In the past week, has any law enforcement agency announced any reform at all to curtail racial bias and wanton violence by its personnel?
I find Tara Reade's accusations against Joe Biden highly credible and think that the Democratic Party is in serious trouble if he is their nominee: https://www.businessinsider.com/former-neighbor-corroborates-joe-bidens-accuser-2020-4

I'm not happy with how the Wil Wheaton situation was resolved. An admin was overwhelmed with frivolous reports about him and felt forced to exile him. I've said before that I think it sets a dangerous precedent on how a large group of people can mobilize to drive anyone off the fediverse. Mob rule is universally dangerous: Mods and admins must examine evidence and decide based on wrongdoing and danger, and not on how many times someone was reported.

Today I used Edward Snowden et al.'s Haven app to turn my old Android phone into a securely-reporting home monitoring device. 🙂 Photo and audio captures are sent to my new phone via Signal. Haven can also create a Tor hidden service through which you can privately access its activity log. You can learn more about Haven here: guardianproject.github.io/haven/ https://mastodon.social/media/DiAddrCqLn2IKDwh3Pk https://mastodon.social/media/qIOuvBjR7N8ccGKLzmQ

Here's the Debian Project's statement about the arrest of Dmitry Bogatov, a Debian Maintainer who worked in the Debian Haskell group and currently maintains several packages for command line and system tools. He was arrested by Russian authorities, and Debian has removed his keys from their servers in case they're compromised. https://www.debian.org/News/2017/20170417
