Sentence for activist Joshua Wong in Hong Kong
Pro-democracy activist Joshua Wong sentenced to 10 years in prison for conspiring to collude with foreign entities under the national security law.
"A Brazilian Labour Court has ordered Cooabriel, the São Gabriel Coffee Growers’ Agricultural Cooperative, which supplies major companies including Nestlé and 3Corações, to take measures to prevent slavery-like conditions and other labour rights violations in its supply chain.
Cooabriel is listed among Nestlé’s suppliers and publicises its participation in the Grown Respectfully programme, which the Swiss multinational describes as “the largest sustainability programme in coffee farming”.
Customs data analysed by Repórter Brasil also indicate that, in 2026, Cooabriel exported coffee to France’s Sucden, one of the world’s largest agricultural commodity traders, and to American Coffee Corporation, a US coffee importer.
The MPT’s lawsuit also names Starbucks as one of the cooperative’s major customers.
Cooabriel holds two certifications from 4C – Certification for Climate, Conservation and Communities, a scheme that sets standards for sustainability and respect for labour rights."

Joshua Wong, face of Hong Kong's pro-democracy protests, jailed for 10 years
Breaking: Hong Kong democracy activist Joshua Wong jailed for 10 more years
Prominent Hong Kong democracy activist Joshua Wong has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for collusion with foreign powers.
The racist NT and Queensland governments are locking out the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, Dr Albert Barume, from their ghastly youth detention centres. For sure they are hiding major abuse. https://michaelwest.com.au/childrens-detention-what-are-the-nt-and-queensland-governments-hiding/ #auspol #IndigenousX #humanrights #OzApartheid
israel's war against children: "Israel restricting treatment for 1,100 child amputees in Gaza: NGO"
"The Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor said that Israeli restrictions on travel also include medical evacuations, preventing hundreds of children from seeking specialised treatment abroad.
The monitor reported on Wednesday that 1,134 children in Gaza had undergone limb amputations due to Israeli attacks, but few are receiving the long-term medical care they need.
The World Health Organization said 2,300 amputees – both children and adults – were assessed for treatment between September 2024 and May 2026."

Food grown in illegal West Bank settlements being sold in Australia as ‘produce of Israel’
"Millions of dollars of food grown in illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank has been shipped to Australia labelled as “produce of Israel”, a new analysis of trade data has shown.
The foreign minister, Penny Wong, told the Senate in September that Israel’s settlements in Palestine’s West Bank were illegal, and said the Australian government called on Israel “to stop settlers from destroying properties, displacing families and beating, torturing, sexually assaulting and killing Palestinians”.
But she said Australia was not pursuing a blanket import ban on settlement goods, as other countries such as the UK, Spain, Belgium, Ireland and the Netherlands have either announced or imposed." Showing once again Labor's complicity and lack of any action against israel.

A brave, informative and inspirational interview between #ZackPolanski and #GretaThunberg.
Brave - explaining concerns about the #ClimateCrisis can be and are connected to concerns about #HumanRights and consequently #Palestine.
Informative - because watching the western media you are unlikely to know that Morocco has occupied territories and camps in Western Sahara.
Inspirational - because it acknowledges activism burnout, but also community and moral duty.
NT government accused of hiding what's going on inside youth prison
"Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children make up almost all of the youth detention population in the NT on any given day. "Children as young as 10 are incarcerated [at Holtze]." "
"The United Nations has been blocked from inspecting the Northern Territory's children's prison in a move that has been condemned by human rights lawyers, who say the refusal raises questions about what the NT government is hiding." >>

Judging by the results of national #elections this year in #Hungary, #Serbia, #Brasil and now the United States, I can't shake the feeling that maybe people don't really want politics for corporations.
Instead they seem to prefer things like affordable housing, education and political leadership that works to improve things for everyone instead of just a handful of #billionaires.
I can totally get behind this idea.
Methinks that the big worry for the MAGA GOP Republican crowd is that Americans *are* ready for a woman to lead the country & the 2028 election is going to be a Democrat BlockBuster!!!
Many thanks to all the progressive & young voters 💪🥳

HHS final rule (3 Nov): for its Section 504 disability rule, gender dysphoria not caused by a physical impairment falls inside the law's exclusion. From 4 Jan 2027, in HHS-funded programmes.
HHS claims no "position on the legitimacy" of gender dysphoria. Federal courts in MD, NC, SC, VA, WV still follow Williams v. Kincaid.
Refused care? Note date, place, who said what.
Missouri rejected Amendment 3, 55.2% to 44.8% (AP call). It would have put a ban on trans youth care into the constitution.
That doesn't prove voters back the care: it was bundled with abortion, and the 2023 law stands.
Sports and bathroom measures elsewhere lead at about 52 to 66%. Colorado isn't called. None is near the "80/20" Missouri's auditor claimed.

Relieved to wake up this morning and see that Abdul El-Sayed has indeed won the senate race in Michigan! 🎉
Here's a video from August that I found inspiring. Quote:
"Fighting for rights that you don't use or may not understand is about fighting for rights generally.
...
Because rights are rights are rights are rights."

"Digital rights are founded on human rights, which exist to uphold human dignity. Human rights have been created in legal, philosophical and political traditions from around the world to protect people from the abuse of power, usually state power. Their modern expression is the product of this wider international development through organisations such as the United Nations, not a tradition belonging to Western Europe alone."
