Skyrocketing income inequality over the last few decades has turned the industries tasked with accountability—politics, law, and media, to name a few—into pay-to-play fields that require expensive credentials and inherited wealth to enter. This has changed who can participate and whom these industries seek to protect.

One idea for countering a media disinformation ecosystem that half the country can't break out of: a requirement for voting is to listen to a 1-hour pitch from each political party, near the voting site. Voting would take longer, but voters would invariably make decisions that align more with what they say they want. There should be enough overhead to make a person think. Whether we can recover enough of a democracy to pass such a change in law is the question.

There must be “due reckoning” for horrific violations, possible atrocity crimes in #Gaza – UN #Human#Rights Chief

“...Our monitoring indicates that this unprecedented level of killing, and injury of civilians is a direct consequence of the failure to comply with fundamental principles of international #humanitarian #law – namely the principles of distinction, proportionality and precautions in attack...”

#israel #palestine : #war / #westbank / #assassination / #deportation / #law / #clanliability / #constitution

»It remains unclear whether the law would be applied in the occupied West Bank, where Israel already demolishes the homes of attackers' families as part of its long-standing policy.

Oded Feller, a legal adviser for the Association for Civil Rights in Israel, (…) stressed that the Interior Ministry has no legal mechanism to deport (…).“

A Pregnant Teenager Died After Trying to Get Care in Three Visits to #Texas Emergency Rooms
==

It took three ER visits and 20 hours before a #hospital admitted Nevaeh Crain, 18, as her condition worsened.

Doctors insisted on two ultrasounds to confirm “fetal demise.”

She’s one of at least two Texas women who died under the state’s #abortion ban.

In her resignation letter, Strand wrote of a peaceful town disrupted because “some individuals believe that it is OK to treat #CommunityService members with #disrespect, #slander, #libel, #stalking & many other forms of #harassment towards people who are just trying to make a difference for the good of the community we live in.”

Angela Benander, a spox for the #Michigan SoS’s office, said, “It speaks to the efforts that we are not going to tolerate any attempts to circumvent the #law.”

Election ofcls across the country are worried about effectively an insider threat—that elected ofcls steeped in #Trump #disinformation could disrupt the process.

Already in MI, the state has taken over supervision of elections in Shelby Twp, where a #Republican clerk was charged w/a #felony for his role in the 2020 #FakeElectors scheme.


In #Michigan, hand-counting is against the #law…. Experts believe voting machines are more reliable & faster than hand counts. Jonathan Brater, MI’s elections dir, said the clerk refused an order from the MI secretary of state to follow proper procedures.

Brater ordered Schierkolk & his deputy hand their #election duties to other ofcls “in order to ensure public trust & confidence in the integrity & security of elections” & their access to the state voter-roll system was shut off.


Schierkolk is tied to a network of *#activists* [#criminals] who have pushed several baseless #ConspiracyTheories about corruption in elections &, at times, advocated the hand-counting of ballots, apparently believing that electronic voting machines are insecure. #Trump & his allies spread the idea widely after his defeat in 2020, claiming, falsely, that the machines had changed the votes to #Biden.

2 local #election officials in #Michigan have been removed from overseeing the vote, in a forceful move to keep #Trump-aligned ofcls from trying to subvert election rules.

Tom Schierkolk, the clerk of Rock River Township in MI’s UP, & his deputy, David LaMere, were removed after telling state ofcls that they intended to hand count ballots before sending their tally on for the county canvass….

‘The Dutch Data Protection Authority (AP) is imposing a fine of €10 million on Uber. The fine is in response to the company's failure to disclose the full details of its retention periods for data concerning European drivers, or to name the non-European countries in which it shares this data.
