Brexit: What now for TTIP, CETA and UK trade?
(24.06.2016)
Brexit has created the potential greater democratic control of trade deals. And we must ensure we use that to craft a trade policy that is geared to justice for the many rather than profits for the few.
Regierung: Wer „Europa“ sagt, hat schon C.E.T.A. gesagt
(01.07.2016)
„Linke“ und „Grüne“, die für „Europa“ schon das Grundgesetz in Frage gestellt haben, werden des „Rechtspopulismus“ verdächtigt, weil sie artig darauf hinweisen, dass erst der Bundestag Ja und Amen zu Entstaatlichungsprogrammen wie C.E.T.A. sagen muss.
Das wir das noch erleben dürfen.

.@AOC proudly recalled watching her mom clean houses as a kid as she announced support for a domestic workers‘ bill of rights
One of the reasons they did that is because the children would cry, and the older kids figured out that when they cried the guards got angry. So the best thing they could do was to protect these children. It was protecting all of them.
These Children Are Israeli
The population authority plans this summer to deport dozens of female foreign workers, most of them Filipinas, along with their Israeli-born children – a total of around 100 people – even though the women came to Israel lawfully to work, and even though most of the children, who were born and raised in Israel, speak only Hebrew. The deportation is essentially a punishment for daring to give birth or be born in Israel.
Israel Begins Deporting Children of Filipino Workers
Most of the migrant workers are mothers, some of whom gave birth to children while working in Israel as social workers, taking care of the elderly and others with special needs.
However, since Israel law only gives citizenship to children born in Israel to Israeli citizens, many of the Filipino children who have been raised and feel at home in the Jewish state are illegal residents.
