If you know of or are involved with an organization that helps people in a way that the #TrumpAdministration doesn't approve of, and the org is worried about continuing to do their work while protecting their employees, volunteers, and clients, I am happy to meet for free with the org to work through with them what their threat model is and how they can improve their security posture. They can reach out to me on Signal at jik.87. Please boostRequest for reach.

Andy Haldane (Royal Society of Arts, writing in the FT) argues the UK should reform its regulative culture to join the US & focus on forgiveness rather than permission;

so writes a man who likely has never suffered a loss due to rapacious financial service operators, had to rent from an exploitative landlord, or found himself stolen from by scammers;

its always the comfortable middle-class who champion deregulation & a shift to higher risk; strangely never the victims!

I agree with Martha Gill, it would be a really positive move if our political class actually listened to what people really think about immigration, and were not so influenced by the vocal minority who think migrants are a problem....

Actually we manage integration pretty well, we value the contribution migrants make to our society & actually would welcome more..... however, that's not the story that dominates, but it should!

One person anywhere, no matter how insignificant, who refuses to think as they have been ordered to think acts as a goad to the tiny people of authoritarian government.

The present and the future are always in YOUR hands.

China’s forced boarding schools for Tibetan children are aiming to erase their cultural identity, with children subjected to political indoctrination and separation from families. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/01/14/asia-pacific/politics/china-tibetan-culture-child/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #asiapacific #politics #china #tibet

“You don't think much of my chances, do you?"
"Not much," agreed the ex-Minister of Education. "You're a Smyrnian."
"That's no legal bar. I've had a lay education."
"Well, come now. Since when does prejudice follow any law but its own.” —Asimov, Foundation, 1952

Sadly still relevant today.

"Political and #aerospace interests were more than reluctant to embrace any changes which they viewed as a threat to their own hegemony."
The mainstream media doesn’t cover #SpaceExploration and #SpaceScience with the same questioning 🔍 rigor that they reserve for #politics. People writing about space exploration are mostly cheerleaders 🥳 for the cause, rather than independent observers keeping a watchful eye on how our national monies 💰 are spent. https://www.forbes.com/sites/brucedorminey/2022/06/23/new-book-paints-bleak-picture-of-nasas-human-spaceflight-program/
