#EastPalestine, #Ohio #NorfolkSouthern train disaster:

Dioxin levels incredibly unsafe.

I continue to question why we can only get solid reporting on Ohio from Britain.

#DemocracyNow has been reporting on #EastPalestine, Ohio, but often following The Guardian because the best information is there.

NPR unable to make links between East Palestine and #CopCity in Atlanta, so they're reporting is almost useless.

On TikTok, #NickDrom has good info.

Also to fudge the 'growth' statistics, and to add demand to keep prices up and 'opportunities' for business.

'Boat people' policy is not just aimed at xenophobes. The government actively encourages xenophobia, by word and deed. Even now, Dutton warns us that Afghan refugees could be terrorists. #MorrisonFail #DemocracyNow

Seven minutes before a judgement is handed down in a refugee case, Karen Andrews changes the status of a refugee, invalidating the judge's decision. The judge is not informed, and makes his judgement accordingly.
This is a clear case of the Government interfering in a legal case in progress. Previously, the Government has responded to losing environment cases by changing the law. What's wrong with our legal establishment?
Is it not obvious that these actions by the government attack the basis of law? Why would we bother to oppose the government, when the government can unilaterally invalidate a win for us? There is no law! #MorrisonFail #democracynow

Dear #Corporations -

While we appreciate your well intentioned gesture to cut off the flow of money to #Seditionists who tried to thwart the will of the People by refusing to certify valid vote counts, it's not enough. 1/13
Because nothing stops you from funding their challengers in the next cycle. And that does nothing to stop the corruption of our body politic.

What we need is for you to #CloseYourCheckbook and get out of the politics business. 2/13
You cannot claim to value #democracy while you devalue its purpose to represent the people. And I hate to be the one to tell you this but in spite of what @MittRomney said, corporations are not people. I'll believe they are when Texas executes one. 3/13

Human Rights Attorney @4noura to Trump: “Israel Is Not Interested in the Golan Heights for Security.

#Syria #UN #Jerusalem #Trump #IsraelGate
I wish that @4noura had not compared Russia's annexation of Crimea to would be scenario of Trump recognition of #Israel's land grab of the #GolanHeights.
1. #Crimea held a public referendum and voted by a big majority to leave #Ukraine and another referendum to join #Russia.
2. #Crimea in its entire history bf 1954 (that's when Khrushchev unilaterally decided to give Crimea to Ukraine), had never & repeat NEVER in its entire history been part of Ukraine
At the time the transfer to was largely symbolic, as both #Russia & #Ukraine were part of the USSR
