When automated decision-making (algorithm) is in charge to ration care it could suggest forced euthanasia

Euthanasia Program and Aktion T4, The goal of the Nazi Euthanasia Program was to kill people with mental and physical disabilities. >>

The medical examiner in El Paso, Texas, has ruled that Geraldo Lunas Campos's death was, in fact, a homicide. Lunas Campos died Jan. 3 at the Camp East Montana site at Fort Bliss in El Paso. He's the one who ICE claimed was trying to commit suicide, so the staff at the facility restrained and ultimately killed him to stop him from killing himself. So even if he did want to commit suicide, that would only mean that he died anyway, but with more pain, less agency, and less dignity.

I'm curious what the consequences will be for the medical examiner, but regardless, I do know that there's no way this administration is going to take action to stop people from dying at disproportionate rates at Camp East Montana unless they're somehow forced to. Maybe the courts can do that, but it's just as likely that they can't or, if they can, that it won't be until after the camp has claimed even more lives.

This essay calls "for a radical shift in language from narratives that obscure violence to those affirming Palestinian presence, history, and sovereignty."

A truth-telling exhibition
Blak In-Justice: Incarceration and Resilience

"Our artwork and culture is somehow revered on the international stage and high enough for an exchange at that level, but yet, we're the most incarcerated people on the planet.”

"Since the 1991 Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody, Indigenous incarceration rates have more than doubled, and deaths in custody have continued to rise."

"It's a huge stain on this nation...White Australia's support is crucial."
