#BreonnaTaylor died weeks before the #Minneapolis police killing of #GeorgeFloyd. The deaths helped ignite nationwide protests seeking greater police #accountability over the use of #ExcessiveForce against #Black people.
Dhillon’s memo says the #DOJ *respects* the jury’s verdict & that the conviction means Hankison will probably never be able to serve as a police officer or own a firearm. [unless of course #Trump pardons him]
I think some of the money of the 4 trillions dollars, used to create zerodays by the bucket, could be assigned to a special fund for cybersec/support teams around.
@w7voa „Trump doesn’t want people to know“ – I doubt he cares what people know if there's no proof to hold him and his cronies accountable.
#Accountability is his cryptonite.
@Nonilex Or use some of Russia’s +$300B assets in US banks to pay for the Ukrainian weapons and rebuilding. Shouldn’t be up to everyone else to pay for Putin’s destruction. #accountability

“#Opinion is the lowest form of human #knowledge. It requires no #accountability, no #understanding. The highest form of knowledge is #empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another’s world. It requires profound purpose larger than the self.” #Plato in ‘Phaedrus’

And you can see the video:
@mrbadger42 almost as if facists fear #accountability and #consequences.
Owning up to your fuck-ups is called being a man.
Blaming everyone else for your fuck-ups is called being a Trump.

In a nation where 66 millionaires paid zero tax, the real scandal isn't just their avoidance, it's the system that enables it. The laws and loopholes that protect the wealthy while everyday Australians foot the bill must be challenged.
While everyday citizens work hard to keep our nation moving, the rich exploit legal grey areas, benefiting from perks like negative gearing and franking credits. When the rules favour the wealthy over the public interest, it's a direct attack on fairness.
These investment incentives, originally meant to stimulate growth, have morphed into tools that deepen the gap between the haves and have-nots. Our society deserves a tax system that funds essential services without rewarding greed.
The rising wealth gap is no accident—it's engineered by policies that let millionaires dodge their fair share. It’s time to reimagine a system where the affluent contribute their due to support our schools, hospitals, and infrastructure.

Selfishness.
Lack of accountability.
Cowardice.
Moral rot.

This alliance—described by #Mumford, #Wittfogel, #Groslier, and #Balazs—goes back to Pharaonic Egypt: the age of “#mastery over nature,” which dehumanized societies for the benefit of a #technoBureaucraticElite (#Césaire) and fundamentally altered the #accountability between #chiefs and #society (#Clastres).

“Why? Because there’s no accountability. There’s been hundreds of Palestinians killed in the last month, but no Israeli soldiers are being held to account, no trial is happening in Israel, and there frankly won’t be.
“Israel investigates itself, and easily finds itself innocent,
“This is what worries me, that what’s happening in Gaza is a model that other countries will follow in the months and years ahead.”

This article introduces a formal hypothesis: that ethical judgment, modeled as a syntactic node [E], can be erased entirely through a single rule—δ:[E] → ∅—without violating generative validity. The analysis reframes alignment, audit, and accountability as problems of grammar, not semantics.

From Proto-Accumulation to Centralization: Technique, Power, and the Inversion of Accountability

Another is the Legal Action Network, a legal aid group which supports local efforts to bring cases against Russian suspects of #WarCrimes in #Ukraine, the sources said.
#State Dept bureaus that would like to preserve any war crimes & #accountability programs should send their justifications by close of business day on July 11, said an internal State Dept email seen by Reuters.
