AthenaThe UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women released its annual report. Of the 44 member states, 37 approved it. Six abstained: Ivory Coast, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt, Mali, Mauritania, and Saudi Arabia.
And for the first time in seventy years, one country voted against it. This has never happened before. One solitary “NO.”
Which country was it?
The United States of America.
How U.S. Tried but Failed to Wipe Out 70 Years of Global Consent on Women’s Rights
The United States set a new precedent at the United Nations annual women’s rights meeting by requesting a recorded vote on the draft conclusions. The U.S. action culminated after weekslong negotiations on this year’s theme, “Ensuring and Strengthening Access to Justice for All Women and Girls.” The US.. move—which failed drastically—reflects the continuing assault of the Trump administration on gender equality worldwide, yet resistance from across the world couldn’t be more profound.

A.R. Moxon, Verified Duck 🦆The legacy of Mueller is that if you do diligent methodical careful work on a damning report, trusting to our institutions to do the right thing, damned liars will just tell damned lies about your work and the lies will stand, because institutions won't confront power and nobody does the reading.

Indivisible ❌👑Our military is fighting a war Americans don't want, secret police are kidnapping and killing our neighbors, and the regime is working overtime to suppress the vote in the midterms.

oatmeal@ChrisMayLA6 #Palantir and #BigTech (#Google Project Nimbus, #Microsoft, #AWS …) are in the same position #IBM was in 1930s #Germany. They are the infrastructure enabling the most inconceivable crimes against humanity. If that infrastructure exists, it’s only a question of time who will use it, and when. The efficiency of the German extermination machine was, after all, made possible by IBM punch card technology.
