Hierarchy Side of the See Saw Moves Farther Out with Miller Appointment

With the political and social side of the see saw in constant movement, the increase of mass on the equality side on the Tuesday blue wave necessitated a response from the hierarchy side of the see saw. The hierarchy builders have to move even farther from center in order to stay in the game.

The appointment of Stephen Miller is that response, highlighting the person who is maybe the most disrespected and despised man in America as Chief of the White House staff. 

Circling the wagons, and making themself an immovable target, the intention to build and maintain hierarchies is now more than ever fixed. Even their loudest noble causes will be hard to defend. 

How long until they fall off the end? They are certainly headed as strongly in that direction as ever.

Google Cuts Down 400,000 Trees for Finland Data Centers

Google has illegally cut down a about 400,000 trees near the towns of Muhos and Otanmäki in rural northern Finland for data centers. Google even took the topsoil with it. All that remains is a vast expanse of mud indented with the trail marks of machinery, puddles and mounds of earth, roots and branches. Residents say that brown water flowing off the site is going into a stream that feeds the Oulujoki River.

Typical of corporations who want to build hierarchies and the wealth they bring and what is good for them is the root of their decision making, many people in Finland are appalled by the arrogance and destruction. 

Jussi Kangasharju, head of computer science at the University of Helsinki, said about data centers, “They are international companies serving international customers. Very little corporate taxes go to Finland. Datacenters ultimately have very little benefit for others except the datacentre operator.”

When the trees were felled, the wolves who had lived there came to the village, said Anni Ranta, 53, whose family has lived there for generations. Vesa Hyyryläinen, chair of the local SLL district, said three-toed woodpeckers nesting in the forest had been pushed out.

Hundreds of Students March to Cast Votes after Republicans Remove Their Ballot Boxes

Hundreds of students at North Carolina A&T, UNC Greensboro, and Bennett College walked about 45 minutes, then waited in long lines, to cast ballots on the first day of North Carolina's early voting after Republicans took away campus ballot boxes. For hours, students could be seen marching to their new polling places. 

The GOP-led Guilford County Board of Elections voted 3-2 along party lines to deny polling places at NCA&T and UNC Greensboro, which were present at both locations for the 2024 general election.

Hierarchical Republicans will use any control tactics they can dream of in order to keep their position in their hierarchies, including, of course, trying to stop those who would oppose them at the ballot box.

The Feminist Majority Foundation Speaks Out on the Cornell Rape Case

The Feminist Majority Foundation believes that the Cornell rape case is an established system of power designed to prioritize the wants and needs of men at the expense of women’s livelihood. 

"Universities have a responsibility to investigate allegations of sexual violence and provide survivors with meaningful avenues for reporting and support. When institutions fail to do so, survivors can be left navigating both the consequences of the assault and the consequences of the institution’s response."

Concerning the current case at Cornell:

"The lawsuit and public outrage has prompted District Attorney Matthew van Houten to reopen the case. But it should not take this much pressure to secure justice. Accountability must extend beyond the individual perpetrators to the system and cultures that allow sexual violence to go unaddressed."

Human RIghts Champions Meeting in Sweden

More than 100 human rights defenders from over 50 countries are meeting in Sweden to share experiences, build networks, and strengthen their work. Defenders’ Days is an international conference for human rights defenders, providing a safe space where participants from across the globe can meet, exchange experiences, and learn from one another. 

“We are witnessing democracy and respect for human rights come under pressure in many parts of the world. At the same time, human rights defenders continue to stand up for others, often at great personal cost. For a few days, they have the opportunity to come together, build networks, and strengthen one another for the work ahead,” says Sofia Walan, Executive Director of Civil Rights Defenders.

We applaud people who risk their lives and livelihoods to break down the hierarchies of our world.
