#SCOTUS’ 6 conservative justices have so far been receptive to Trump’s claims of #PresidentialPower. Among other things, they have allowed the admin to withhold funds appropriated by #Congress, kick #transgender troops out of the #military & pursue aggressive #immigration-related policies—but all on a “temporary”, “emergency” basis.
The #tariffs case is the first time the justices have weighed the underlying legal merits of a key admin priority in Trump’s 2nd term.
Other such cases are on the horizon. Next month, #SCOTUS will consider #Trump’s efforts to seize control of #independent agencies. And in January, the justices will weigh his attempt to remove a member of the #FederalReserve Board. The admin has also asked them to consider the legality of the president’s executive order ending #BirthrightCitizenship.

In the statement, Mr. Greenfield said he could no longer “in good conscience” remain at the company he helped start in 1978.
Mr. Greenfield said that the “independence to pursue our values” that had been guaranteed for Ben & Jerry’s when it merged with Unilever in 2000 had been lost. “Ben & Jerry’s has been silenced, sidelined for fear of upsetting those in power,” he added.
Under the acquisition deal, #Unilever agreed to let #BenAndJerrys maintain an #independent board to oversee the brand, allowing Ben & Jerry’s to place “guardrails” around its social #activism & giving its founders continued control of the company.
For over 20 years, the company was able to speak out on issues it cared about, Mr. Greenfield wrote. But, he added, “It’s profoundly disappointing to come to the conclusion that that #independence, the very basis of our sale to Unilever, is gone.”

A federal court ruled Tues that #FederalReserve Governor #LisaCook can remain in her position while she fights Trump’s efforts to fire her.
The ruling, which will be appealed, is a blow to the #Trump admin’s efforts to assert more #control over the traditionally #independent#Fed, which sets interest rates to achieve its congressionally mandated goals of stable #prices & maximum #employment. #Congress has also sought to insulate the Fed from #politics.

I spend my days imagining a world with a fair media and working with others to make that happen. And so, I've made it to the #fediverse !
I'm Liz, (aka Otter) with a quick #introduction
Here for the #MediaRevolution - departure from #bigtech and champion #independent #media (or is that #indymedia -?)
Other things about me? I write poetry to stay sane. I'm not sure if it's any good. I swear a bit.
Is there anyone out there?
Will my words reach far? #UK and beyond? 🤔

Hi there!
It's Bandcamp Friday, which means any and all purchases you make there will go to the artists! Spotify can't fucking do that, huh?
Anyway I've got not one but two projects on Bandcamp that are worth your listen
One is my own soundtrack and ambient music found at https://incrediblealibi.bandcamp.com/ where my music can be groovy or spacey or just thematic music you wanna listen / meditate / vacuum / smoke an ounce to. My favorites are "Justice Served" and "Home in Body"
The other, believe it or not, is Emma Accelerator, that industrial/electronic band featuring me, and RubixCubix from TransPanic. Our EP "Collider" is out and it is excellent. I like "Blocklist". Rubix likes "Moment Mori". Listen here: https://emmaaccelerator.bandcamp.com/
I'd like to make more music and eventually, start touring again! Maybe even get a studio! Please enjoy the music and thank you for your ears and support! #BandcampFriday #Bandcamp #FairMusicFriday #Music #bands #ambient #soundtrack #Industrial #electronic #groove #Portland #portlandOregon #Inide #Independent #independentmusic #DIY #songwriter #SingerSongwriter #Collider

#Lula granted his first interview to The NYT in 13 years on Tuesday, in part because he wanted to speak to the American people about his frustration with #Trump [we totally get it].
Trump has said that, starting on Friday, he plans to impose 50% #tariffs on Brazilian goods, in large part because Brazilian authorities have charged former President Jair #Bolsonaro with trying to hold on to #power after losing the 2022 election. [inspired by Trump 2020]
#Trump has called the case a “witch hunt” & wants it dropped. #Lula said that was not up for negotiation. “Maybe he doesn’t know that here in #Brazil, the #judiciary is #independent,” he said.
In the interview, Lula said that the American president is infringing on Brazil’s #sovereignty.

Tech is full of “nontraditional paths.” That’s what makes it strong. Don’t let gatekeepers tell you otherwise.
