Revealed: 6,500 migrant workers have died in Qatar since #WorldCup awarded
The findings expose #Qatar’s failure to protect its 2 million-strong migrant #workforce, or even #investigate the causes of the apparently high rate of #death among the largely young workers.
Every soccer association participating in this World Cup is complicit in the #crime. The Fifa officials who selected this country are now almost all in #jail or wearing shackles.

Please urge Attorney General Merrick Garland to investigate and prosecute Trump’s alleged crimes, ranging from tax fraud to inciting a deadly insurrection

"Dear friends across the U.S.,
“We have seen the danger that he continues to provoke with his language. We have seen his lack of commitment and dedication to the Constitution.”
These were the powerful words with which Congresswoman Liz Cheney condemned former President Trump -- mere moments after Republicans had removed her from her leadership post in retaliation for her bravery.
Trump is no longer President, but his dangerous stranglehold on the Republican Party remains... especially because he’s never faced the consequences of his actions. But now, wide support could convince Attorney General Merrick Garland to investigate and prosecute Trump and his associates’ alleged crimes, ranging from tax fraud to inciting a deadly insurrection!
So let’s make this call for an investigation massive -- and once 100,000 back it, Avaaz will deliver our voices straight to AG Merrick Garland.
Trump and his associates made a mockery of the Presidential office. The revelations have been chilling: from the President himself inciting an insurrection in a cowardly quest to overturn a free and fair election, to flagrant abuses of power, and reports of a shady tax history. And in his final days in office, he even embarked on an unprecedented pardoning spree favoring his friends and own interests.
The State of New York has already launched investigations into Trump’s misconduct. While that’s a good start, a thorough federal investigation would show that the rule of law is alive and well in the U.S.!
Together, we can send a deafening call to AG Merrick Garland to establish an independent task force within the Department of Justice to investigate Trump and his associates!
As we close out a four year period of divisive instability fueled from the top down, we can only start to heal through unity and accountability. Better times are ahead -- but only if we all work together to preserve American democracy in the name of democracy everywhere.
With fierce determination,
Ruth, Meetali, Nick, Christine, and the whole Avaaz team"
dont throw the baby out with the #bathwater.
i agree, there's A LOT of VERY DIRTY bathwater to be thrown out.
but dont throw the baby out with it.
get more specific, more investigative, check it out, before you throw it all out.
... i'll stop there before i attempt to over-work the analogy.
this is something i've thought of for religion for about 20 years. i used to be one of those militant atheist anti-religious sorts since early childhood, thinking the christianity i was introduced to, and forced to go to church in until 12, was a load of nonsense about a story book n a fictional character called jesus. it was not until i was challenged on it (around age 17), that i realised i was arguing from ignorance, that i did not know neither deep or wide into religion. and it seemed that's what every other militant anti-religion atheist was doing too. arguing from ignorance, armed with their cherry picked facts to present it all as bad as their worst tidbits. a little bit of information is a dangerous thing.
the analogy ("dont throw the baby out with the bathwater") springs to mind very loud again these days with all the anti-muslim and anti-semetic noise going around. there is worthyness in islam. some of it, we will do well to learn from. and no, i dont mean take it all whole, as thats just the other side of the stupidity-coin of throwing it all out whole. cant get there from absolutes. one has to delve into the nuance. one has to study and explore.
if you listened to the naysayers who seem to seek some kind of holy war / religious war, you'd think all of islam is the same, and that all who follow it are therefor in a child rape gang (skipping for a moment that there's more child rape gangs with people of their (the accuser's) religious/cultural/ethnic backgrounds, so~~). ... as if there's no virtue in islam anywhere.
same with the noise n nonsense of "anti-semitism". cant possibly think they're all like the worst characterisations, and therefor cant possibly have any virtue in the decrees to get them all, since that'd be mass punishment of the majority of innocents. even as you separate out religion, culture and ethnicity, you can see diversity in each, even in these religions that try so hard to keep their religious text unedited.
how broad must one's brush become before they will realise the folly of tarring wide? guilt by association. we're all human, so all humans must suffer punishment for the worst of us?

to paraphrase Gandhi:
