Excellent new piece by @sarahlazare on the conflict between ISDS and national sovereignty, environmental protection, and democracy.

[Sarah Lazare @sarahlazare]

ISDS allows corporations to sue sovereign countries over environmental protections and labor laws in secretive tribunals. This mechanism is poorly understood, even as it's tremendously harmful. Here's my attempt to break it down and show the human stakes. https://t.co/AGuyiEzPb1

@MaxwellFrostFL Maxwell, I just messaged you with info on how to rent my apartment. Affordable and in a cooperative building. It would be an honor to have you in it.

Los libertarios neofascitas se niegan a reconocer la soberanía de Honduras, y acuden a "escudarse" con el CAfTA

.@councilofdc has left excluded workers out of the budget this year! There are families counting on this money to feed their children and pay their bills!

We demand that the council approve $160 million in pandemic relief for excluded workers now!

[Beth Geglia @BethG_DC]

@MurielBowser left excluded workers out of the budget 100% this year. DC’s excluded workers are demanding just a fraction of the pandemic relief that everyone else received #dontexcludeme

[Beth Geglia @BethG_DC]

@MurielBowser $160 million for excluded workers so we all can survive this crisis. Excluded workers are also essential workers. #dontexcludeme

[CM Janeese Lewis George @CMLewisGeorgeW4]

The true measure of a just recovery is whether we stick by our most vulnerable neighbors through the end of the crisis. Many excluded workers are still struggling from the devastating impact of the pandemic.

@BrianneKNadeau and I wrote in support of aiding DC's excluded workers.

The indictment of Juan Orlando Hernandez is a fitting end to years of abusing his office at the expense of the Honduran people. https://t.co/yYrMg239uv

[Beth Geglia @BethG_DC]

Thinking of all the political prisoners who were sent to jail unjustly by the Hernandez government.

#Honduras finalmente Juan Orlando Hernández JOH sale de su casa en Tegucigalpa y las autoridades de seguridad, inician con la detención. JOH será extraditado a #EEUU por narcotráfico en Honduras. 📢

[Beth Geglia @BethG_DC]

Juan Orlando Hernandez is officially captured in Honduras for extradition, promising long-awaited justice. But we must remember that U.S. foreign policy has not been on the side of democracy or accountability in Honduras for the last 12 years. Hondurans made this happen.

[Honduras Now @HondurasNow]

Thank you, Rep @IlhanMN for trying to hold the US accountable for their involvement in the Ahuas massacre in #Honduras

[Beth Geglia @BethG_DC]

U.S. officially denies Honduran ex-president Juan Orlando Hernandez visa, confirms he’s been on corruption list since July, 2021.
