Same soup, just reheated. I post about law (not a lawyer), science (not a scientist), and assorted history (neither assorted nor a historian) don't expect consistent moods or themes, this is a dumpzone™️ she/her

It's day 4 of #COP30 & #UNtaxConvention negotiations, & so far we've missed out on $21 billion in tax to tax cheating multinational corporations & to the under-taxation of extreme wealth. The problem isn't scarcity, it's weakened tax sovereignty. #ChangeTaxNotClimate

if by 'ruin the workplace', he means 'point out the gendered and racialized exploitation inherent in the workplace, presenting an issue that corporations can't union bust or leglislate away'

then yes

What happened, @nytimes.com? Why not stand by your original headline? Because it’s absolutely an accurate representation of this trash conversation.

To publish this at all should be a fireable offense - but to publish it as women’s rights are being decimated is deeply immoral, bordering on evil

France continues to be one of the countries that loses out most from international tax evasion by multinationals & the wealthiest individuals. It is in the #UNtaxConvention that the desperate search for billions of euros may find its solution. @ccfd-tsolidaire.bsky.social

Thousands of workers who have fought hard to win employment tribunals are never being paid the money that rogue bosses owe them, with no consequences for bosses but a huge impact on them.

SC senators consider what could be nation’s most restrictive abortion ban State lawmakers are meeting Wednesday to discuss a proposal that could significantly reshape South Carolina’s abortion law and policies on reproductive health.

“this bill could put people in prison for up to 30 years if they help women access the procedure — including providing information about where abortion is legal, according to one attorney — or if they undergo an abortion themselves.”

UK government tries again to access encrypted Apple customer data: report | TechCrunch The U.K. Home Office is seeking access to Apple users’ encrypted iCloud backups for a second time, after an earlier attempt failed earlier this year.

UPDATE: Apple told us that it is "gravely disappointed" that it still cannot offer Advanced Data Protection (ADP) to users in the United Kingdom.

The company did not address the report that says the U.K. government sent it a new order to enable backdoor access to end-to-end encrypted iCloud.

exactly how corporate frameworks cannibalize communities.

the *~prosocial surveillance~* that people typically exert over each other (in person) is now an antagonistic, antisocial corporate surveillance.

I didn’t see Pritzker, but he announced a $2 billion investment for new ammonia fertilizer plant in Tuscola IL.

IL is the largest consumer of ammonia in US. The facility will use carbon capture & storage.

🍇 culture and the state...more interdependent than you think!

from the article: "Last year, Peru adopted a statute of limitations for crimes against humanity committed before 2002, effectively shutting down hundreds of investigations into alleged crimes committed during the fighting."

Just remember -

Your children weren't worth sending in the National Guard, or really any response, when they were being shot in their schools and stores, dying in a pandemic, or being washed away in a flood plane with heavy rain predicted

Monthly Debtors Assembly: From Burden to Power Alone, our debts are a burden. Together they give us power. When we share our experiences of debt and economic pressure with each other, we begin to see our collective power to change the systems that...

Debtors need to organize — but it begins by turning our stigma and shame into power.

Can you join our monthly debtors' assembly tonight?

Creditors bank on us, debtors, not knowing who each other are or sharing our stories. Let's defy that.
