Mere hours into the 601st day, another New York court ruled against my appeal for freedom — damning me to house arrest without trial indefinitely. I recently spoke with The Guardian and detailed what it is like to have my freedoms stolen away by a mega-corporation for holding them accountable for deliberately dumping cancer-causing waste on indigenous ancestral lands. I cannot even leave my apartment to get the mail in the lobby of my building. I cannot pick up medication when my kid is sick. I cannot even lay in bed next to my wife without the government on my ankle monitoring my every movement. But I know that this fight is way bigger than myself.

Bolsonaro says it’s his ‘dream’ to open up the Amazon rainforest for mining, but for the Indigenous People who call it their home, it’s a nightmare. They will disappear if their land is stolen.

Manfred Hiebel: … I'm talking about the list of search terms with which German companies and politicians have been spied on. If it is only a matter of uncovering illegal arms exports, wiretapping by the Federal Intelligence Service would be completely sufficient, and you don't have to call in the NSA for this. In order to get this list out, she must first obtain approval from her “allies”, said Merkel. This shows that all of Kohl's gossip about democracy in peace and freedom is pure dumbing down of the people. Anyone who believes in Germany today that they live in a free and independent constitutional state is fooling themselves or allowing themselves to be fooled into something that has nothing to do with everyday reality. …

Instead of using trillions of euros the European Central Bank allocated for Covid response to help transform Europe into a sustainable and green economy, the head of the German Central Bank wants to keep sinking money into big polluters like Shell and Total. It is a feature of the bond purchase program that it supports existing players over new ones.
