Dr. Angus Andrea Grieve-Smith

Currently taking my employer's annual training on preventing #harassment and other forms of #discrimination. Yes, it's kind of boring to go through the same videos, quizzes and interactive text displays every year. Yes, I always feel bad for James and Netta.

But it breaks my heart to read the summaries of what's protected by federal law, knowing that there are people who want the power to discriminate based on citizenship and other categories, and people who are too timid to challenge them.

Unless a specific law or government contract requires it, employers may not restrict their hiring to only U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Pregnancy +

by Statewatch.org

@UKLabour

“A proposed law in the UK would allow police decisions to be made solely by computers, with no human input. The Data Use and Access Bill would remove a safeguard in data protection law that prohibits solely automated decision-making by law enforcement agencies”

www.statewatch.orgStatewatch | UK government wants to legalise automated police decision-makingA proposed law in the UK would allow police decisions to be made solely by computers, with no human input, if approved without changes. The Data Use and Access Bill would remove a safeguard in data protection law that prohibits solely automated decision-making by law enforcement agencies. Over 30 civil liberties, human rights, and racial justice organisations and experts, including Statewatch, have written to the government to demand changes.

Brave "trans student’s arrest for violating Florida bathroom law is thought to be a first"

nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-news/t

Marcy Rheintgen, 20, faces a misdemeanor trespassing charge punishable by up to 60 days in jail.

“I wanted people to see the absurdity of this law in practice,” Rheintgen told The Associated Press. “If I’m a criminal, it’s going to be so hard for me to live a normal life, all because I washed my hands. Like, that’s so insane.”
