Same soup, just reheated. I post about law (not a lawyer), science (not a scientist), and assorted history (neither assorted nor a historian)

don't expect consistent moods or themes, this is a dumpzone™️

Let this sink in: under the Danish presidency, EU member states have amended rules so to be able to reject an asylum application (without examining its substance) when asylum seekers can seek protection in a non-EU country that EU countries consider safe www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/pre...
Safe third country: Council and European Parliament agree on new EU law restricting admissibility of asylum claims
The Council of the EU and the European Parliament reached a provisional agreement on a regulation regarding the application of the safe third country concept.

Hey here’s a classic tweet everyone’s seen a million times that’s vaguely relevant to your post. Figured I’d link it here as a thought terminating cliche. Let me know if you need anything else

I loved this Reframe by @juliusgoat.bsky.social

..dig into the foundations of the argument until you find the place where you can say "I do not accept that we have to sacrifice other human beings in order to achieve the good things you say you want to achieve."

It's day 4 of #COP30 & #UNtaxConvention negotiations, & so far we've missed out on $21 billion in tax to tax cheating multinational corporations & to the under-taxation of extreme wealth. The problem isn't scarcity, it's weakened tax sovereignty. #ChangeTaxNotClimate

What happened, @nytimes.com? Why not stand by your original headline? Because it’s absolutely an accurate representation of this trash conversation.

To publish this at all should be a fireable offense - but to publish it as women’s rights are being decimated is deeply immoral, bordering on evil

France continues to be one of the countries that loses out most from international tax evasion by multinationals & the wealthiest individuals. It is in the #UNtaxConvention that the desperate search for billions of euros may find its solution. @ccfd-tsolidaire.bsky.social

Thousands of workers who have fought hard to win employment tribunals are never being paid the money that rogue bosses owe them, with no consequences for bosses but a huge impact on them.

Privileged to be working on this project with the brilliant @mellino.bsky.social and team at @tbij.bsky.social
The government is currently passing through parliament the employment rights bill, which will extend worker and trade union rights

But it’s unclear how this will lead to any meaningful change for those who are still chasing what they’re owed 👇
