In Court for People and Democracy

I just heard about this non-profit that is specifically aimed at challenging bad actors in Trump's Executive Branch (broken branch).

They do good work and have a good website. And they would be a good place to leave a donation.

Clearly the murders by ICE and other people pretending to be officers of Trump's cabinets are something the people in charge bear great responsibility for.

Somebody should be bringing charges to those people in charge!

DOGE staffer had β€˜God-level’ Social Security access, whistleblower says Members of Congress demand investigations after complaint alleges unprecedented breach of Americans’ data

"Not only has an ex-DOGE bro been accused of running around with the social security information of every American on a flash drive, he also may have the ability to edit and manipulate data at the Social Security Administration at will.”

Let that sink in...🀬

Labour's attempt to remove our right to a jury trial in thousands of cases - including protest related offences - is a serious attack on our civil liberties.

That's why the Green MPs have tabled an amendment to reject it.

The Green Party says no to Labour's toolkit for tyrants.

Iftar gatherings bring together families, friends, and communities across Canada.

Thank you to the South Nepean Muslim Community Mosque for inviting me to your Iftar last night. And to all those celebrating, Ramadan Mubarak.

Image is a screenshot of a reasoned amendment to the Courts and Tribunals Bill. It is signed by  SiΓ’n Berry, Hannah Spencer, Carla Denyer, Dr Ellie Chowns and Adrian Ramsay.

It reads: That this House declines to give a Second Reading to the Courts and Tribunals Bill because it is an inadequate and dangerous response to the challenges faced by the courts; it does not provide the correct solutions to the chronic backlog of cases in the Crown Court; it would not address the long-term underfunding that has led to the degradation of court systems, infrastructure and buildings; it would limit the crucial civil liberty and constitutional protection of trial by a jury of one’s own peers by removing defendants’ right to elect the Crown Court for all triable either-way offences; this change would cover a range of protest-related offences, and because protest rights and free speech, which act as safeguards against authoritarianism, have already been eroded by this Government and should not be limited further; jury trials build public trust and confidence in the courts and act as a space of shared civic responsibility that builds social cohesion; more effective interventions could be implemented that do not roll back fundamental rights, including expanding the use of β€˜blitz courts’, increasing the number of sitting days, removing from the system cases that are no longer in the public interest to prosecute, increasing investment in legal aid, improving court case management technology, and bringing in more efficient processes to ensure defendants are brought to court and to the dock on time; and removing rights to judgment by one’s own peers may have the unintended consequence of increasing court backlogs through a rise in appeals.

🚨We have tabled an amendment to reject the Government’s sinister attempt to remove jury trials including for many protest related offences.

Our civil liberties have already been eroded by this Govt and should not be limited any further.

Greens are standing up against Labour's toolkit for tyrants.

Mike Johnson refuses to condemn anti-Muslim comments by Republican lawmakers Andy Ogles said Muslims do not belong in the US and Randy Fine made a comparison of Muslims to dogs

#MissKittyPolitics I cannot believe I am still up. I can hardly read the monitor. I am a mess. I do not want to live in a nation where leadership can be Mike #Johnson. #Civil #War is what is left. I absolutely cannot have this anymore. Unacceptable.

Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."
