False electors charged

jeudi 20 juillet 2023 à 12:47

The corrupter's slate of false electors for Michigan have been charged with eight felonies each.

He recruited them to claim, falsely, to be the official electors of the state and to assert, falsely, that the corrupter had won the Michigan election.

Fires in Greece

jeudi 20 juillet 2023 à 12:47

The heat wave in Greece has caused rapid wildfires that are almost impossible to stop.

This is similar to what is happening in many other countries. Keep in mind that five years from now it will be much worse. Ten years from now it will be much worse again, if we let the fossil fuel companies continue to increase their output.

Offshore wind: disinformation playbook

Planet roaster think tanks are tricking whale defenders into blocking renewable energy, by "teaching" them that sea-based wind turbines endanger whales. Then they lobby against building the wind turbines we urgently need.

Refugee crisis: EU-Tunisia deal

jeudi 20 juillet 2023 à 12:47

The EU agreed to pay Tunisia a billion euros to try to stop refugees from sailing to the EU. Now the dictator of Tunisia says that the deal does not include deporting anyone there other than Tunisians.

Tunisia is ruled by a president who was elected democratically, then effectively abolished the legislature and human rights. It is a variation on the usual fascist takeover.

The EU plans to set up official paths for Tunisians to request work and study visas. As for people seeking asylum — and surely under a dictator some people will need that — there may not be any way. Neither Algeria nor Libya is a safe place for them to get asylum.

Two-child benefit cap, UK

*There's no point to Labour as a party if it won't [spend state funds] to pull children out of poverty.*

I agree. The Starmerian Labour Party is a fundamentally change from the past. It somewhat resembles Tony B'liar's "New Labour", but goes further because it won't allow anyone but centrists is allowed to be a candidate.

*The party claims its demands will be met with more economic growth — an argument no different to that of the Tories. Growth without redistribution merely shovels more wealth into the bank accounts of the already well off: that is what our economic model — which Labour plans to leave untouched — achieves in spades.*

This shows how fully the Labour Party has adopted the business-prioritizing policy that Tories used to follow before they went totally nuts.
