Today @SafeguardDefend latest report out, #TRAPPED, on China's changing and quickly growing use of #ExitBans. Summary below.

@SafeguardDefend With the new revised Counter Espionage Law, there are now 15 laws, and numerous regulations, that can be used to issue #ExitBans. Many of them from over the last five years. Image
@SafeguardDefend Exact numbers are hard to come by, but data that do exist points towards an eight-fold increase from 2016 to 2022, especially during XJP's second mandate period. Image

The posters of Vikramaditya Motwane's films have beautiful detailing:
1. #Trapped: The first P is in a box with the lock in its lobe because it is 'trapped.' And the letter E represents the skyscraper where Shaurya was trapped. Image
2. #Lootera: The two Os in the poster taken from Pakhi looking at Varun using two magnifying glasses. ImageImage
3. AK vs AK: The two AKs are written differently. One AK is written in text box style. The other is not boxed but the colors are reversed. Image

#OrangeTheWorld - A thread on reproductive control, coercion and entrapment 🧵

As a #trapped populations scholar, I have lately spent a lot of time thinking about reproductive #coercion, #control and #entrapment. (i)
The #familycourts appear to fail to understand, acknowledge and interrupt these dynamics of #coercivecontrol in their current system. (ii)
Many perpetrators of #coercivecontrol will already begin to put pressure on or introduce the idea of a child during the early love bombing phase. (iii)

Discussions about #FreeSpeech are misguided in the information age.

Even before our voices are drowned out by the noise on social media, or overwritten by information combatants, we lose our agency and decision autonomy to manipulative complex systems we don’t fully understand.
The whole point of the #enlightenment, the scientific revolution, our educational and #epistemic institutions was to empower individuals to find a way out of their self-imposed #immaturity, to take #agency over their lives and make informed decisions.
We need #epistemic clarity about reality, for without it, our agency will be blunted & our freedom a charade

It is public-interest education, journalism & science that truly make individuals in a #democratic society free, not the right to cast a vote or to elect a representative

As the first rate hike of this new (imho very short) rate hike cycle is getting closer, let's have a look at the performance of the #USD, #commodities and #gold before and after the first hike:
Will the #USD rally? Not necessarily..

The period prior to a US tightening shows a rally in the USD but very often weakens in the 6-month period following the first hike....
What about #commodities? Consensus would tell us that raising rates will cause commodities to sell off.

Not really. ..The first rate hike proved to be close to the bottom for the 2015 cycle, and all cycles were higher a couple of months out...

1. #WSTC6 #FishSesh Purse seine fishing is an emerging arena for seabird #bycatch. However, these are also impacting seabirds with edible #fish oil. #Soaked individuals are disrupted in waterproofing, thermal isolation, flight, and prone to #death. How does this happen? Image
2. #WSTC6 #FishSesh #Chile #shearwaters #albatrosses #gulls are affected by fish oil from the direct discharge of #wastewaters or individuals #trapped in the purse seine gear (mean N°ind./set 8.41-12.90 CI 95%, with 96.87% of all trapped soaked) Image
3. #WSTC6 #FishSesh Feathers showed disruption of micro-structures (barbules) under responding at low oil concentrations (5%). Onboard, soaked seabirds remain under this status after 24h of oil exposure when trapped in fishing gear Image
