« Si l’Australie s’y engage à venir en aide aux îles Tuvalu en cas d’agression militaire, de catastrophe naturelle ou encore de pandémie, elle obtient aussi son mot à dire sur « tout partenariat, accord ou engagement » que l’archipel voudrait conclure avec d’autres Etats ou entités sur les sujets de sécurité et de défense »

Bill C-38 is being debated in the House of Commons. It’s the latest amendment to the Indian Act that attempts to remove discrimination baked into that legislation.
Bill C-38 deals with Indian status; who had it, who lost it, and who gets to have it back, and how that status will be transmitted to descendants.
Some members of Parliament say this new remedy again falls short.

🛑 STOP PETRO PETE 🛑
As Secretary of Transportation,
Pete Buttegieg could be doing the most to drop US emissions. Reducing car dependency. Building critical supply chains for food, medicine, and essential goods. Re-localizing and regionalizing the country, and setting an example for other core economic countries to follow. Policy for accessory business units and dwelling units, to transform the existing space and infrastructure we have into walkable communities where we can get everything we need and work with local purpose and agency.
Instead, Pete is signing oil terminals and creating sacrifice zones across the country. Stop PETRO PETE.
And stop the Seaport Oil Terminal and Gulflink projects — the equivalent of building 80 new coal plants right now, f*cking us all, and creating vast sacrifice zones of petrochemical pollution in the land, air, water across Texas and the Gulf Coast.

But #AntiAbortion orgs …have long claimed that few, if any, pregnancies — no matter how ill fated — require abortions. Instead, …patients w/life-threatening pregnancies should be treated w/a “separation procedure,” or… a “medically indicated maternal-fetal separation.” These nonsensical terms, which have made their way into #Republican-backed #legislation, seek to decouple #abortion from its #medical context.
With post-#Roe outrage showing no sign of waning, strategists are pushing a new lexicon on #abortion — medically, legally & culturally. Some #Republicans have abandoned the term “#ban” when speaking about #AntiAbortion #legislation, for example. Now they’re pushing for a 15-week “#standard” on abortion — which, to be clear, would be a ban. #Americans overwhelmingly oppose strict #AbortionBans, so Republicans are moving away from the term.

Of all the #legislation that crossed #Feinstein’s #Senate desk, the #bill w/which she was most associated was the #AssaultWeaponsBan that President Bill #Clinton signed into #law in 1994. The uphill effort showcased Feinstein at her most determined. When a more snr senator, Larry Craig (R-ID), questioned her experience on #gun issues, she reminded him that she had become mayor of #SanFrancisco as a result of a double assassination. “I know something about what #firearms can do,” she said.

Truly important reporting on the sick symbiosis between federal legislators and the #NationalRifleAssociation (#NRA). “Over decades, politics, money and ideology altered gun culture, reframed the Second Amendment to embrace ever broader gun rights and opened the door to relentless marketing driven by fear rather than sport.” #LawFedi #legislation #guns #GunViolence #2A https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/30/us/politics/nra-congress-firearms.html?unlocked_article_code=25fNvfhkR2OG1bc1PZiFGA4QkxNvoAeWZ_5_PEadLV_xzvZQFTgkYB00u0KAoRPw2R5qMUvqdejHCSe8O3MOAShqh-RTHZSkBdikLHqozXWJigsUye4ROKb3V75o9wyU7bzlnNET8K4qs1kKR50DXeUD13YsvHoNL3MqGN9gjwzKx1YGNpA-vqCbcrMzHlNKPBHvvfV9pczgUD0C8R5vxzFsxwdGfdCbI2WagUowp7mmgtoTO-1mGkjpvSVNTx5xVXbU8-6Znrv4EmzGqwBK6W74oAzp0nt4-qAtyHlpyQEDmkaolNWDTEkkrsczzSc4aIM-28HrkQEc_MlUQel6cRPGzw&smid=url-share

“We don’t live in a country where there is a consensus about what is harmful to children, so how could the government determine what’s appropriate for every kid?”

I also have mixed feelings about specific versions of a standard being baked into legislation.
Being clear on conformity is good, but limiting ability to evolve a standard seems wrong.
Why not "Version X.Y.Z or newer"?
Section 4 of the UK Public Charge Point regulations defines a requirement to publish "open public chargepoint data".
Except it doesn't specify that the data must use an open licence, just that it's available without the need to agree to terms and conditions.
https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukdsi/2023/9780348249873/contents
A CC-NC-ND licence meets that, which isn't open. As does "available for personal use only".
A misunderstanding in the drafting? How does that happen?
We need a name for the property-protecting canon the Supreme Court used in Sackett, the recent Clean Water Act case, and I propose calling it the Sagebrush Canon.
The name is inspired, of course, by the Sagebrush Rebellion, which admittedly more involved public lands as opposed to public regulation of private lands. But the vibes line up.

This @ProPublica interactive guide on SCOTUS is phenomenal. It’s a comprehensive guide on where each judge stands on our rights. And it’s well-designed overall.
Spoiler: the ones you think are biased, are. And, of course, Thomas is the worst.

Using terminology associated with the worldview of proprietary #software in #legislation that affects #OpenSource is at best ambiguous and at worst extends consumer regulation to the domain of research and development.

"The UK is “still in the dark ages when it comes to the positive benefits of psilocybin”, SNP MP Owen Thompson has said.
A cross-party group of politicians was told that psilocybin – the active ingredient in magic mushrooms – can be "life-saving" for people struggling with mental health problems."
There's some evidence it can help with alcohol issues too.
#GAAD, I think I might write in on this, as this could be useful in a #Accessibility context, since #RealMe hasn’t been updated to support. #AML #Legislation.

Fantastique article de Cory Doctorow sur @eff
Il explore comment faire face aux incessantes dérives des plateformes, tels les #gafam, et comment garantir un future à #internet, en replaçant le pouvoir entre les mains des utilisateurs. Bonne lecture. RP si vous voulez qte j'en fasse une traduction en français.

Bill to outlaw caste discrimination clears California Senate
The California Senate voted 34-1 Thursday in favor of legislation outlawing caste discrimination in the state. If it passes in the state Assembly and is enacted, California could become the first state in the nation to make caste bias illegal by adding it as a protected category in the state’s anti-discrimination laws.

@0xabad1dea And they forgot #SouthKorea / #ROK & #EU Regulators forcing them to stop blocking #competitiors.
But since @EU_Commission themselves are grossly violating #Procurement #legislation, they'll likely get away with that shit!
#Uganda’s #parliament #passes mostly unchanged #antiLGBTQ #bill.

Last week in #Indiana, HB1569 was signed into law. While this will likely get very little attention compared to the extraordinary onslaught against GAC in the free world, this matters enormously. Next month during #Pride, myself and two physicians will break down in the AMA Journal of Ethics the 40 year struggle for gender-affirming care in #prisons and why this law is absolutely barbaric. Hearing first-hand the stories of abuse from #trans prisoners is why #abolition is a necessary framework for defending #queer rights.
