Biodiversity, community & kindness are real wealth. Economic growth is a suicide pact. Seeking humour while forever opposing disinformation, hate & ecocide.
Specific wording is vital in legal documents like laws. "Will" is a requirement. If a law says that a government "will" do a thing and they don't, they are in breach of the law and there may be consequences. If a law says that they "may," it's a voluntary suggestion without consequences. 🧵1/

The first Jim Crow was enacted under the auspices that racism is a necessity and a great and natural moral good.
The second one is being enacted under the auspices that racism doesn’t exist if you claim you don’t see it and anyone who questions your motives about that is oppressing you.

Roberts has always felt that the suggestion that white people might discriminate on the basis of race is a profound moral injustice, much greater than black people being denied the right to vote bsky.app/profile/jayw...
Everything about John Roberts's approach to the Voting Rights Act makes sense when you remember that John Roberts has has always been hostile to the Voting Rights Act, never believed it was appropriate, and has spent most of his 45-year legal career working to hollow it out.

Fascism scholars tell us pervasive inequality serves as a primary catalyst & focal point for the rise of right-wing authoritarianism. Carney policies magnifying already record inequality can only serve to increase the momentum of domestic fascist movements.

The reason Mark Carney & his government still refuse to say the word "genocide" is to avoid meeting Canada's international legal obligations as signatories to the International Convention on the Punishment and Prevention of Genocide.
His latest token gesture is about keeping Palestine defenceless.
