A new report by the @CostsOfWar project at Brown University says at least 37 MILLION PEOPLE have been displaced by the wars America has launched since September 11, 2001 »

fans.fm/p/glLRqng
That means the US has created more refugees in the global war on terrorism than have been made by any other conflict with the exception of World War II »
The authors of the report say their estimate is conservative, and the real number of refugees created by America’s wars over the past twenty years could be as high as 59 million » fans.fm/p/glLRqng

We have a new justice on the Supreme Court.

After a blitzkreig confirmation process and a hasty swearing-in ceremony, Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump successfully installed Amy Coney Barrett on the Supreme Court on Monday night.
The Senate voted 52-48. Every Democrat, Independent, + Susan Collins voted against Barrett, but it did nothing to McConnell’s ironclad majority.

After the vote, Trump put together a slapdash swearing-in ceremony on the South Lawn to get Barrett on the bench as fast as possible.
It’s hard to fully grasp what this news means.

Some of the first cases Barrett sees will be related to elections in North Carolina and Pennsylvania, and she could also be part of a ruling if election results next week get challenged.

There is a growing safety crisis at @Amazon.

A new report based on internal company documents show the company has effectively covered up a major safety crisis at its warehouses.

The report adds that things have gotten much worse since Amazon brought in robots.
The documents consist of weekly data from 2016 through 2019 from more than one hundred and fifty Amazon warehouses.

They show that the company has profoundly misled lawmakers and the public about its mounting injury crisis.
Amazon often points to the tens of millions of dollars it has invested to enhance safety practices.

Yet Amazon’s injury rates have gone up each of the past four years.

A new report shows that Donald Trump used Facebook for a massive voter deterrence operation in 2016, targeting up to 3.5 million black voters in swing states with negative ads about Hillary Clinton in an attempt to suppress votes and “cultivate hopelessness" » »
The report by UK's Channel 4 is based on a massive data leak of Trump campaign advertising data that shows the campaign compiled files on 198 million US voters and then used an algorithm to sort them into categories based on their economic and domestic statuses and other data »
One of these categories was called “deterrence,” which effectively meant voters who could be persuaded to stay at home if hit with the right ads. 3.5 million of those voters were black, and many of them lived in swing states like Florida »

Palm oil is in just about everything these days.

A major investigation finds it’s not just bad for the environment – it’s produced in conditions tantamount to slavery »»
A new @AP investigation offers the most comprehensive look yet at labor abuses in the palm oil industry.

The AP interviewed more than 130 workers from palm companies who labored on plantations in Malaysia and Indonesia.

Those two countries produce most of the world’s palm oil
Workers spoke of child labor, outright slavery and rape. Fishermen who escaped years of slavery on boats described coming ashore in search of help, but instead being trafficked onto plantations -- sometimes with police involvement » »

There is still no justice for Breonna Taylor.

Protests that have been ongoing in Louisville picked up again after yesterday’s announcement that no officers would be charged directly with killing Taylor, despite a preemptive declaration of emergency by the mayor.
Online video showed white men carrying guns and wearing military-style uniforms patrolling the streets.

The vigilantes moved apparently unimpeded by police.

Many businesses and government offices were boarded up and a twenty-five block perimeter of the city was closed to traffic.

Before night fell, police deployed a chemical agent into a crowd of protesters and made several arrests.

The National Guard was also deployed.

Two former intelligence officials have made some pretty stunning allegations: that Federal agents sent to quell protests in Portland Oregon also engaged in a classified cell phone cloning operation that aimed to lift information off of protesters phones.

#LEFTISBEST
According to @thenation, the DHS has not come clean about this.

Details of the operation are still classified, but @kenklippenstein reports that it included interceptions of protesters phone calls by either the DHS or other federal agencies involved, like the DOJ.
While this would be a shocking weaponization of unwarranted surveillance against citizens exercising first amendment rights, it’s not exactly hard to believe.
