Rättsväsendet vs. högerextremister: 0–1. När den första våldsrättegången mot Aktivklubb hålls står tingsrätten med skägget i brevlådan. De åtalades aggressiva nazikamrater tillåts att fysiskt tränga ut oss journalister ut rättssalen och offret vågar inte vittna. www.etc.se/kommentar/ja...

Skrämmande rapport från en tingsrätt där nazister i nästan total medieskugga tillåts leva rövare med rättegången. Bara Dagens ETC är på plats för att rapportera. Intresset för såväl förhandlingen som Aktivklubbs taktik bara veckor efter ministeravslöjandet borde vara högre än så här.

It is inexcusable for our political leaders to be so ignorant of—and indifferent to—the crimes to which the Israeli state has basically confessed. Although, granted, mainstream national news outlets share much of the blame

The Trumpist majority on SCOTUS, like Trump himself, is spending down a trust fund they did not create, apparently believing it refills automatically. But it doesn’t. The whole system depends on other key institutions treating their rulings as legitimate.

Why didn’t some of the Epstein survivors speak out earlier? “I thought someone was going to kill me,” one explained. As another asked, “Why did the government work so hard to protect Jeffrey Epstein and not victims like me?”

I think we have a real problem not recognizing "too good to be true" situations. Then we let these situations become entrenched. The benefits such as greater access to delivery (esp. for disabled folks) can be just as real as the harms it's creating for individual humans doing the labor.
Technology Connections (@techconnectify.bsky.social) reposted reply parent
I don't think you can deny that delivery as a service became much, much more popular when SV techbros magicked a new kind of "employment" into existence. And we all saw how quickly it went from "make extra cash on the side" to "full-time job with no benefits"

One of the consequences - intended or unwitting - is that racial hatred in the precise form "go home paki" has now de facto been legalised in this country on X in the last 24 months years, so it would be difficult for the Labour government to water down the current inaction on racial hatred too much
