“We will fine them. We will fine them with heavy fines.”
David (DJ) Speers: “Heavy fines?”
Albanese: “Heavy fines to make sure that they know that if they’re ripping people off, then they are in the gun to pay a heavy penalty for it.” — #AnthonyAlbanese

Today I go to make a new repository in the corporate #github in case my computer explodes and apparently since the last time I did this, I no longer have permission to create repositories within my organization or even under my own user account.
Not sure how or why these changes happen, but it makes me wonder how anyone can expect efficiency when one's whole day could turn into phone calls with random #IT people.

Why does every Saturday feel like a rerun of last week?
This is (part of) why I am, and intend to continue to be, a financial supporter of @greenpeace . I'm not claiming the organisation is perfect – none is – but we need groups with the courage, resources and skills to stand up to the onrushing #Corporate #Fascist wave.

Statement of #IndependentTrialMonitors
On Verdict in #GreenpeaceUSA Trial:
"It is our collective assessment that the jury verdict against Greenpeace in #NorthDakota reflects a deeply flawed trial with multiple due process violations that denied Greenpeace the ability to present anything close to a full defense. Attorneys on our team monitored every minute of the proceedings and found multiple violations of #DueProcess that denied Greenpeace its right to a fair trial. The problems included a jury that was patently biased in favor of #EnergyTransfer, with many members working in the #FossilFuel industry; a judge who lacked the requisite experience and legal knowledge to rule properly on the complex #FirstAmendment and other evidentiary issues at the center of the case; and incendiary and prejudicial statements by lawyers for Energy Transfer that tried to criminalize Greenpeace and by extension the entire #ClimateMovement by attacking constitutionally-protected advocacy.
"Our fear that this was an illegitimate #corporate-funded #SLAPP harassment case was confirmed by our observations.
"We will be issuing a full report documenting these violations and larger flaws in the case in the coming weeks.
"While the trial court verdict is in, the case is far from over. Greenpeace has a right to appeal to the North Dakota Supreme Court and ultimately to the #USSupremeCourt. Our committee will continue its work monitoring this critically important case that raises troubling concerns for all advocates in the country."
