European Values : It has been reported that medical institutions in Latvia are now required to check the residency status of potential patients before appointments can be scheduled to seek medical assistance.
This order disproportionately effects the Russian population within Latvia, many of whom are elderly and still without a renewed permit. If their permit is invalid, or has been canceled, they must either stop seeking appointments with health professionals, or pay a fine of 50 euros (the cost of a week's groceries in places like Riga).
Although the Latvian government has stated that in the events where urgent medical attention is necessary, they will offer assistance regardless, this is another step in a very wrong direction for Russo-Latvian relations and does not even account for those who are mentally and physically terminally ill.

US government sues SpaceX, claims hiring discrimination against asylees
"The US government asserted the company, which Elon Musk[22] founded and has owned, incorrectly stated it could not hire anybody not a US citizen or permanent resident under US export law[23]. The government said that discouraged asylees from seeking jobs there. The government said SpaceX did not "fairly" consider these applications in relation to jobs including those for which advanced degrees were necessary, as well as welders and cooks."

Les gens du voyage chassés des aires d’accueil durant l’été.
Au prétexte de travaux rarement réalisés, les gestionnaires des espaces destinés aux voyageurs les ferment pendant l’été. Les familles ont été relogées dans des conditions indignes ou contraintes au stationnement illégal.
Les expulsions sont légalement possibles, au regard du statut des aires d’accueil considérées comme des zones de stationnement et pas d’habitation. Mais la conséquence est l’expulsion de familles les plus précaires, qui se retrouvent sans solution.
Ces fermetures surviennent alors que de nombreuses communes ne respectent déjà pas leurs obligations légales en matière d’accueil des gens du voyage.

Hate Speech from Modi Supporters Belies His Claims of Indian Democracy During US Visit
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent visit to the United States included yoga at the United Nations, an address to the U.S. Congress that promised strides in the bilateral partnership, and a lavish state dinner at the White House with 400 guests. President Joe Biden spoke of the “unlimited potential” of ties between India and the United States.

For many, the #shooting of the teen at a traffic stop, the third such fatal police shooting in 2023, confirms what they already knew — that they are victims of institutional #racism and systemic #discrimination, especially by police.
Ethnographic, statistical analysis of #USA population extrapolated to university campus ethnographic composition if 75% of all Individuals with an #IQ ≥ 100 from each people-proup attended university, plus suggested education planning.
There is no shame in not attending #university. There is no #shame in working a trade or a regular job. Having a degree doesn't grant anybody inherent superiority over anybody else or bestow upon anybody a better mind than anybody else.

You think the internet is a clown show now? You ain’t seen nothing yet…
The Guardian
Social media platforms are laying off their ‘trust and safety’ teams. Brace yourself for a new wave of unfettered misinformation and abuse. (...)
[W]e may have passed the point where tech platforms stopped caring about moderating what happens on their platforms. From now on, (almost) anything goes.

If that’s true, then we have reached the most pivotal moment in the evolution of the tech industry since 1996. (...) In 26 words, the clause guaranteed immunity for online computer services with respect to third-party content generated by its users. It basically meant that if you ran an online service on which people could post whatever they liked, you bore no legal liability for any of the bad stuff that could happen as a result of those publications.
On the basis of that keep-out-of-jail card, corporations such as Google, Meta and Twitter prospered mightily for years. (...)
But moderation is difficult and often traumatising work. And, given the scale of the problem, keeping social media clean is an impossible, sisyphean task. (...) AI that can outwit the ingenuity of the bad actors who lurk in the depths of the internet has yet to be invented.
And, more significantly perhaps, times have suddenly become harder for tech companies. The big ones are still very profitable, but that’s partly because they been shedding jobs at a phenomenal rate. And many of those who have been made redundant worked in areas such as moderation, or what the industry came to call “trust and safety”. (...) After all, if there’s no legal liability for the bad stuff that gets through whatever filters there are, why keep these worthy custodians on board?
Which is why democracies will eventually have to contemplate what was hitherto unthinkable: rethink section 230 and its overseas replications and make platforms legally liable for the harms that they enable. (...)
