@NickEMoran @zenjah @jonasloeb According to the charter, your voting power does not multiply if you own more parcels. However, if you register different companies, it may multiply, though that would likely amount to voter fraud.

@zenjah @jonasloeb You know, I'm no longer so sure. I had read the charter as saying you can't get more than one vote by owning multiple corporations, but now I think it just says you can't get multiple by having multiple parcels of land. So maybe you actually can get multiple votes this way?
English
This is absurd
You mean to tell me i can create a corporation that owns one square foot of land and it gets a vote?
How many times would I get to do that?
100? 1000? 20000?

A judge has ruled that corporations can vote in some Delaware elections. Delaware Superior Court Judge Craig Karsnitz said the town of Fenwick Island was not diluting human votes by allowing companies and other legal entities that own property to cast votes in municipal elections. These "legal entities" and corporations make up about 12% of registered voters in the town. In total Delaware has far more corporations chartered in the state than residents. Judge Karsnitz rejected the constitutional arguments of the ACLU, including the claim that "entity" or corporate voting dilutes the political power of living people.

@badvibecoder @jonasloeb Where? On that 500-square-meter island?
English
@jonasloeb Yes, in theory, though that would likely be deemed fraudulent within the logic of the ruling.

In her interview to @JIIA_eng, Izumi Nakamitsu warned that recent resort to "military solutions" in response to proliferation risks, apparently referring to Iran, risks corroding the legitimacy of the non-proliferation regime.

@LegalFockery @ReichlinMelnick It is concerning that, as a paralegal selling legal courses, you appear unfamiliar with an elementary principle of constitutional law.

@ReichlinMelnick Illegals don't get due process nor do non citizens.

This should scandalize anyone who believes in DUE PROCESS. The Trump admin is rushing to suddenly reschedule huge numbers of immigration court hearings for immigrants, so they can order them deported when they miss a court hearing they never knew about.

Scoop: A new immigration court strategy is emerging: mega hearings that may result in more orders of removal if people are not there on time. Lawyers worry these target immigrants without attorneys and who may not know their hearings have been pushed up. npr.org/2026/05/26/nx-…

Reported US instrumentalization of its position as host state of the UN is in clear tension with its obligations under the UN Headquarters Agreement. Viewed cumulatively with large unpaid arrears, this may give critics stronger ground to challenge its position as UN host state.

Russia also seems to have had visa issues...Vasily Nebezya told the UNSC that Washington allegedly refused a visa to their Deputy Foreign Minister preventing him from attending today's UN Security Council meeting in New York...calling it "a snub to China"

In March, Luxembourg's state-owned bank Spuerkeess reportedly closed ICC accounts following US sanctions on ICC officials. This is indicative of how OFAC's unilateral sanctions can exert extraterritorial pressure well outside US jurisdiction.
But OFAC does not represent international consensus. US sanctions targeting ICC officials are a clear example of unilateral coercive measures being used against an institution engaged in legitimate judicial functions. Former ICC Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda is therefore right to call for an EU blocking statute. More fundamentally, the international community needs remedies that reduce dependence on unilateral sanctions regimes capable of debilitating international institutions.

UNODA High Representative @INakamitsu regrets that States parties to the NPT were unable to agree on outcome document. It remains the cornerstone of our collective security architecture. States should make use of all available avenues for dialogue to eliminate the nuclear threat.

The 2026 NPT Review Conference reportedly failed to reach consensus on a final document, despite Amb. @dohungviet being abundantly clear in his opening statement that consensus was needed to avoid the bleak consequences of the further erosion of the nuclear taboo.

The deal being floated with Iran seems straight out of the Wendy Sherman-Robert Malley-Ben Rhodes playbook: Pay the IRGC to build a WMD program and terrorize the world. Not remotely America First. It’s straightforward: Open the damned strait. Deny Iran access to money. Take out enough Iranian capability so it cannot threaten our allies in the region. Overdue. Let’s go.

A U.S. federal judge dismissed the indictment against Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was wrongly deported to El Salvador's CECOT prison after an "administrative error." Judge Crenshaw held that the prosecution bore unrebutted retaliatory taint. DOJ reportedly intends to appeal. That appeal should be abandoned unless DOJ can cure the retaliatory taint. The U.S. also likely failed to uphold its non-refoulement obligations under international law. That failure should be acknowledged as a grave mistake toward Mr. Abrego Garcia and the international legal obligations owed to him.

You are sociologically sound from a Critical Race Theory perspective; however, that position is contestable as a matter of law. This is well illustrated by the United States, particularly through SCOTUS's doctrine of colorblind constitutionalism in cases such as Regents of the University of California v. Bakke and Shaw v. Reno.

Racism requires supremacist thinking embedded in social organisation. Anyone can be racist against whites (as in believe “they are racially inferior”), but a white person cannot really experience racism, in the same way a non-white person does, in a white supremacist country

As a white person have you ever experienced racism?

SECRETARY RUBIO: I don’t think anyone is shocked to know that the United States and the President are very disappointed in NATO right now. If NATO countries like Spain are denying us the use of these bases, why are we in NATO? We need to discuss that.

Activists from the @gbsumudflotilla have consistently alleged beatings, degrading treatment, sexual assault, and torture. Such treatment is wholly intolerable. When directed at foreign activists, it also becomes a direct concern for their states.
Should these reports be confirmed, affected states must pursue an unequivocal response through consular, diplomatic, and legal avenues. Israel must confront its responsibility, provide redress, and cease such treatment immediately, not only toward international activists, but toward any human being.

@Downshandstan @ukhomeoffice On Twitter, institutions like the Home Office use social media mainly for PR. You rarely see official accounts posting full reports on social media. At least they are not blatantly posting fake data.

@ERepinskiy @ukhomeoffice I have the data, I was asking the home office to be more honest

Net migration has fallen by 82% since its peak.
Some are claiming that emigration is the reason - but it isn't.

@ukhomeoffice Do you fancy posting all of the data, rather than a party political cherry picked percentage?

@factpostnews Wasn't Maduro's arrest a law enforcement operation, supposedly requiring no congressional approval? If Trump now prefers calling it a war, perhaps Congress should reconsider the situation.

.@VictorDCha, one of the foremost Korean Peninsula experts, now argues that U.S. strategy toward DPRK's nuclear ambitions has failed, which I think is a move in the right direction.
As Moon, Kang, Choi & Yoon show in Pacific Focus (2024), the sanctions regime has not only failed to deliver denuclearisation; it also carries serious human costs by exacerbating humanitarian and human rights conditions. Therefore, future policy must be built around attainable objectives while minimizing chilling effects on civilians and humanitarian access.
