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

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