#Poland’s leader plans to suspend the right to #asylum as country faces pressure on #Belarus #border
Through its involvement in the lost wars in Iraq, Libya, Syria and Afghanistan, Poland has contributed significantly to the refugee flows. Refusing to accept refugees is therefore not only ethically reprehensible but also a testimony to inhumane criminal politics.

#PACE hearing on Julian #Assange's #detention and conviction and their chilling effects on human rights
watch: https://www.youtube.com/live/Mq85IZMeigc?t=746s
It is a shame for Western democracy that neither #Sweden nor the #UK have a review and a committee of inquiry into the failure of justice and US interference in the supposedly independent judiciary in the Assange case. Unfortunately, many politicians in Western Europe believe that human rights are only violated in Russia, China or Afghanistan, but not on their own doorstep. Distracted by the many crises and the rise of far-right parties, Europe is heading straight into diabolical chaos 😱

“I’ve never seen anything like this,” said Kedric Payne, senior director of #ethics at the nonpartisan Campaign #Legal Center & fmr deputy chief #counsel in the Office of Congressional Ethics, adding that the goal was probably to pressure #Deloitte into firing the worker. “You can’t imagine that if one employee out of thousands made a statement that offended an official, that then the #government #contracts would be in jeopardy.”
On Sept 27, Donald Trump Jr. exposed the employee’s name & photograph to millions of people on social media, writing, “Maybe it’s time for the #GOP to end #Deloitte’s taxpayer funded gravy train?” Others — including #JDVance’s chief spox & a #Republican senator — circulated Trump Jr.’s comments, & the *#conservative* website #Breitbart published a story naming the man & highlighting his job.
Deloitte receives ~$3B annually from federal agencies including the HHS & DOD.
#Trump allies threaten #Deloitte contracts after employee shares #JDVance chats
#Republicans backing Trump are threatening Deloitte, a consulting firm that is one of the federal #government’s largest business partners, with the loss of billions of dollars in contracts because an employee shared messages from 2020 in which JD Vance criticized the Trump’s record.

AI writing police reports can allow officers to avoid responsibility for said reports
One concern of AI is the ability to abdicate (maybe even say, 'obfuscate') responsibility
Do something bad in report?
Solution for any unethical behavior?
"blame the AI machine" 🤖
Maybe some even see this as a benefit. More immunity.

Trump's Weird Debate Strategies Come From Creationist Tactics
A dishonest creationist debating tactic shouldn’t go unchallenged in American life. Or in national politicsScientific American
#RonWyden …said the goal of the bill is to restore public confidence in a battered institution. He said he hopes to get parts of the bill passed, even if the whole package is not embraced by lawmakers.
“It’s not an atomic secret that the process for selecting justices is politicized,” #Wyden said. “You’ve got this thoroughly politicized process resulting in a #SupremeCourt that now frequently issues sweeping rulings to overturn laws & upend precedents.”
“We are proposing a way to restore some balance between the 3 branches of government,” Sen #RonWyden added.
The bill’s most significant measure would increase the number of justices from 9 to 15 over the course of 12 years. The staggered format over 2 or 3 administrations is aimed at diminishing the chance that one #political party would pack the courts with its nominees.
