheden om ambtenaren te vervolgen wegens corruptie, stellen het Openbaar Ministerie en de Rijksrecherche. Zij werken aan een 'signaal' hierover naar aanleiding van een onderzoek naar mogelijke omkoping van Neelie Kroes en belastingdienstambtenaren door Uber

Trump’s last trade war cost farmers $11 billion

They lost huge markets which they never regained

Many of them still haven’t recovered

And now they’re going to get decimated

Again

Because Trump is so stupid he thinks tariffs will actually HELP the economy
