"We're being told that if we sacrifice the rights of some people, then the rest of us get to keep our rights.
We all know that's some BS."

Woke up this morning to see that Farage has decided not to attend the Count, or indeed the count today. ‘because of a credible threat against him.’
True, it is very credible that people will laugh and make fun of him. What a loser.
So it’s back to the Parlimentary standards committee, Groundhog Day - your master stroke didn’t quite work out the way you thought it would did it Niggle?

"A #Chinese #humanrights #lawyer has been arrested by #US #Immigration & #Customs #Enforcement (ICE), raising concerns he could be deported to #China where he would face #persecution." It would be very much par-for-the course for the #Trump Administration to deport a Chinese human rights #activist back to China, @andrewstroehlein, @humanrightswatch.

"Democracy and #Constitution will doom #India oneday"
A growing & concerning sentiment among a demography that's too #privileged to have suffered #persecution under a #dictatorship or had to #sacrifice anything for their #freedom. It's delusional to expect a #dictator to take wise, impartial & just decisions or even respect your #HumanRights after you foolishly hand them #authority.
#Democracy works where others don't! But you can't be lazy & hand #governance to someone else!

Voting for the Cage: How Fundamentalism Married Politics, Made Dissent a Sin, and Persuaded Citizens to Surrender Their Own Freedom
Democracy does not always die with soldiers at the doors of parliament. Sometimes it reports for duty on election day. The polls open on schedule. Ballots are counted honestly. The winner raises a sacred book, invokes an ancestral civilization, promises to protect the family, and begins deciding which families count. No voter writes "oppress me" on a ballot. The authoritarian vote is written in the future tense and addressed to somebody else. Silence them. Remove her choice. Keep him out. Close their school. Ban their book. Cancel their citizenship. Let the police decide which protest is patriotic, let the government determine which religion is authentic, which body is legitimate, which marriage is real, which history may be taught, and which citizen must forever prove a loyalty the majority receives at birth. People vote for a locked door because they are told they will keep the key. […] -

#SCotUS is so rotten and partisan, the talking heads are saying "At least it makes the pre-writes easier"
Meaning when they're writing the articles about cases we know the #SupremeCourt agreed to hear and are waiting for a #verdict, the court's fascist-leaning #judgements are easily predictable.

Meanwhile, I trust that transparency, access, and deletion of the files kept by An Garda Síochána on hundreds of gay men in Dublin - which, as far as anyone knows, are retained *to this day* - will soon follow.
This by Shamim Malekmian in @dublininquirer from 2022:
"Forty years ago gardaí interviewed hundreds of gay men while searching for a killer - and they still have all the files"

This is long overdue, and a welcome change to have convictions in Ireland under a Victorian law for sexual activity between men *disregarded* rather than *pardoned* as was an earlier legislative proposal.
Still, the proposed statutory requirement that people apply, prompting a "review" seems overly bureaucratic - why not disregard all such convictions under the 1861 law?

Statement from the Founder – 11 June 2026
After several more exchanges with LinkedIn staff over the past few weeks, I am relieved to say that I have finally regained access to my account. However, the process that led to this outcome has raised serious concerns for me regarding transparency, consistency, and accountability.
Following a number of conflicting interactions with LinkedIn support, I temporarily regained access to my account, only to have it restricted again. I was informed by a LinkedIn Trust and Consumer Support Consultant, “Ramesh S”, that my account had violated the LinekdIn User Agreement and Professional Community Policies.
No explanation was provided as to what specific policies I had allegedly violated, what conduct gave rise to the restriction, or what evidence supported the decision. I repeatedly had to push for additional information.
I also submitted a Subject Access Request (SAR) under UK GDPR seeking information relating to my account and the decisions made regarding it. To date, I have not received any acknowledgement or response, which is concerning given LinkedIn’s obligations under data protection law.
Meanwhile, another LinkedIn representative, “Nayana”, informed me that there were alleged inconsistencies between my profile and my proof of identity.
The representative then requested that I provide another form of government-issued ID in addition to the passport I had already submitted. When I explained that my passport is the strongest form of identification I possess, I was instructed to print and sign a form before a Notary Public or Public Official.
I repeatedly questioned why such a requirement was necessary and pointed out how disproportionate it seemed. Nevertheless, I was informed that LinkedIn would maintain its original decision and that my account would remain restricted.
At the same time, another employee, “Anjali”, informed me that my identity had in fact been verified, but that LinkedIn had identified what they claimed was a second account belonging to me, constituting misuse of the platform.
The account in question bore an entirely different name, “Akanke Adebiyi”, had no profile photo, no connections and no activity. I had never seen the profile before in my life.
I made it clear that only my own profile belonged to me and asked how it had been concluded that an account under a completely different name belonged to me.
This created a bizarre situation in which one LinkedIn employee was insisting that I obtain notarized documents to prove my identity, while another had already confirmed my identity and was sending me password reset links.
Unfortunately, those links repeatedly failed to work despite being used within the validity period and across multiple devices. It was not until Wednesday morning (June 10th 2026) that I was finally able to successfully reset my password and regain access to my account.
I subsequently asked LinkedIn to confirm that the “Akanke Adebiyi” account had not used any of my personal information during registration and to explain why it had been attributed to me.
In response, Anjali stated:
“We sincerely apologize for any confusion caused earlier. Upon reviewing your account, we would like to confirm that the information shared previously was incorrect due to an internal error.
Please be assured that you have only one LinkedIn account, and it is currently active. We also see that you have successfully logged in to your account.
We regret any inconvenience this may have caused and appreciate your patience while we looked into this for you.”
I appreciate that I have finally been able to access my account again and I am genuinely relieved that this issue has, at least for now, been resolved.
However, I remain deeply concerned by the lack of transparency surrounding the original restriction, the contradictory information I received from different members of staff, the extraordinary request that I seek notarization despite having already provided a passport, and the fact that my Subject Access Request appears to have gone unanswered.
Mistakes happen. But when a platform plays such an important role in people’s professional lives, clear explanations, consistency and accountability matter.
The absence of these things only creates confusion and undermines trust. Given the wider circumstances of covert repression I am experiencing, it is hard not to assume the connection between these extremely bizarre events.
I hope LinkedIn will still respond to my SAR and provide some clarity regarding the events that led to this experience.
Thank you for your patience with me if you have tried to contact me. Going forward, I would advise trying to reach me via email or WhatsApp if you need to contact me, in case something like this happens again. If any other disruptions to my ability to communicate take place, I will aim to disclose that as soon as it becomes clear that it will not be resolved quickly. As I mentioned in a previous statement, as of March 10th, I do not have access to my longstanding UK phone line, which was disconnected by O2 under similarly bizarre circumstances.
