    Big news: France now saying that it would oppose EU-China investment agreement over Uyghur forced labor concerns.

    Yes ! L'Europe ne doit pas signer cet accord tant que ne cesse, tant que les camps de concentration restent, tant que les millions d'Ouïghours et d'autres Turciques restent enfermés, tant que l'esclavage moderne continue. Merci

    We are in the beginnings of a full-blown legislative crisis. It's two days before Christmas. Congress is home. We're in a pandemic. Unemployment insurance runs out on Saturday. Govt shuts down Monday. And the president is suggesting he'll blow up a bipartisan bill to avert this.

    A credit to Germany.

    "I wish to say something out of the bottom of my heart: Good riddance, Ambassador Heusgen”—China’s deputy UN ambo, to the departing German envoy, who had taken a lead role criticizing China on human rights, including this year’s letter signed by 39 nations

    Very interesting chart from in comparing this year's Covid relief to Marshall Plan and 1933 New Deal spending. This year's raw numbers are bigger, adjusted for inflation, but New Deal modestly bigger as share of GDP than CARES.

    This is so offensive. The US supposedly can't afford adequate assistance to help jobless families, or to make schools safe, yet zillionaires lobby successfully for billions of dollars in hidden tax breaks that are sneaked into what's supposed to be an emergency relief bill. Ugh.

    Buried in pandemic aid: $200 billion in tax cuts, largely for the richest. Latest by and me:

    “A tabulation by the Harvard Law School professor Jack Goldsmith found that of the 45 pardons or commutations Mr. Trump had granted up until Tuesday, 88 percent aided someone with a personal tie to the president or furthered his political aims.”

    1. This thread is based on recent conversations with people whose information and judgment I trust, who in turn have spoken candidly with Trump appointees still on the inside. Here's a question: Why did Trump and Barr, when they negotiated Barr's departure, settle on Dec. 23?

    This will potentially pavethe way for charges against other internet companies. This could also rattle MindGeek, which owns PornHub. But are the fines strong enough?

    The world let Saudi Arabia get away with the murder and dismemberment of my friend journalist Jamal Khashoggi. I hope we won't let Saudi Arabia get away with the torture and imprisonment of Nobel Peace Prize nominee and women's rights activist Loujain al-Hathloul.

    During Loujain’s hearing at the criminal court today, the judge gave her a secret report concluding the “investigation” regarding her torture. He asked her to give her response to the report on the same day! He then sent his final report (in which he denies torture) to the SCC

    Framing can help win support for some progressive programs. E.g. "gun safety" works better than "gun control," "building opportunity" better than "reducing inequality." And wisely argues for the unifying power of advancing "dignity":

    Here is a genuinely pro-life and pro-woman issue where both parties should work together. But Senate GOP did nothing.

    For all the GOP talk about family, it's notable that one of the Senate's failures was to pass two maternal health bills that had bipartisan support and had passed unanimously in the House. Two women a die die in childbirth in the US, and these bills would have saved some of them.

    A privilege to join the great on today's Sway podcast. And a reminder that Sway is a great podcast to subscribe to generally: 2021 will be a year for rethinking America's tech sector, and Kara is indispensable in that conversation.

    On today’s bonus episode of Sway, joins to discuss his reporting on PornHub, Mastercard, and whether companies — and employees — should tolerate technically legal but ethically murky behavior.
