Congo Miners Keep Dying for Minerals That Power U.S. Tech
The mine feeding smartphones, data centers, and EVs became a mass grave, as a Trumpβera minerals accord moves ahead with little oversight.
NEW: After Trump signed a Dec. agreement, the U.S. now has preferential access to Congoβs copper, cobalt, and coltan. None of it was debated in Congoβs parliament
Hundreds are dying in handβdug tunnels for the minerals used in U.S. phones and data centers

Itβs absolutely terrifying seeing what is so obvious to me <a 50 yr old white woman> are your very standard eating disorders repackaged as whatever the fuck new βhackβ to make you productive. Nope. Youβre just starving yourself.

All true but it's frustrating that we might have been spared a lot of this but for the Lancet publishing Andrew Wakefield's fraudulent study in 1998

When we say no war but class war we mean that no one in Iran is poisoning our water or stealing our wages or kidnapping our neighbors. And the people who are? They're spending our money on killing Iranians

The phrase βpreemptive strikeβ is as insulting as when we were sold βhumanitarian pausesβ in the middle of a live-streamed genocide. The powerful looking you straight in the face and telling you your common sense simply doesnβt matter.

Iβm sorry. Itβs an incredible privilege to choose where you live and not the reality for most of the world. I donβt think we - or anyone else!- should have to leave their home.

Whatβs sad is how blinkered Americans are. And I get it- itβs expensive to travel outside the US, particularly off the continent. But man, they think they have it so great and have no idea.

When I think about what awful craven people get ahead in this world itβs nice to remind myself of Stephen Colbert. Should just make that a daily affirmation or something.
