The prosecutor in Memphis was elected for criminal justice reform. He decided to release the video of Tyre Nichols's killing quickly, and to charge the killers before that, so as to keep protests nonviolent. That succeeded. Here is an interview with him.

He has set an example to judge other prosecutors against.

Israel revokes citizenship for Palestinians convicted of certain crimes, making them stateless.

Some Arabs say that Israel should do the same thing to Jews who commit those crimes. I think that is backwards: it is wrong to make loss of citizenship a punishment.

The tyrant of Nicaragua has revoked the citizenship of dissidents and political opponents.

US citizens: call on the EPA to regulate neonic-coated seeds as pesticides.

Seattle (and nearby towns)' school systems asked thousands of students age 10 to 12 to fill out intimate questionnaires, collected from the students by a for-profit company.

The article disregards, of course, the injustice of leading students to run nonfree software. The author is not aware of that underlying issue which affects all school computing. See https://gnu.org/education/.

The US government criterion for whether anonymized data that is "identifiable" is too lax. Even if a "a reasonable person in the school community" could not determine who a record is about, very likely Google or Palantir could.

There is another side to this issue. Students entered information about important personal problems such as using drugs and bullying. Offering the students no help wouldn't be a good alternative. What is the right way to offer such students help with proper confidentiality?

The "collateral murder" video is important not only because it shows US soldiers cheerfully shooting Iraqi civilians, but because it showed that the Pentagon's description of the events was false.

The US wants to imprison Julian Assange for showing the public that video along with other facts about what the US did in its wars. Please show your support for him.

Preventing Assange's extradition will not by itself eliminate the long-term danger to freedom of the press in the US. That calls for overturning or amending the Espionage Act so that it recognizes that publishing secrets about government crimes is not "spying", because the American public is not a foreign power. But defending Assange will be a step towards that vital change.
