I have further expanded the maga-collaborators.net website.

It now tracks #colleges and #universities in addition to #law firms and other #corporations that are #collaborating, #capitulating, or #resisting the #Trump #regime.

Please share this link to help spread the word! I'll be adding to and upgrading this website regularly moving forward.

And please send tips to help fill in the gaps in the data to the email address listed on the website.

The floodgates are open for #corporations to push forward with deep-sea mining projects. The potential for widespread environmental destruction is overwhelming, and it’s happening now.

💥 What can you do?💥

Share this information, spread the word so more people understand what’s at stake!

Support policies and organizations pushing for tighter international regulations on deep-sea mining.

Photo of a high-tech machine plowing the ground of the ocean The US is not a member of the United Nations' International Seabed Authority (ISA), the global body that regulates deep-sea mining in international waters. Companies typically cannot mine the seabed beyond national jurisdictions without ISA approval. But here's the key: TMC is trying to bypass this system by applying for permits under an old US mining law, even though the seabed they want to mine is far outside US territory.

"The court’s #liberal members... were unpersuaded by Kennedy’s reasoning... criticized the #conservative majority for its dangerous nonchalance toward the corrosive effects of #corruption...

Stevens’s dissent... carries even greater weight w/the benefit of hindsight. He described Kennedy’s majority opinion as “a rejection of the common sense of the #American people, who have recognized a need to prevent #corporations from undermining self-government"

Text from article(edited for length): Musk is not technically a corporation, of course, and the legal mechanisms that he used to influence the 2024 election would come from follow-up rulings after Citizens United. But its civic reasoning still holds true for the present crisis. Stevens... warned that corporate interests did not operate like normal political actors. “Corporations, as a class, tend to be ... more directly affected by tax and appropriations measures that receive little public scrutiny; they also have vastly more money with which to try to buy access and votes,” he explained. ...“Business corporations must engage the political process in instrumental terms if they are to maximize shareholder value,” Steven wrote. “The unparalleled resources, professional lobbyists, and single-minded focus they bring to this effort, I believed, make quid pro quo corruption and its appearance inherently more likely when they (or their conduits or trade groups) spend unrestricted sums on elections.” Stevens’s dissent was praised at the time, but it carries even greater weight with the benefit of hindsight. He described Kennedy’s majority opinion as “a rejection of the common sense of the American people, who have recognized a need to prevent corporations from undermining self-government since the founding, and who have fought against the distinctive corrupting potential of corporate electioneering since the days of Theodore Roosevelt.”

"Where are the university presidents, the CEOs of pharmaceutical and technology companies, the former leaders in science and health policy, the Nobel Prize winners, and other tenured scientists whose careers were built on publicly funded research? All of them know that this is madness."

#Tesla is a perfect example of what happens when you get people who think they know #technology and #engineering but don't really care about public #safety and don't know anything about building cars safely and responsibly to build cars and sell them to people with too much money and too little intelligence and wisdom.

There is a very good reason why large #corporations tend to be very conservative. It's a learned response to having made mistakes with people's lives.

"In the #tech bro world #ElonMusk comes from, the definition of "freedom" is that rich people get to treat everyone else however they like, without that pesky #government coming in to protect people's #safety, autonomy or civil #rights. As Duran explained in his newsletter, "These cities will be controlled entirely by tech #billionaires and #corporations, operating outside of #US laws.""

Text from article(edited for length): By design, the details of how "freedom cities" would be established are laden with legalese... In practice, the plan is straightforward. Advocates want the federal government to set aside land to build cities exempt from federal and state laws. Instead, the cities would function as mini-dictatorships, where the CEO of each town runs everything, and the people who live and work there are subject to the boss's whims. It would be like being an employee of a controlling company, except you don't clock out at the end of the day or have a life — or rights — outside of what the boss allows you. "These are going to be cities without democracy," journalist Gil Duran told Wired. He's spent years documenting how the Silicon Valley elite — along with politicians like Vice President JD Vance — have pushed the idea that democracy should be ended and replaced with governments run by all-powerful businessmen. "These are going to be cities where the owners of the city, the corporations, the billionaires have all the power and everyone else has no power." In the tech bro world Elon Musk comes from, the definition of "freedom" is that rich people get to treat everyone else however they like, without that pesky government coming in to protect people's safety, autonomy or civil rights. As Duran explained in his newsletter, "These cities will be controlled entirely by tech billionaires and corporations, operating outside of U.S. laws."

Si nous n'avions pas accepté les efforts de #mondialisation par les #corporations nous aurions un secteur manufacturier beaucoup plus fort au #Canada.
Mais ils ont décidé d'envoyer ça en Asie afin de baisser les coûts de fabrication et environnementaux sans diminuer les prix des produits. Les #consommateurs paient autant, les compagnies font plus de profit et le Canada perd tout un secteur d'activité et son savoir faire.
Et là avec ce qui se passe on en aurait eu grandement besoin présentement.

With ~100k staff members before the #layoffs, the #IRS is responsible for collecting >$5T in revenue every year. Pres #Biden provided billions in new funding to the agency in hopes of modernizing its technology & beefing up its ability to go after #corporations & #wealthy people who do not pay the #taxes they owe.

#Trump is rapidly reversing those efforts, in moves that experts warn could increase the #deficit by making it easier for people to avoid paying.
