and @abbyhiggins here details the corporate capture of the auditing industry that supposedly exists to root out labor abuses, including "the rise of a parallel cottage industry that advises factories on gaming the audit system". theguardian.com/global-develop…
in another, @acharyapramod and @katiemcque identify 4 practices by these corporations: Big recruitment fees Deceiving workers about the identity of their employer Confiscating passports and other identity documents Limiting employees’ freedom to quit theguardian.com/business/2023/…
"Hamas dissected a pregnant woman's body," but it's actually a report of the Sabra and Shatila massacre where Israeli soldiers did that to a Palestinian woman. "Hamas keeps babies in cages," but the images show Palestinian babies caged by the Israeli military. What a circus.

Israel continues its bombardment of Gaza for a fifth day and calls up reservists as it pledges to launch a ground invasion. 🔴 Follow our LIVE coverage: aje.io/fjpo6m
"In the last few months alone, striking or threatening to strike has led to a string of labor deals where workers have pushed for and won higher pay. With each successful outcome, others are more likely" everyone on their side understands how this works cnbc.com/2023/10/09/fro…

Dear journalists covering Gaza, The Israeli military has a history of intentionally spreading misinformation to journalists as a war strategy. Be very very careful reporting Israeli military sources w/out independent confirmation or w/out understanding the possible motives ⤵️
🧵More on the Israeli disinformation campaign: The Israeli army has now said it has no information to confirm that “Hamas beheaded babies”. These baseless claims, which seem to have originated from the army itself, have been repeated by US officials & the likes of @CNN /1
the Biden administration will try to offer this as an alternative. we must demand a ceasefire. once these people leave their homes - they won't be able to come back. what will the west's plan be for the annexation of further territory by Israel?

Millions go to Israel to kill civilians and we can’t seem to understand how we are our own thread by not taking climate change and our earth seriously. Walking trough thick air all day every day 🥺😞
i understand, intellectually, that we just have way quicker access to more and more visceral kinds of information about things being fucked up across the planet than we did decades ago. still, though
@OlufemiOTaiwo @meier_kreis surprisingly, that sounds right lmfao
Update: @OkoyeMaduka 🧤 #Soarsupereagles #LetsDoitAgain
"Hamas dissected a pregnant woman's body," but it's actually a report of the Sabra and Shatila massacre where Israeli soldiers did that to a Palestinian woman. "Hamas keeps babies in cages," but the images show Palestinian babies caged by the Israeli military. What a circus.
A pregnant woman in Southern Israel was found by Hamas terrorists. They dissected her body. Her stomach was cut open and they took the fetus out with the umbilical cord. And let the unborn child die slowly out of his mother’s womb. This is what inhuman savages Hamas do to people.
Unbelievably sick and twisted to repackage an atrocity and turn the initial victims into the perpetrating monsters.
And finally, I have to say that we need people to stay in the room. If some people leave, fine, but for those willing to stay and struggle, STAY AND STRUGGLE!
I took so much away from that gathering. One is that we need more gatherings and I am excited to help create them. Another is that people genuinely are having a hard time finding news sources to trust- I know some people working on this, too
There was no blacklisting nonsense, no "you support slaughter," or "you don't care about Jewish people." There were moments of intense disagreement and curiosity. Monologues, book readings, tears. Preachers, organizers, journalists, residents, so many kinds of people spoke
Yesterday, busboys + poets hosted a dialogue about Israel and Gaza. Several important, beautiful things happened
The crowd seemed to mostly consist of progressive white Jews who were anti-occupation. the rest were a mix of anti-occupation Black, Indigenous, and Arab people, some curious people of all backgrounds, and some pro-Israel white Jews
What I absolutely loved was accountability in the room, that unlike being online, you couldn't just say something inflammatory or wrong and disappear. You also couldn't simply say that something was disrespectful because you disagreed with it!
The organizer said peace essentially requires us to discuss politics & invited the audience member to speak. Then the event host & other people in the room invited the audience member to stay, listen, & contribute, even when it was hard. She stayed until the end. Everyone stayed
At one point, while a Jewish organizer spoke against US funding to the Israel, a few other Jews voiced disapproval from the audience. One got up to leave. The organizer stopped talking & asked what was wrong. The audience member said she wanted to talk peace, not politics.
@lastpositivist Yes but also “these are the bad guys, anything you do to the bad guys is OK” and “I’m on these guys’ side, anything they do is OK” are much simpler and perhaps more common justifications
@lastpositivist some hear "violent resistance is always justified" some hear "violent resistance is usually justified" some hear "violent resistance is justified as a last resort" it's to the advantage of political movements to equivocate like this, to draw in multiple group without committing
@lastpositivist @OlufemiOTaiwo Violent resistance is a situationally useful tactic if it can reduce a high violence status quo to a lower violence status quo.
@lastpositivist Sounds like a typical quantificational ambiguity. The generic "violent resistance is justified" can be read as "*some* violent resistance is justified" or as "*all* violent resistance is justified". Seems pretty obvious that the reasonable reading should be the existential one.
