The Ministry of Labor and Employment updated the Register of Employers who have subjected workers to slave-like conditions on Wednesday (Apr. 9), adding 155 new names. The latest publication now includes a total of 745 entries.

The economic activities with the highest number of included employers are cattle ranching, coffee farming, and domestic work.

Also known as the “dirty list” of slave-like labor, the register is updated every six months to ensure transparency in the efforts of labor inspectors to combat the issue. The most recent update was released in October 2024.

According to André Esposito Roston, general coordinator of the Inspection for the Eradication of Slave-like Labor and Human Trafficking, the register plays a crucial role in informing society about the identification and rescue of victims of slavery-like conditions, which unfortunately continue to persist in Brazil.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

They are targeting adults.

US people:

Create a backup plan for access to HRT. Now.

Prepare in advance, stockpile what you legally (or in minecraft) can, find diy that you trust.

They are going to take your medically required medication from you. This study is expected to start in about six months, and will likely be bullshit that only takes a couple months after that. There is still time.

However, I would predict an almost guarantee of a major federal legal restriction on adult HRT access in the 6mo-1yr from now range. I don't want any of the bullshit I got at the time of the election about "fearmongering". I stand by everything I said then.

That one trans girl that draft dodged the IOF because she was radicalized by marxist theory is a million times braver than every single Israeli

The Refuser Solidarity Network, which encourages Israelis to refuse the draft, is collecting letters to send to her while she is imprisoned. It's likely that this will not be her only stay.

I catch a glimpse of myself on the television screen on the wall that’s airing my arrival live and feel gratified that I appear almost bored. Peeta Mellark, on the other hand, has obviously been crying and interestingly enough does not seem to be trying to cover it up. I immediately wonder if this will be his strategy in the Games. To appear weak and frightened, to reassure the other tributes that he is no competition at all, and then come out fighting. - "You know what my mother said to me when she came to say good-bye, as if to cheer me up, she says maybe District Twelve will finally have a winner. Then I realized, she didn’t mean me, she meant you!” bursts out Peeta. “Oh, she meant you,” I say with a wave of dismissal. “She said, ‘She’s a survivor, that one.’ She is,” says Peeta.

If you don't support the IDF killing little kids the federal government can legally send you to a concentration camp in El Salvador for the rest of your life

Literally the kind of shit the us loves to pretend happbs in the ussr and china. Every accusation is a confession

Our local newspaper ran a story about the legendary graffiti artist who recently passed away and. Literally everything about it is fucking insane. I'm insane about it.

So this guy has been extremely active for around fifteen years, during which he spread these beautiful, high quality pieces all over the country, way over a thousand of his standard signature, and probably thousands more. He did completely batshit stuff like literally spray painting an entire train from top to bottom or leaving his signature at the top of a 600ft tall overpass and this whole time, only five people from his crew know who he really is. To everyone else it's a complete mystery.

And then he dies at the age of 35. A few weeks after his death, his crew shows up at his completely unassuming parents' doorstep, reveals who they are and asks if they can host a memorial exhibition of his art.

Turns out, this dude has been leading an insane double life. In the daytime he was a meek little office worker with a partially paralyzed arm and no social life to speak of. In the nighttime he was a fucking legend. Not only did he climb that fucking 600ft overpass, he did it WITH A PHYSICAL DISABILITY. THE MADLAD. And throughout the entire time, fifteen years, he got caught once. ONCE. HE DID ALL THAT UNNOTICED. THAT'S INSANE.

me normally: i'm not personally a huge fan of modern art

me around right wingers: I love modern art sooooo much and I think there should be litter boxes in schools also

fucking obliterated lmao

I’m still at work so I don’t have time to read the details. I’m being told he still has his federal case, as a chance to make his case.

idk. just thinking about how there was some outrage during the iraq and there were people against it in no meaningful way and countless lives were lost and now we're STILL having to put up with these shitty movies about it. i can't help but look at the current state of activism for palestine -mine included- and thinking it's so lukewarm. i feel a terrible ache at the thought that in a number of years it's all going to be just another movie for some murderers to glorify. there must be more that can be done. i hate that this happens again and again and again.

Judge Orders Columbia Student Mahmoud Khalil Can Be Deported

A judge ruled on Friday that Secretary of State Marco Rubio had met the burden of proof necessary to deport Columbia student Mahmoud Khalil, a green card holder, who the Trump administration has accused of pro-Hamas activities.

Two months after October 7, Sarah’s* eleven-year-old daughter Talia* quietly deposited the Star of David she had been given as a baby on her mother’s dressing room table. It was not a casual gesture. The previous week, she had told her mother that she was resigning as a Jew.
...
“After the big march against antisemitism in London in November 2023, I kept a big Israeli flag in our kitchen but it would regularly disappear” says Sarah “When I asked Talia if it was anything to do with her, she confessed and said she didn’t want her best friend, a non-Jewish girl and frequent visitor to our home to see it.”
...
Dalia*, an Israeli and Israel activist in London, knows all about the yelling that often accompanies in this inter-generational rift. “My daughter has screamed that I am a Nazi and I have called her a kapo which I regret but I am horrified by the anti-Israel sentiments that come out of her mouth.” Her 22-year-old daughter works in the arts and Dalia thinks this is part of the problem. “Being anti-Israel is an article of faith in her professional circles and if you are dare to stand up for Israel, you are bullied.”

'I have called my daughter a kapo because she's anti-genocide' is perhaps one of the most insane things I've read today.
