Thugs charged for reckless endangerment

mardi 6 décembre 2022 à 10:17

Five Connecticut prison thugs face charges of reckless endangerment for transporting Richard Cox in a van without a seat belt and thus breaking his neck.

Shouldn't they be charged with gross bodily harm, too?

Mosques attacked

mardi 6 décembre 2022 à 10:17

The Hinduismists that rule India are attacking hundreds of old mosques by fabricating claims that the buildings are former Hindu temples which were seized centuries ago and converted into mosques. In most cases there is no real evidence that this ever happened. But such is the fanaticism and contempt for truth on the part of the ruling BJP and its supporters that they disregard evidence. The track record of repression and pogroms suggests they are hoping this gives them an excuse to kill some Muslims.

Historians who know about the history of these sites face threats to shut them up. The threats range from firing them to murdering them.

Biden imposes no paid sick days for railroad workers

mardi 6 décembre 2022 à 10:17

Biden joined Congress to impose on railroad workers the contract that the railroads had proposed -- with no paid sick days.

*Biden Urged to Sign Executive Order Guaranteeing Rail Workers Paid Sick Leave.*

These same railroads commit safety violations repeatedly, and get fined over and over, but they do not correct the dangers.

(satire) *Biden Signs Legislation To Avert Crisis Of Treating Rail Workers Like Humans.*

Macron business-supremacy treaties

mardi 6 décembre 2022 à 10:17

Macron threatens to invoke business-supremacy treaties to stop the US from carrying out its insufficient but helpful greenhouse gas reduction plans. Environmental activists protest this when Macron was visiting the White House.

Will French activists protest this too? I hope so?

Business-supremacy treaties are fundamentally unjust because they elevate trade over democracy. Businesses had too much power already, and these treaties gave them even more.
