The floodgates are open for #corporations to push forward with deep-sea mining projects. The potential for widespread environmental destruction is overwhelming, and it’s happening now.

Support policies and organizations pushing for tighter international regulations on deep-sea mining.

Photo of a high-tech machine plowing the ground of the ocean The US is not a member of the United Nations' International Seabed Authority (ISA), the global body that regulates deep-sea mining in international waters. Companies typically cannot mine the seabed beyond national jurisdictions without ISA approval. But here's the key: TMC is trying to bypass this system by applying for permits under an old US mining law, even though the seabed they want to mine is far outside US territory.

Text from article(edited for length): By design, the details of how "freedom cities" would be established are laden with legalese... In practice, the plan is straightforward. Advocates want the federal government to set aside land to build cities exempt from federal and state laws. Instead, the cities would function as mini-dictatorships, where the CEO of each town runs everything, and the people who live and work there are subject to the boss's whims. It would be like being an employee of a controlling company, except you don't clock out at the end of the day or have a life — or rights — outside of what the boss allows you. "These are going to be cities without democracy," journalist Gil Duran told Wired. He's spent years documenting how the Silicon Valley elite — along with politicians like Vice President JD Vance — have pushed the idea that democracy should be ended and replaced with governments run by all-powerful businessmen. "These are going to be cities where the owners of the city, the corporations, the billionaires have all the power and everyone else has no power." In the tech bro world Elon Musk comes from, the definition of "freedom" is that rich people get to treat everyone else however they like, without that pesky government coming in to protect people's safety, autonomy or civil rights. As Duran explained in his newsletter, "These cities will be controlled entirely by tech billionaires and corporations, operating outside of U.S. laws."

Failing to use power to protect and defend the Constitution from someone who intends from day one to eviscerate it IS an abuse of power. #drumph

Failing to withhold support from a foreign government which continually flouts international law to kill those under their power is also an abuse of power. #israel

Continuing to take money from and allowing others to take money from those who are pushing those with power to serve them rather than the source of Constitutional power, the people, is also an abuse of power. #oligarchs #billionaires #corporations

"Our country faces an incoming tsunami of bigotry, hatred, and discrimination. It targets Muslims, Arabs, Jews, Black people, the LGBTQ+ community, and many others. And it always pretends to be something other than what it is. These forces are fueled not only by their proponents, but equally by the collaboration and silence of the spineless."

"It’s clear as day that corporations, the wealthy, and our institutions are unwilling to exercise even the slightest resistance to Trump this time around. They are anointing him our Pharoah for life in exchange for clemency and higher profits."

~ Wajahat Ali

So much for "working-class" "rage" based in "economic anxiety" as the force driving the Trump machine."

ABC News bent the knee to Donald Trump’s vindictive lawsuit and not only compromised their journalistic integrity but also paved the way for future prosecutions and bullying against the rest of us.

"We are beginning to see this all over the American political-economic system — giant corporations and hugely wealthy people going out of their way to appease King Trump even in advance of his coronation. They are paying him off to maintain or enlarge their profits."

~ Robert Reich

Funny, isn't it, how the "working class" and its "economic anxiety" suddenly exits the state, no?

Like #Tobacco companies, #plastics firms have been lying to the public about their products.

In plastics case it has been the viability of #recycling that has been the subject of deceit by major #corporations.

Given that plastics are related to #fossilfuels, this may come as little surprise given the mendacity & #politics of distraction conducted in the #energy sector.

Its now pretty clear that we've had the knowledge to address our #climatecrisis but its been hidden!
