@AyannaPressley: “It’s time to establish a legal right to a job for all people in America. For years, we have legislated hate, harm & injustice ... It’s long past time to pursue bold, intentional policies that affirm equity & recognize the dignity & humanity of all people.”
@AyannaPressley: "A federal job guarantee is an important investment in the American people, our communities, & an equitable economy that works for all. It affirms the right to meaningful, dignified work & a living wage."
@AyannaPressley: "I’m proud to build upon & honor the legacy & work of generations of Black women Civil Rights leaders by introducing this historic resolution.”
@AyannaPressley joined @Nina_EBanks (President, National Economic Association), @DarrickHamilton, Director, @TheNewSchool’s Institute on Race & Political Economy) & Angela Glover Blackwell (Founder, @policylink) to discuss the resolution.

A federal #JobGuarantee would provide every person with an enforceable legal right to a quality job. Extending beyond a project based approach, the Resolution calls for the creation of federal jobs that meet long-neglected community, physical and human infrastructure needs.
Funded by the federal government and implemented locally in partnership with communities, the federal #JobGuarantee program would provide public jobs for all adults seeking employment.
By ensuring everyone has access to a good job w dignified wages, safe working conditions, health care & other benefits—including full worker rights & union protections—a #JobGuarantee would address the current jobs crisis while laying the foundation for an equitable recovery.
"Good, family-supporting jobs are the cornerstone of thriving communities...A #JobGuarantee & more access to good union jobs will help...us to join together to build a balanced, inclusive economy that works for all of us," said @MaryKayHenry, International President, @SEIU
"[E]very person deserves...a meaningful job, healthcare & a living wage...This Resolution is not only a step towards a brighter future for young ppl, working ppl &...ppl of color, but is a vital leap towards...a Green New Deal.”

- @VarshPrakash, Executive Director, @sunrisemvmt
“Our siblings in the Black Freedom Movement had the foresight to champion a Federal #JobGuarantee...This moment calls for nothing but bold, transformative policies. A #JobGuarantee is...our only path to full employment.”

- Michael Mcafee, President, @policylink
In July, @RepPressley and UCLA historian @DavidpStein co-authored an op-ed...in which they called on the Federal Reserve to take specific steps to address Black unemployment, including by not standing in the way of a federal #JobGuarantee.

1 year ago in a @FSCDems hearing, @RepPressley questioned @federalreserve Chair Jerome Powell on the...history of the [Fed]’s dual mandate. Powell conceded, for the first time in...history & on the Congressional record, that the Fed alone cannot get the US to full employment.

I really think people have a very short-sighted view of the city and its key role in decades to come for the economy of 🇨🇳. Every so often, people have a handful of misconceptions about the city's future because they lack of basics in strategy 👇


https://t.co/6wuRzXGkYZ The West propaganda seems to make people think we are cracking down on 🇭🇰 people because we no longer need them and we will inevitably suppress their rights. Every now and then, I talk with people in 🇭🇰 who think the Great Firewall will extend to 🇭🇰

🇺🇸-led liberal order is very strong to come across 🇭🇰 people and make them believe what they want. Brainwashed people don't think rationally and fall for the lies and propaganda. This guy is one among so many others I met in 🇭🇰 who told me the same thing, that the city is doomed

They couldn't be more ignorant ! Unfortunately they will end up leaving the city and missing out on incredible opportunities... But they don't know that nothing will eventually change after 2047 ? 🙃Let me explain you why

I bet even after 2047 🇭🇰 will still enjoy a high degree of autonomy and freedoms that its mainland counterpart can’t enjoy : an independent legal and financial system, English as one of the official language, an access to the West internet, its traditional medias, etc.

Recently, the @CNIL issued a decision regarding the GDPR compliance of an unknown French adtech company named "Vectaury". It may seem like small fry, but the decision has potential wide-ranging impacts for Google, the IAB framework, and today's adtech. It's thread time! 👇

It's all in French, but if you're up for it you can read:
• Their blog post (lacks the most interesting details):

• Their high-level legal decision: https://t.co/hwpiEvjodt
• The full notification: https://t.co/QQB7rfynha

I've read it so you needn't!

Vectaury was collecting geolocation data in order to create profiles (eg. people who often go to this or that type of shop) so as to power ad targeting. They operate through embedded SDKs and ad bidding, making them invisible to users.

The @CNIL notes that profiling based off of geolocation presents particular risks since it reveals people's movements and habits. As risky, the processing requires consent — this will be the heart of their assessment.

Interesting point: they justify the decision in part because of how many people COULD be targeted in this way (rather than how many have — though they note that too). Because it's on a phone, and many have phones, it is considered large-scale processing no matter what.
