Poland accused of brutality as Belarus border crackdown escalates – POLITICO byteseu.com/839789/ #Asylum #Belarus #Borders #DonaldTusk #Migration #NGOs #Poland #Refugees #Rights #Russia #Security #UrsulaVonDerLeyen #visas

Bytes Europe · Poland accused of brutality as Belarus border crackdown escalates – POLITICO“Pushbacks at the Poland-Belarus border are generalized and systemic,” said Egala Advocacy Lead Aleksandra Gulińska. “We continuously come across people in the forest who have been forcibly returned to Belarus by Polish authorities.” Despite such allegations, the European Commission in December allocated €52 million to bolster surveillance and infrastructure along Poland’s eastern border. In announcing the decision, Commission President Ursula von der Leyen noted that Poland and other border states are on the front lines of “hybrid threats” emanating from Belarus and Russia. Belarus has played a central role in steering migrants toward the European Union, allegedly to destabilize the

"In the #tech bro world #ElonMusk comes from, the definition of "freedom" is that rich people get to treat everyone else however they like, without that pesky #government coming in to protect people's #safety, autonomy or civil #rights.

Text from article(edited for length): By design, the details of how "freedom cities" would be established are laden with legalese... In practice, the plan is straightforward. Advocates want the federal government to set aside land to build cities exempt from federal and state laws. Instead, the cities would function as mini-dictatorships, where the CEO of each town runs everything, and the people who live and work there are subject to the boss's whims. It would be like being an employee of a controlling company, except you don't clock out at the end of the day or have a life — or rights — outside of what the boss allows you. "These are going to be cities without democracy," journalist Gil Duran told Wired. He's spent years documenting how the Silicon Valley elite — along with politicians like Vice President JD Vance — have pushed the idea that democracy should be ended and replaced with governments run by all-powerful businessmen. "These are going to be cities where the owners of the city, the corporations, the billionaires have all the power and everyone else has no power." In the tech bro world Elon Musk comes from, the definition of "freedom" is that rich people get to treat everyone else however they like, without that pesky government coming in to protect people's safety, autonomy or civil rights. As Duran explained in his newsletter, "These cities will be controlled entirely by tech billionaires and corporations, operating outside of U.S. laws."

It's nearly time to declare the #death of #USA #democracy

While #Trump was democratically elected, the Trump & #Musk duo have so far:

- Obfuscated what they're doing
- Systematically been #dismantling independent #agencies
- Repeatedly ignored a #judge & rule of #law
- Stacked courts in their favor
- Purged #army & federal agencies like #FBI
- Trampled on citizens's #rights, including #humanrights

Etcetera, etc.

Last chance to fight..

Democratia sepulta, tyrannis exorta.

🧵 Thread about rights.
4/n

The Voice of America (VOA) was established in 1942 during World War II to provide accurate news and counter Nazi propaganda. It has since evolved into a major international broadcaster, delivering news and cultural programming in nearly 50 languages, funded by the U.S. government through the U.S. Agency for Global Media.

President Trump appointed Kari Lake as a special adviser to the U.S. Agency for Global Media.

Let's talk about press freedom.

This current government has been limiting the free press in varying ways.

First, it selects which outlets can have access to the Executive branch.
Second, it selects which outlets can travel with the President.
Third, it cancels mainstream media subscriptions.
Fourth, it fires Voice of America reporters for "bias".

Let's talk more about Voice of America in the next post.

The Trump administration has been attacking some of our rights. Recall them.

1st Amendment enumerates them:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."

#Europe must suspend #Hungarian voting #rights as soon as possible. The #EU and the whole #freeWorld is now facing a time full of #difficulties and threats both from the outside (#Russia, #China, #USA) and inside (#Fidesz, #AfD, #Konfederacja and more). Due to that fact Europe must be #united like never before. We must speak with one voice. We must consolidate our efforts. We must create a #EuropeanArmy. We must #federaliseEurope, because there is no place for small countries in the new reality.

"Concerned at the UK Government’s intentions to review the #HumanRights framework and #JudicialReview we have come together to state:

While every system could be improved, and protecting #rights and #freedoms for all is a balancing act, our #HumanRightsAct is a proportionate and well-drafted protection for the fundamental #liberties and #responsibilities of everyone in this country.

The Act guarantees the rights to #FreeSpeech and expression, to life, to #liberty, to security, to privacy, to assembly, and to #FreedomOfReligion or belief. It prohibits torture and guarantees fair trials and the #RuleOfLaw.

Judicial review is an indispensable mechanism for individuals to assert those rights and freedoms against the power of the state." humanrightsact.org.uk/
