    if #MAGA #GOP #Republicans were doing this in #PuertoRico, trust that they had the same vote-buying scheme across all USA prisons.

    as i have said before: Puerto Rico is the fascist gringolarchy’s #civilRights #humanRights #abuses and #genocide laboratory.

    go look up Wikipedia for how gringos killed Don Pedro Albizu Campos, the afroboricua leader of our decolonization and independence movement.

    the fascism they do there is a trial run for how they’ll do it here & elsewhere.

    On "#International #Migrants Day" we need to find far better ways to support #migration

  13. …As #DOJ officials pushed back against suggestions that a #CivilRights investigation was in order in the days after Ms. Good’s death, clashes between #Minnesota residents & #immigration agents escalated. Some #prosecutors were met with resistance when they urged supervisors to open investigations into reports of #assaults & #abuses by #federal agents. The DOJ also blocked the MN Bureau of Criminal Apprehension from taking part in investigating Good’s killing, adding to prosecutors’ frustrations.

  14. 4) 23 of #Epstein victims have #testified in court. In an August 2019 hearing, 22 women spoke about the #abuses #assaults committed by #Epstein and #GhislaineMaxwell. 4 women testified at Ghislaine’s trial. Investigative reporting has identified roughly 80 #survivors in total. #lies #sextrafficking #coverup #survivors #trump #doj #fbi #censorship #children #girls

  15. #Apple removed the #EyesUp app, which #archived videos documenting #ICE #abuses, from its #AppStore. The app, unlike others banned for real-time ICE sighting reporting, aimed to preserve evidence for potential legal use. 404media.co/apple-banned-an-ap #tech #media #news

  16. #Apple #Banned an App That Simply #Archived Videos of #ICE #Abuses

    Apple removed an app for preserving #TikToks , #Instagram reels, news reports, and #videos documenting abuses by ICE, 404 Media has learned. The app, called #EyesUp , differs from other banned apps such as #ICEBlock which were designed to report sightings of ICE officials in real-time to warn local communities.

  17. #Congress authorized the #DOJ to conduct civil investigations into constitutional #abuses by #police, such as excessive use of force or racially-motivated policing, in 1994, as a response to the horrific beating of #RodneyKing, a #Black man, by #white #LAPD officers.

    During #Biden's presidency, the #CivilRights Division launched 12 such "pattern or practice" investigations into police depts including #Phoenix, #NYC, #Trenton, #Memphis & #Lexington.

  18. By #law, the #State Dept releases annual reports for every country, & they traditionally follow one basic outline. The cuts ordered in the #Trump admin memo are not targeted at specific countries. Rather, they eliminate entire categories of #abuses from all the reports.

    But some deletions are more noteworthy than others. The Trump admin recently negotiated the transfer of #immigrants from the #US into #ElSalvador's notorious #prison system.

    The #State Dept is changing its mind about #HumanRights

    The #Trump admin is substantially scaling back the State Dept's annual reports on international human rights to REMOVE longstanding critiques of #abuses such as harsh #prison conditions, govt #corruption & restrictions on participation in the political process, NPR learned.

  20. Protests work. A female rocker & her band were arrested after she gave a virtual concert (no live audience) w/ her hair showing. Public outcry got them all released the next day. Protests like two years ago, about the "hijab law", are the last thing #Iran wants now, so they postponed the new hijab law taking effect. Protests work.

  21. #ColonialCrimes : World #Map of #Justice Initiatives.

    “Don’t portray us as a band of beggars coming to demand reparation. […] I think the Europeans have obligations to us, like all the unfortunate, but especially to us for harms that they caused. That is what I call reparation.” These words of Aimé Césaire, renowned Martinican author of “Discourse on Colonialism”, still resonate everywhere in the world 71 years after they were published.

    The issue concerns 70% of the world’s population, either as a citizen of a colonizing country or as one of the colonized, according to French #history professor Bouda Etemad, author of the book “Crimes and Reparations, the West faced with its colonial past”. The colonized and their descendants, he writes, have the right to demand #reparation from the #European powers for the harms these States committed over a period of 500 years, from the “discovery” of #America by Christopher #Colombus to independence in the second half of the 20th century. Forced labour, slavery, persecution, executions, extermination, bombardments, looting and forced cultural #assimilation: the list is long of violent #abuses that accompanied #colonization in #Africa, the Near East, #Asia, the Americas, #Oceania and northern #Europe.

    This special focus concentrates on the period known as the “second #colonial empire” which from 1815 marked the new #expansionism of the Western powers until the wave of independence in the 1960’s and 1970’s.

  22. #Respect for #family doesn't mean you need to tolerate #abuses from family. Just because someone is related to you - does not mean you need to keep associating with them, if they are violating many of your core values & are #bigots. If they refuse to make changes to become more humane people, I won't keep tolerating their ignorant bullshittery.

    These are family members who used to tell me & my parents that I'm stupid & foolish for being a lifetime community volunteer. They made fun of me when I tried to organize my first socks & gloves drive for homeless folks, at age 10 too. They're uncompassionate jerks. They completely forget where the hell they came from. They value money over #humanity.

    Fuck them. Until they learn to do better, I ain't gonna let them anywhere near me or my immediate family.

  23. This white woman couldn't answer direct questions about her #colonial BS & trying to elevate her #HBC colonizer family - while refusing to address her family's #abuses on Indigenous ppls & she's trying to earn money from telling more #colonial #whitewashed lies.

    This shithead is trying to #WHITEWASH #CANADA #HISTORY . By erasing #Indigenous peoples' experiences & refusing to accept her family were shitty #colonizers 🤮

    #BOYCOTTwhitewashers #BoycottRacistAuthors #FuckThisPOS

  24. Before anyone (especially white settlers) tries to 'educate' me on #IndianAct in #Canada - pls realize I'm more than a little bit #educated on #Canadian #UglyTruths regarding #Indigenous #FirstNations here. I've fought alongside native #LandDefenders .
    Highly suggest #reading #research about past & present #exploitation & #abuses from governments & industry before making ignorant comments about #NativeLands #resourceExtraction & #interconnected #CulturalGenocide issues.

  25. A separate US #civil #lawsuit accuses the #platform, at the time led by #JackDorsey, of enabling #SaudiArabia’s #HumanRights #abuses against its users. The case comes from the sister of a fmr aid worker, #AbdulrahmanalSadhan, whose anonymous parody account… mocking the country’s govt earned him 20 yrs in #prison. But it connects his fate to a pattern of behavior that includes the kingdom’s installation of #operatives into #Twitter’s ranks to funnel to authorities private info on #dissidents.

  26. Where Do Many Police Departments Train? In Israel

    Baltimore, Florida, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, California, Arizona , Connecticut, New York, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Georgia, Washington state as well as the DC Capitol #police have all #traveled to #Israel for #training. Thousands of others have received training from Israeli officials here in the U.S… Many of the #abuses documented, #parallels violations by #Israeli #military, security and police officials.

  27. @strypey
    There's a bit too much hyperbole in this one. There's some bright sparks like highlighting how #WarrenBuffet isn't a good person, but he contradicts himself by taking Buffet's advice (just one example).

    A lot of arguments are 2014-ly, or not based on things bitcoiners actually say or do.

    He neglects the elephant in the room, the #cantillonEffect, #speculation and the numerous flow on #abuses and -'ve effects of #TheFed papacy.

    He talks up a #CBCD (aka #CentralBankDigitalCurrency) so…

  28. I don't celebrate #CanadaDay anymore for same reasons my friends in #Australia stopped celebrating #AustralianDay - we won't find joy in celebrations over #colonization & forget the #abuses that are still not fully admitted, #reparations aren't actually happening & #Indigenous #landdefenders still being arrested on their own lands.

  29. The Oligarchic Revolution Unfolds:

    James Buchanan’s ideas began to have huge impact, especially in America and in Britain.

    In his home country, the economist was deeply involved in efforts to #cut #taxes on the wealthy in 1970s and 1980s and he advised proponents of #Reagan Revolution in their quest to unleash markets and posit government as the “problem” rather than the “solution.”

    The Koch-funded Virginia school coached scholars, lawyers, politicians, and business people to apply stark right-wing perspectives on everything from #deficits to #taxes to school #privatization.

    In Britain, Buchanan’s work helped to inspire the public sector reforms of Margaret #Thatcher and her political progeny.

    MacLean illustrates that in South America, Buchanan was able to first truly set his ideas in motion by helping a bare-knuckles #dictatorship ensure the permanence of much of the radical transformation it inflicted on a country that had been a beacon of social progress. The historian emphasizes that Buchanan’s role in the disastrous #Pinochet government of Chile has been underestimated partly because unlike Milton Friedman, who advertised his activities, Buchanan had the shrewdness to keep his involvement quiet.

    With his guidance, the Chilean #military #junta deployed public choice economics in the creation of a new #constitution, which required #balanced #budgets and thereby prevented the government from spending to meet public needs. #Supermajorities would be required for any changes of substance, leaving the public little recourse to challenge programs like the #privatization of social security.

    The dictator’s human rights #abuses and #pillage of the country’s resources did not seem to bother Buchanan, MacLean argues, so long as the wealthy got their way.
    #Despotism may be the only organizational alternative to the political structure that we observe,” the economist had written in "The Limits of Liberty".

    If you have been wondering about the end result of the Virginia school philosophy, well, the economist helpfully spelled it out...
