The role of a "human in the loop" isn't to prevent errors. That human is there to be blamed for errors:

So, this article outlines what the nominee for director of #HomelandSecurity has planned for #SilencingDissent in the US...
From 2019: South Dakota Governor #KristiNoem Caves on Attempted Efforts to Silence #PipelineProtesters
ACLU, October 24, 2019
"South Dakota’s governor and attorney general today backed down from their unconstitutional attempts to silence pipeline protestors. In response to a lawsuit we filed alongside the ACLU of South Dakota and the Robins Kaplan law firm, the state has agreed to never enforce the unconstitutional provisions of several state laws that threatened activists who encourage or organize protests, particularly protests of the #KeystoneXL [#KXL] pipeline, with fines and criminal penalties of up to 25 years in prison.
"The settlement agreement reached today and now headed to the court for approval is an important victory for the right to protest. It comes soon after a federal court temporarily blocked enforcement of the pieces of the laws that infringed on First Amendment protected speech, and makes the court’s temporary block a permanent one.
"The laws include the #RiotBoostingAct, which gave the state the authority to sue individuals and #organizations for 'riot boosting,' a novel and confusing term. The court warned against the laws’ broad reach, noting that the laws could have prohibited:
- Sending a supporting email or a letter to the editor in support of a protest
- Giving a cup of coffee or thumbs up or $10 to protesters
- Holding up a sign in protest on a street corner
- Asking someone to protest"Under the First Amendment, that is impermissible.
"The court rightly recognized the stakes of this case. And it put these #AntiProtest efforts in perspective, asking 'if these riot boosting statutes were applied to the protests that took place in Birmingham, Alabama, what might be the result?' The answer: 'Dr. King and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference could have been liable under an identical riot boosting law[.]'
"Indeed, South Dakota’s unconstitutional anti-protest efforts echoed the suppression of past social movements. From the start, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem called on 'shut[ting] down' 'out-of-state people' who come into South Dakota to 'slow and stop construction' of the pipeline. Her harmful calls were reminiscent of government attempts throughout our history to delegitimize and minimize significant #SocialMovements as the work of 'outside agitators,' including Reverend #MartinLutherKingJr.
"South Dakota’s quick and costly retreat (they’ll have to compensate plaintiffs for attorney’s fees under the settlement agreement) should serve as a lesson for other legislatures considering similar efforts to silence dissent.
"In the last few years, we have witnessed a legislative trend of states seeking to criminalize protest, deter political participation, and curtail freedom of association. These bills appear to be a direct reaction from politicians and corporations to some of the most effective tactics of those speaking out today, including water protectors challenging pipeline construction, Black Lives Matter, and those calling for boycotts of Israel. These legislative moves are aimed at suppressing dissent and undercutting marginalized and over-policed groups voicing concerns that disrupt current power dynamics.
"But the First Amendment guarantees people the right to voice their opposition. This includes our clients — four organizations (the #SierraClub, #NDNCollective, #DakotaRuralAction, and the #IndigenousEnvironmentalNetwork - #IEN) and two individuals (#NickTilsen with NDN Collective and #DallasGoldtooth with Indigenous Environmental Network) — all of whom are protesting construction of the Keystone XL pipeline and encouraging others to do the same.
"Construction of the Keystone XL pipeline may be imminent. Pre-construction activities resumed this month, and a hearing on the new Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the pipeline, which will serve as the basis for approval of any future permits, is coming up next Monday.
"With the laws we challenged proclaimed unenforceable, protesters and protectors no longer have to worry about incarceration or fines as they protest against the construction. That is, at a minimum, how democracy should work."

Let's mean "Losers in the economic sense: those who have […] traded freedom for a paycheck in short. […] Losers have two ways out, which we’ll get to later: turning Sociopath or turning into bare-minimum performers. The Losers destined for cluelessness do not have a choice."

Donald Trump is behind.
He trails in the pivotal postindustrial swing states
and is treading water in the Southern and Sun Belt states
— Arizona, Georgia and Nevada
— that could help him find an alternative path to 270 electoral votes.In just a few months, Trump may join the exclusive club of🔸 two-time presidential losers.🔸
Of course, it is still too early to make any real prediction about November.
But the sharp reversal in Trump’s electoral fortunes raises an obvious question worth thinking about now:❓If Trump loses, and perhaps especially if he loses badly,
what comes next for the Republican Party?❓As striking as the relative electoral weakness of the Trump-era Republican Party
is its ♦️total inability to either govern or police the boundaries of its coalition. ♦️Trump himself has no program beyond his own prejudices and impulses.
🔹“Build the wall” and “mass deportation now”
reflect a deep-seated hostility to nonwhite immigrants that has no basis other than #rank #bigotry.🔹“Stop the steal” and Trump’s broader obsession with so-called election integrity
is nothing more than an attempt to operationalize his core belief that he #cannot actually #lose an election, or anything for that matter.🔹Fittingly, the Trump-led Republican Party declined to devise a platform for the 2020 presidential election
and produced a set of Trump-esque #slogans for its 2024 one.To the extent that there is a Republican agenda, it is a product of the hard-right #ideologues and conservative #organizations that
💥 see Trump as a willing vessel and vehicle for their own interests.💥Trump’s leadership has also occasioned the 🔸total collapse of the boundaries 🔸(such as they were)
separating the far-right #fringe of American politics from its #mainstream.The former president provides license for
— and inspiration to
— a large crop of right-wing extremists
who 🔥disdain democracy and openly fantasize about the use of violence 🔥
to eliminate their political opponents.♦️“Some folks need killing,” Mark Robinson, the Republican Party’s nominee for governor in North Carolina, declared at a church event in June.
Trump’s Republican Party is a paradigmatically “#hollow” party,
according to the argument laid out by the political scientists Daniel #Schlozman and Sam #Rosenfeld
in 👉“The Hollow Parties: The Many Pasts and Disordered Present of American Party Politics.” 👈For all its activity, a hollow party “demonstrates fundamental #incapacities in organizing democracy.”
Its zombielike commitment to tax cuts and deregulation notwithstanding,
the Republican Party from this vantage point is little more than
💥“a personal vehicle for Trump’s vendettas and fantasies.” 💥It offers nothing to the public, they observe, “besides praise for its leader.”
❓So what happens if and when that leader loses yet another national election for his party? ❓
What happens when,
❗️in the face of conditions that seem as favorable as they could be, ❗️
the Republican coalition led by Trump 🌟still falls short?🌟

A #federal #AppealsCourt has #ruled that a #KatyTexas company and #church can #deny #employment to #LGBTQ #workers without legal recourse. The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals (#5thCircuit) #overturned a #lower #court's #ruling that the company, #BraidwoodManagement, and the church, #BearCreekCommunityChurch, #violated #TitleVII of the #CivilRightsAct of 1964 by #discriminating #against LGBTQ workers.
The #court determined that the two entities are not mandated to abide by #federal #discrimination law because they are #religious #organizations. The court's opinion said that Braidwood Management follows the belief among some Christians that "marriage is between one man and one woman."
The ruling is a #setback for #LGBTQRights advocates, who had hoped that the 5th Circuit would follow the lead of the Supreme Court (#SCOTUS), which ruled in 2020 that Title VII protects LGBTQ workers from discrimination. The Supreme Court's ruling was a landmark decision, but it did not explicitly address the issue of religious exemptions.
The 5th Circuit's ruling leaves open the possibility that other religious organizations could also deny employment to LGBTQ workers without legal repercussions. This could have a significant impact on LGBTQ workers, who could be #denied jobs or #fired simply because of their #SexualOrientation or #GenderIdentity.
The ruling is also a reminder of the importance of the ongoing fight for LGBTQ equality. Despite progress in recent years, there are still many challenges that LGBTQ people face, including discrimination in the workplace. It is important to continue to fight for the rights of LGBTQ people and to ensure that they are protected from discrimination.
