A Father’s Quest for Justice Finds Resolution After 13 Years
---
Restrained by three white men for attempted shoplifting, a Black teen died from asphyxiation. His father refused to accept that no one would be held responsible. More than a decade later, his idea of justice has shifted — and may finally be achieved.

There are many graphic videos showing the actions of ICE killing a motorist in Minneapolis, MN.
It's awful, but YOU MUST GO WITNESS THIS.
We have to be witnesses. We cannot bury our faces and hide our eyes.
This is how accountability works.
If we do not bare witness and stand up, there will never be accountability.

The intensification of Russia's attacks on energy infrastructures and homes in Ukraine is causing large-scale suffering. With unprecedented loss of basic utilities, humanitarian risks are critical. A ceasefire and a human-centred peace are urgent to protect lives and dignity.

Good Idea: Political Accountability
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c1w07n8n3e7o
Welsh politicians who are caught lying could face losing their seats under new recommendations from the Senedd's Standards of Conduct Committee, which proposes strengthening the existing standards regime rather than making lying a criminal offence. The suggested changes include empowering the standards commissioner to launch investigations, requiring corrections for false statements, involving lay members in oversight, and potentially allowing voters to recall dishonest members. The aim is to rebuild public trust by toughening rules and sanctions, though the Welsh government is still considering the proposals and how best to define deliberate deception.

I feel like the general populace might not realize the importance of this idea that @pluralistic shares:
what Dan Davies calles an "accountability sink." The radiologist's job isn't really to oversee the AI's work, it's to take the blame for the AI's mistakes.
this human (sometimes only nominally) in the loop is central to law as a whole not being broken
it's also of utmost importance for weapons of war, where AI actually is having life and death impact right now, with non-hypotheticals like "how do we make sure the system doesn't kill innocents without repercussions"
because if there's no repercussions the system will end up externalizing on the way to maximizing other metrics
