So, #Shopify CEO Tobias #Lütke, whose company commands a market capitalization near $154 billion, told his social media followers this week that a tax-tiered voting system—one that would strip #voting #rights from anyone who pays no income tax—would be a “good system.” Under this proposed system, the disenfranchised bloc would encompass all retirees living on Social Security and pension income, students, caregivers, disabled Americans, and millions of low-wage workers who owe no net federal income #tax after deductions and credits. All so billionaires could have many votes. Like lobbying doesn’t exist. Tying the right to vote to wealth or tax contribution has a name: “census suffrage,” or property-qualified voting which entrenched the political power of the already wealthy and locked out workers, women, and minorities from any say in the laws governing them. We’re not going back. Fuck all of that. #Guillotines to the front, please. https://xcancel.com/tobi/status/2081191155543278015

Replying to @pluralistic@mamot.fr
@pluralistic@mamot.fr From the article: Courts have traditionally not allowed people to waive the right to sue. But binding arbitration agreements are now routine in everyday contracts. Since these court decisions, tens of billions of dollars that used to flow to consumers, employees, and small businesses stopped. More importantly, big business simply no longer has to care about treating anyone honestly, because there is effectively no more redress through the courts. #Rights #Consumers

More good news:⚡"A federal judge in MA has refused to dismiss a lawsuit against President Donald Trump’s EO🚨targeting mail voting, setting the stage for the challenge to proceed. The decision suggests that⚡Talwani will likely find that LWV can show that,🚨if the EO isn’t blocked, they will suffer the “irreparable harm” required for a court to grant the preliminary injunction plaintiffs are seeking. #MailInVoting #Elections #Democracy #Voting #Democrats #Rights #USPol https://www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/judge-says-trumps-attack-on-mail-voting-is-unconstitutional-legal-challenge-can-continue/

Justice in Texas:⚡"In Texas, a Border Patrol agent was just INDICTED by a local grand jury for aggravated assault for running down a migrant with his car on January 31, 2025.

#Trump border czar, #TomHoman, has warned that there will be more “bloodshed” unless #Democrats “shut their mouths.” Following the back-to-back fatal #shootings [ #murders ] of a Colombian native in Maine & a Mexican man in Houston by #ICE, the Trump admin has tried to shift the blame onto Democratic leaders who have been educating #immigrants on their #rights. #law #immigration #Sturmabteilung #ExtraJudicialKillings #UseOfForce #CivilRights #MafiaState #WhiteSupremacy https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/tom-homan-ice-shootings-democrat-b3015843.html

I think the story of Utah Women's Suffrage is a story that we should never forget. Women gained the right to vote in Utah in 1870. A few years later they lost it again in 1887 until 1896. The same thing can happen to any marginalized group anywhere in the United States today. Please exercise your rights, including to vote. It really is a "use it or lose it" situation. https://utahwomenshistory.org/2018/02/receiving-losing-and-winning-back-the-vote-the-story-of-utah-womens-suffrage/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women's_suffrage_in_Utah #USPol #Vote #Utah #History #Rights

#Trump actions signal a move toward #institutionalizing people with #disabilities For decades, #disabled people have fought for their #rights to go to school & live alongside peers without disabilities — rights that some fear could be losing ground under Trump. Last month, the Dept of #Education announced it would shift oversight of #SpecialEducation to #HHS, led by #RFKJr, whose comments on disabilities such as autism are 🦇💩. #law #ableism #discrimination #eugenics https://apnews.com/article/trump-rfk-disability-autism-special-education-institutionalize-c6f064dcf4a1185d23cc5693f4b2df69

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🐝⚖️ Two towns in the Peruvian #Amazon granted native stingless #bees legal #rights – a world first for any #insect, allowing #Indigenous groups to defend them in court. The movement, led by microbiologist Rosa Vásquez Espinoza, gives legal tools to protect the #pollinators against #deforestation and #pesticides. 👉 https://news.mongabay.com/short-article/2026/06/stingless-bees-in-peru-become-the-first-insects-with-legal-rights-will-it-happen-globally/ #peru #conservation #law #rainforest #biodiversity #satipo #nauta #climate #climatechange #insects
