A former #SocialSecurity executive said the plan, which was not carried out, would have used a death database to pressure #immigrants to leave the country.

Last year for Pride I wrote a series
of articles at the intersection of privacy and LGBTQ+ experiences 
🔒
Data privacy is important for everyone. But for some marginalized populations, data privacy is indispensable for social connection, access to information, and physical safety.
Here are 3 articles published with Privacy Guides last year discussing this topic from different angles:
The Importance of Data Privacy For The Queer Community
Queer Dating Apps: Beware Who You Trust With Your Intimate Data
It has never been more important to show your support for the queer community.
If you are queer yourself,
it's a personal choice, and you should never feel pressured to come out publicly, especially if it isn't safe for you.
But if you're an ally,
consider how important it is to show your support by publicly wearing rainbow or otherwise supportive accessories. Use your privilege for good
Times are hard for the community,
and hate has been on the rise in many countries. Showing your support as an ally, and showing queer people can be their true self with you, is a meaningful way to make a difference, both at the individual and societal levels.
Show your support.
The queer community needs you too 
Nevertheless, Israel will protest and be angry, as will #Trump
But I hope #Europe and its companies will do that

#Pregnant woman & son will return home to #Ghana after being detained for over a week at Dulles Airport, judge says
[Why not allow them to see the doctor they came to see?]

On Monday, Gyasi backtracked and said she did not wish to “self-deport”, according to Heilman. That day, Gyasi experienced vaginal bleeding & was again taken to a hospital, where doctors said her condition was caused by high stress, the court filing states.
A judge on Wednesday ordered federal officials to show a legal basis for Gyasi’s #detention by 9 a.m. Thursday.
#Trump #law #immigration #TheCrueltyIsThePoint #HumanRights #HumanitarianLaw #InternationalLaw
“#CBP has put Ms. Gyasi in an impossible position: either risk her own & the life of her unborn child to improve her young son’s life, or return home to ensure safe conditions for her pregnancy but unsafe conditions for her son,” Heilman said in the organization’s news release.
Tens of thousands of immigrants have abandoned #asylum claims & agreed to “voluntarily” depart the US rather than face long stints in #immigration #detention….
The #ACLU alleges that Gyasi told #CBP officers she preferred to be deported because she fears remaining in #detention could result in her losing her unborn child [pro-life admin my tuchus]. After agreeing to leave “voluntarily”, CBP officers allowed her to request additional food & let her shower for the first time since she was detained, the lawyers claim.
#Trump #law #immigration #TheCrueltyIsThePoint #HumanRights #HumanitarianLaw #InternationalLaw
“If she hadn’t answered that question honestly, she would have been well on her way to her child’s doctor’s appointment,” Heilman said.
The #State Dept last month instructed diplomatic missions to ask applicants for nonimmigrant visas if they fear returning home to their country, & to REFUSE travel documents for those who say yes. It was unclear whether that policy was related to Gyasi’s #detention.
#Trump #law #immigration #TheCrueltyIsThePoint #HumanRights #HumanitarianLaw #InternationalLaw
#US #CBP officers asked her if she feared persecution in her home country, said Eden Heilman, the legal director of the #ACLU’s Virginia branch. Gyasi answered that she did because of her son’s #disability. CBP then classified her as an #asylum applicant & moved to nullify her #tourist #visa, Heilman said.

#ICE detainees are dying by #suicide at an 'alarming' rate, AP investigation finds
Brayan Rayo Garzon was distraught. Detained by ICE, he was on his fourth day of #isolation in a Missouri jail as he battled the fevers & chills of #COVID-19.
His request for #MentalHealth treatment had been put off, records show, & staff had forbidden Rayo from making his nightly call to his mother as a precaution intended to prevent the spread of illness.

Now that the Chisinau Political Declaration has been adopted, we find ourselves at a pivotal crossroads. But do our governments truly grasp what is at stake?
In @lemondefr I restate some fundamentals: the moment demands a shift in narrative and a firm, unwavering determination on three fronts.

At #CPDP2026, sponsored by Google (Alphabet) and Microsoft, companies complicit in the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people according to the UN:
aljazeera.com/news/2025/7/1/un…
If you can’t even abide by #BDS to show solidarity with the people of Gaza are you truly an ally?
bdsmovement.net/no-tech-oppres…
If you’re anti genocide you would be boycotting Microsoft and Google and thus boycotting #CPDP2026 which is sponsored by them.
