#Humanists International to Launch 2023 #Freedom of #Thought Report
The #FreedomofThought Report is a unique, annual, worldwide survey of #discrimination and #persecution against #humanists, #atheists, and the #nonreligious.
Now in its 12th edition, the Report serves as a vital tool for local and international #activists to lobby #governments for change, providing the evidence needed to make reliable and #authoritative claims.
Sick of hearing our current #governments blame almost everything on past governments. They've had years to change old #StatusQuo but didn't do it. We are living under freaking #neoliberalism in #BC & #Canada now. I fucking hate it.
These failures in government can keep blaming past governments or step the heck up harder & not act like past govt leaders here(and elsewhere!) or learn to #STFU if they're treating #citizens like we don't matter - just like past govts.
LYING #SHITHEADS.
Do better!

It's not the only issue though. #Electricity for them isn't green & batteries are #toxic & exploiting miners in #DevelopingCoutries. Are we being pushed out of the #climate frying pan & into a #pollution fire? There are solutions but #Governments need to fund them not #oil & #gas production.

"Several #governments are lobbying the #UN for a binding resolution restricting the use of AI killer #drones, but the #USA is among a group of nations — which also includes #Russia, #Australia, and #Israel — who are resisting any such move, favoring a non-binding #resolution instead."

#VanPD are #corrupt as heck & so is their police board. Cops should never be allowed to investigate themselves. Longtime #ConflictOfInterest that has gone unaddressed & unchanged by our #governments on every level - starting at #municipal levels.
I suggest you all look into how much your #municipality spends on funding cops vs community outreach orgs/programs. I suggest you pushback on city councils who are always asking for more police funding on our tax dollars. Demand more accountability.

How criminalisation is being used to silence #ClimateActivists across the world
Guardian investigation finds growing number of countries passing #AntiProtest laws as part of playbook of tactics to intimidate people peacefully raising the alarm
“Criminalisation is the most common tactic used against #HumanRights defenders, because it’s so easy and has such a big impact.”
Nina Lakhani, Damien Gayle and Matthew Taylor
Thu 12 Oct 2023 07.00 EDT
"As #wildfires and #ExtremeTmperatures rage across the planet, sea temperature records tumble and polar glaciers disappear, the scale and speed of the climate crisis is impossible to ignore. Scientific experts are unanimous that there needs to be an urgent clampdown on fossil fuel production, a major boost in renewable energy and support for communities to rapidly move towards a fairer, healthier and sustainable low-carbon future.
"Many governments, however, seem to have different priorities. According to climate experts, senior figures at the UN and grassroots advocates contacted by the Guardian, some political leaders and law enforcement agencies around the world are instead launching a fierce crackdown on people trying to peacefully raise the alarm.
"'These defenders are basically trying to #SaveThePlanet, and in doing so save #humanity,' said Mary Lawlor, the UN special rapporteur on #HumanRights defenders. 'These are people we should be protecting, but are seen by #governments and #corporations as a threat to be neutralised. In the end it’s about power and #economics.'
"#Climate and #EnvironmentalJustice groups report a significant increase in draconian, and often arbitrary, charges for peaceful protesters as part of what they claim is a playbook of tactics to vilify, discredit, intimidate and silence activists.
"The Guardian has also found striking similarities in the way governments from #Canada and the #US to #Guatemala and #Chile, from #India and #Tanzania to the #UK, #Europe and #Australia, are cracking down on activists trying to protect the planet.
"The legal contexts vary, but the charges – such as #subversion, illicit association, terrorism and tax evasion – are often vague and time-consuming to disprove, while a growing number of countries, including the US and UK, have passed controversial anti-protest laws ostensibly intended to protect national security or so-called critical infrastructure such as #FossilFuel #pipelines.
"The systematic criminalisation of environmental defenders is not new. Natural resources on #Indigenous land have long been exploited, driving big profits for some but also fuelling violence and inequality.
"Experts say the Marlin mine in Guatemala was one of the earliest documented cases of a transnational #corporation – and its state allies – weaponising the legal system against environmental defenders. Since then, the Inter American Commission on Human Rights has repeatedly condemned what it describes as the alarming rise in the misuse of criminal justice systems against environmental, land and other human rights defenders across #LatinAmerica.
"'Criminalising defenders encourages collective stigma and sends off an intimidating message,' the IACHR said last year.
"According to Lawlor, this criminalisation of environmental #protestors has since become a #global phenomenon, and is now the most common tactic used to silence and discredit defenders.
"'At its core it’s about maintaining the #PowerStructures in place. This is true regardless of whether it’s a #dictatorship, #democracy or a corrupt #NarcoState, and regardless of the state’s professed commitment to human rights, protecting the environment and combating #ClimateChange.' she said.
"'Smearing defenders as lawbreakers or anti-development distracts from the cause and changes the narrative … What’s clear is that states learn from each other.'
"#ClimateActivism is well and truly back. Paolo Gerbaudo, an academic at King’s College London who studies social movements, said that before the 2008 financial crash, the climate emergency felt like 'the challenge of our time'. But it 'largely slipped off the social and political agenda” as activists such as #Occupy turned their attention to opposing #austerity policies and pushing for global economic reforms.
"As scientific warnings grew ever more dire during the 2010s, there was a deepening feeling that traditional environmental campaigning was failing, and that politicians were not delivering – with potentially catastrophic consequences.
"It was into this context that more #DirectAction, and more #radical environmental protest groups emerged. Over the past five years, the UK has been not only at the forefront of these new forms of non-violent activism, but also novel means of silencing it."

🇱🇷 WHO ARE WE??. A LITTLE BIT ABOUT #US.
🐧 BACK IN 1999-2000 we were running 8 #Linux BOXES (Co-located) all load balanced & fully Scalable & Burstable.
📡 Basically invented a #K8 systems way better than the k8's they got running toda purring away LIKE little KITTENS (10k simultaneous hits per second minimum) in 2000.
💰 Making in #excess of 180k per month #NET! #behind_the_scenes #server_side;) (OVERHEAD 2k)
💪 Invented #RTB (Real Time Bidding) and #HFT (High Frequency Trading) both stolen by #BIG_TECH and the #Governments.. IN 2007.
🛰️ ..only reason no-one heard about us is because we #flew_under the #radar;)
THE WAY WE LIKE IT;)
..making SO MUCH MONEY we didn't want to attract attention..
#HELLO.. ? Make sense now?
The #IRS knows WHO WE ARE. Wrote checks to the IRS to the tune of 100k PLUS year after year..
While all others #EVADED EVEN PAYING THEIR #Fair_Share of TAXES LIKE #GOOGLE AND #APPLE!
Aka #Double_Dutch_Irish_Sandwich
Coincidentally as soon as we started making #BIG_MONEY was #audited twice??
#Beat the #IRS #Twice
2 Audits??
IRS Statutes are so full of holes it look-like Swiss Cheese??
So many #back_doors bc of all the #modifications they made to #plug flawed #logic (#False_Positives & #Negatives) to make THEM/THEY more money…
Coincidentally both RTB (Real Time Bidding) and #HFT (High Frequency Trading) software was stolen in 2007 -- near the exact same time of IRS audits??
#IRS_COMPLICIT? If you start making any serious money here in the USA --software gets stolen?? FOR DOING THE RIGHT THING AND PAYING TAXES???
while all others are GUILTY OF #TAX_EVASION! IN THE #BOGUS NAME OF #TAX_EVASION!
They are Tricky DICKS arnt they? (cunning and baffling)
Then they call it the AMERICAN DREAM?? UGH!
Oh almost forgot..
While the greedy #MEAT_EATERS sat on hands for last two decades STEALING OTHERS INVENTIONS AND CODE --WE HAVE BEEN BUSY #BEES;)

Any rational agent grabs as much #power as it’s officially conferred on it, and then more. An extra inch, or an extra mile: as much as it can get away with.
Sovereign states display that behaviour to the extreme: they are massive in size, extremely hard to scrutinise, and have the best mechanisms for #secrecy built in by design (eg, for the sake of national security).
Think what you want about the likes of #Snowden, #Assange and #Manning — they have repeatedly demonstrated that #governments routinely abuse their powers.
To argue that #ChatControl isn’t dangerous because it’s just the provision for automatic scanning under special circumstances, for specific cases — and not an absolute mandate for massive scanning of everyone, all the time — is either naive or disingenuous.
The #law must follow the principle of least privilege.
Our #governments cannot think in terms of #liberty, because the only liberty they know, is the opportunity to become rich.

#Gentrification is #SocialCleansing, a term I learned from this video, and an accurate description.
Social cleansing is insidious, and as evil as #EthnicCleansing.
It's not only allowed, but openly encouraged because it generates profit for #corporations and #governments.
The "#developer" and government in this case could have easily included a space for this group on this spot, but the point is that only certain kinds of people are allowed there; the rest, banished.
#RishiSunak’s #antitrans #remarks are the #lastgasp of a #dying #government.
If this sounds at all hyperbolic, #antitrans #bigotry really has reached the point in the UK that, as a #trans #person, there is #norespite from the #knowledge that the #governments doesn’t believe you’re #valid enough as a #person to afford #basic #respect.

Just five western oil firms, including BP and Shell, set to spend $15 million every hour until 2030 producing oil and gas
Just five of the world’s biggest fossil fuel firms, BP, Chevron, Exxon, Shell and TotalEnergies, are set to spend $15 million every single hour between now and 2030 producing more oil and gas. According to new analysis of Rystad Energy data by Global Witness, the five companies are forecast to spend a staggering $3.1 trillion by 2050, on both existing and new oil and gas extraction. This is one third more than the companies spent over the past 25 years ($2 trillion).

there's no one directly leads to the other, but when #Minneapolis spent massive effort to displace #homeless people with the stated objective of FORCING us into unsafe congregate shelters, back when #governments were briefly pretending to take #COVID seriously... looking back it's still hard to say if that was a sign of not caring about us or not caring about anyone's safety from #COVID19.
But it's a sure sign that a harm coming to all will be inflicted on #unhoused people first.

Again, I state, the greatest #technological risk we currently face isn't from #LLM-driven #AI, but from rapid and mostly unchecked advances in #genomic and #biological (#biomedical) #sciences.
Once we can literally create #human life in a #lab (it will definitely happen, soon), imagine what people like #PeterThiel and #governments like the #UnitedStates will try to achieve...

The It Takes Roots coalition held a press conference Sept. 19 in New York, one day ahead of the #UnitedNations ’ #Climate Ambition #Summit
The coalition’s goal was to draw attention to the “false solutions” being put forward by #governments and #corporations in the climate change mitigation battle such as #carboncapture , carbon markets and offsets, #nature -based solutions, #nuclear power, #biomass #energy, #biofuels, and #hydrogen energy.

"Achieving climate equity in Canada: Mobilizing the whole of government" is a new report from #Deloitte Canada about how #marginalized and low-income peoples suffer the impacts of #climate #catastrophes more acutely than others, and how #environmental #racism has prolonged climate #inequities in marginalized communities.
Jason Rasevych says #Indigenous peoples can leverage the report when speaking about climate event #mitigation with #governments and #corporations.

Latest #blog post on dragnet #snooping and patching #zerodays
Just checking that we all understand this: the world isn't ruled by #governments any more, it's the #multinationals and their #oligarch owners who are grabbing everything before there's nothing left to grab, are looking to save themselves and a few loyal slaves/footsoldiers (soon to be replaced by robots, AI etc) and the rest of us are entirely dispensable.
They know the #breakdown of #civilisation is coming; they've known for #decades. Hence the #PrivateIslands #Stockades and #Bunkers
How can our communities encourage/induce #governments to use the #fediverse for routine and #emergency public #communication?

While Mr. #Musk is hailed as a genius innovator, he alone can decide to shut down #Starlink #InternetAccess 📡 for a customer or #country 🌍, and he has the ability to leverage sensitive information that the service gathers. Such concerns 😱 have been heightened because no #companies or #governments have come close to matching 📊 what he has built. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/07/28/business/starlink.html

I’m starting to think the biggest security threat coming from #climatechange is our #governments . The states are helping by making protest illegal. Time to protest.

"#Multinational corporations have grown so large as a result of #globalization that they have sufficient economic power to take over or strongly manipulate national #governments, continually attempting to take over competitors in order to become the sole controller of the #interplanetary market" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_trilogy#Corporations
> [T]he power of volunteers in free software communities, such as those working on #OSM development and #mapping, can exceed what #governments and #corporations merely pretend to provide.
Agree that #OpenStreetMaps is quite incredible, and their offline app, #OSMAnd really does feel like magic when one uses it. Its a real shame there are no ethical devices in #Australia to install OSMAnd onto.
@parismarx if #facebook wasnt blocking legit #news sources, it’d be feeding people scams, conspiracy and #misinformation. Either way, #governments, agencies and #news orgs should never rely on facebook or #Twitter to give people reliable information. #canada #wildfires
“We know that #Canada’s federal and provincial #governments continue to stumble on the #ClimateFile. Few countries are on track to meet the #EmissionsReduction commitments made in the #ParisAgreement, but Canada is the worst-performing among the #G7.
Also #Seasteading as currently implemented is either a shitty version of #Waterworld-esque #Solitary minus a #Trimaran or some #AnCap grift to dodge #Taxes.
That's why people like #PeterThiel love the idea, because it's a "#GatedCommunity" aka. #Ghetto for #rich #white #wankers!
These #Billonaires see it as their god-given right to #plunder and #pilfer the #world and not be bound by #Governments or any #SocialContract|s whatsoever.
So I'm really curious... Does anyone know any English speaking local or state governments on the #fediverse? I know @avhuffelen and #thenetherlands and #Germany have been lauded for their own Instances. Any #governments in #UK or #USA? Ping @FediFollows @Gargron ?
A very interesting listen I caught on NPR today. Available as a podcast online.
Climate One: Law and #Oil: Taking #Climate Offenders to Court
Published July 17, 2023 at 9:05 AM EDT

"The last several years have seen a big increase in the number of lawsuits focused on the #ClimateCrisis. Some lawsuits challenge #governments for their support for fossil fuels and for their failure to take #ClimateAction, while other cases target the #FossilFuel companies themselves for knowingly misleading the world about the climate disrupting impacts of burning their products. Some of these cases seek monetary damages, others seek to hold governments accountable to their emissions reduction pledges. As more of these cases get their time in court, how powerful can litigation be in forcing action around the #ClimateEmergency."

Yesterday I tried to look up the USAs new heat action plan. It is starting a lot of research & had links.(40yrs late)
I followed a link to a FEMA site. It said call your health department for the location of the nearest cool down centre.
#Governments PLEASE produce a booklet of 1 page action plans for Fire, Flood, Heatwaves (They are not just 10-2), Cyclones, Tornadoes, Volcanic Eruptions etc etc
Include unexpected events eg explosions etc. Cross reference it.
Deliver it to ALL residences.
Just found out that my government (Dutch) has its own Mastodon instance: https://social.overheid.nl/public/local
Are there more governments and/or organisations that have their own Mastodon instance?
Also the European Union: https://social.network.europa.eu/public/local 👀
#Mastodon #Fediverse #Instances #Governments #Organisations #Dutch #EU
@OutOnTheMoors What would really work though is actual public infrastructure. And I mean publicly funded instances that serve public announcements. With Meta providing a client, those would actually have a reasonable sizesd audience for #governments to jump onboard #ActivityPub.
#Local #governments and multiple agencies, i should say– #Hennepin county is standing off to the side acting as if they aren't complicit in the cruelty but their #security doesn't let people stand 2 minutes on #county #land that they have lying around by the acre.
The #Community #Planning and #Economic #Development office of #Minneapolis (CPED) is hoarding even more land, which used 100s of cops to finally displace the long-lived @nearnorth camp.
ty for your article. We Agree.
However there is the #ELEPHANT IN THE #ROOM responsible for the MAJORITY OF THE CLIMATE CHANGEs #ROOT_CAUSE.. NO ONE is talking about??
WHY DOES THE MILITARY GET A FREE PASS??
Other than the Oil DRILLERS and the OIL Refineries #WAR IS CURRENTLY OUR BIGGEST CONTRIBUTERS TO WORLDWIDE POLLUTION.
Not to mention of Plastics (refined oil btw) which is now airborne and found in baby placentas'..

THIS NATO FOOL HAS ALWAYS BEEN MORE INTERESTED IN FILLING ITS COFFERS WITH A UKRAINE/USA KLONDIKE DAY BONANZA OF OUR TAX PAYER DOLLARS THAN NOTIFYING THE GENRAL PUBLIC OF MILITARY EMMISSIONS COVER UP. NATO NEEDS TO BE DISMANTLED AND THIS LOSER NEEDS TO BE HANDED HIS WALKING PAPERS AND THEN SOME..

Can landlords increase your rent as much as they want in Georgia?
Yes. They can set your rent at whatever amount they wish. 😲 😡
"Georgia law is pretty clear. It says that local #governments here can not #regulate the amount of rent charged by a landlord.
"'There is no cap on the amount of rent increases that a #landlord can charge,' said Dr. Shelton."

Can #landlords increase your #rent as much as they want in #Georgia? What we found
@dymaxion This is the biggest #over-sell of #AI that I have seen and its real scary.
A good example of how a little information in the hands of #peopleInPower that don't have any respect for #democracy can be real #dangerous to real people around the world. We need to staff our #governments with people that understand #science.
Be strong folks of #EU, protect your privacy and security. We are counting on you.
Kangaroo #slaughter companies are finally being brought to heel for their inhumane treatment of #Australia's iconic wildlife, by American states #banning product imports. #Europe is also discussing a ban across the entire zone.
The "highly #regulated" industry finds it completely okay to take a tiny joey and #kill it by #smashing it against a truck.
Sadly, so do our #governments. All of them. In fact there are no checks and controls on #slaughterers. They work alone in the dark with no supervision ever.
#Kangaroos killed for human consumption and pet food are shot in the bush and can be #unrefrigerated from 4pm one day until 7am the next. Temperatures at night can stay at over 30 degrees Celsius.
The #shooters start their nights buying a case of beer. They drink all night and drive around paddocks, then to a processing plant, up to 150km away in our area, along highways used by #human #families.
At foot joeys that escape are left to starve to death. In pouch joeys are killed as described above.
Single #shot kills are rare. An animal that hasn't been killed by a single shot is often #butchered in the field, still alive.. The joeys can hear that happening. A single shot is what is required under the code of #practice governing their behaviour.
