The most disturbing government abuses of data aren't necessarily the data they're *deleting* but the data they're *collecting.*
The Trump administration is compiling lists of dissidents, immigrants, people with disabilities, Jews.

just gonna throw out a quick reminder that in America police kill a yearly average of 3 civilians per day, routinely in situations very similar to these ICE killings, and decades of explicit support for police impunity by US politicians is why ICE feels theyre able to get away with this right now
Our government is murdering the citizens of this country. They are doing it without any checks on their violence

There should be a one-month moratorium on new work. Just give everyone the month of February to do the things they are already doing. Nothing new. No additional projects. No new initiatives. No requests. Any email asking someone to do something is automatically rejected and replaced with a cat gif.

The system is not broken and in need of fixing.
The system is working exactly as intended, and must be dismantled.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social come to Gorton and Denton my people yearn for freedom
@zackpolanski.bsky.social should stand in the Gorton & Denton by-election - especially if Labour seem determined to put up some no-mark briefcase homunculus (my money's on Praful Nargand). Greens are the only party who can stop Reform - but it'll require big moves, and fast.

Thinking about @zoebread.bsky.social's investigations into fines in Manchester and how pulling on a small thread exposed extensive corruption around planning permission, contract bidding and a total unwillingness of anyone to do anything to fix the deliberate misleading of members of the public.

This is what epistemic vandalism looks like. Not just erasure, but insisting on a standard of communication that is by default dehumanizing, degrading and degendering, laundered as neutral language on pseudoscientific grounds.
Encoding bias into how we are even referred to.

The BBC claims to have “research” that supports its decision to use abusive transphobic terms for trans women.
But it will not share that “research”.
At the most basic level research is not research if it is not published.
It is just a lie. The BBC is lying.

People already working hard to prove how perfect Alex Pretti was. To show he didn't "deserve" to be killed. But it's a trap folks. You're only feeding into a dynamic where people who are considered lesser get no protection. You don't have to be an Alex Pretti to deserve to live.
