Terrorism is so bad that human rights had to be suspended to deal with it. Now spraying paint on warplanes counts as terrorism. Our prime minister is an absolute idiot. Supposedly a human rights lawyer; utterly deranged.

If the government rescinds the citizenship of someone while they're outside of the UK, then assassinates them, they've met at least some of their human rights obligations by minimising the period of statelessness.

El Salvador arrests prominent human rights lawyer who defends deportees
Ruth Eleonora López has defended Venezuelan immigrants deported to El Salvador by US President Trump’s administration.

The number and breadth of extremely mainstream businesses who aren't afraid to participate in Rhode Island PrideFest is wonderful, given the way companies have been targeted just for acknowledging basic human rights. Nice to live here.

SIGN THE PETITION: PROTECT HUMAN RIGHTS. STOP BILL C-2
Prime Minister Mark Carney ran a campaign on leading Canada through Trump’s tariffs & attacks on sovereignty & a cost-of-living crisis. Instead, his first piece of legislation, Bill C-2, is an attack on migrants & privacy rights straight out of the Trump playbook.
Bill C-2 drastically restricts refugee protection, allows for mass deportations & gives security officials unchecked power to access everyone’s data…

[former top exec at well-known human-rights org] noted the frustration inherent in trying to draw evenhanded distinctions that were once elementary in the human-rights world. “Hamas has an obligation under international law not to use human shields and to distinguish between military and civilian targets,” this person, who asked not to be identified to avoid further alienating former colleagues, said. “But if you bring this up internally, it’s framed as a distraction, an Israeli talking poin…

The targeted killing of scientists is murder. It is unacceptable that the government in #Israel simply decides to murder people because it suits their agenda.
I fear that deep hatred will cover Israel and its people for generations, that many Israelis will have to “pay” for the human rights and war crimes of a corrupt head of government

Intelligent System of Emergent Knowledge: A Coordination Fabric for Billions of Minds
The Intelligent System of Emergent Knowledge (ISEK) establishes a decentralized network where human and artificial intelligence agents collaborate as peers, forming a self-organizing cognitive ecosystem. Built on Web3 infrastructure, ISEK combines three fundamental principles: (1) a decentralized multi-agent architecture resistant to censorship, (2) symbiotic AI-human collaboration with equal participation rights, and (3) resilient self-adaptation through distributed consensus mechanisms. The…

The UK Conservative Party is in disarray. Since 1979, they have implemented changes with unintended consequences. Water privatisation, sale of social housing, deregulation of building societies, privatisation of railways, and leaving the EU.
Now they are considering withdrawing from the European Convention on Human Rights, born out of the ashes of the 1930s and 40s in Europe and World War 2.
Which of the 16 Articles do they really believe we should not be protected by?

The depth of the damage to the USA by the Republican party and this administration is catastrophic, especially in the long term.
Hundreds or thousands of incredibly damaging actions have been taken this year with seeming dozens more every week.
It is impossible to keep track of the destruction being done to the rule of law, our economy, human rights, our health...

This puts migration to the UK into perspective.

One in 67 people worldwide remains forcibly displaced: UNHCR report
About 123 million remain forcibly displaced as a result of conflict, violence, persecution and human rights violations.

The Office of Civil Rights in the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS/OCR) used to do a fairly good job of protecting patient's sensitive information. They did this by enforcing the HIPAA security rules and penalties for non-compliance included fines, mandatory compliance programs, and CEO liability.
No longer.
HHS/OCR has now been weaponized to enforce anti-DEI initiatives of the current administration. Here is the recent headline from HHS/OCR:
