Reminders of a past time when a secret police force was permitted to snatch people off the street, and send them to a camp hidden from the public in another country.

Het Centraal Planbureau #CPB heeft een nieuwe methode ontwikkeld waarmee organisaties kunnen toetsen of hun selectie-algoritmes indirect onderscheid maken tussen groepen.

Corporation for #PublicBroadcasting, a private agency that has steered federal #funding to #PBS, #NPR & hundreds of #public #television & #radio stations across the country, voted Monday to dissolve the organization that was created in 1967.
#CPB had been winding down since #Congress acted last summer to defund its operations under orders from #Trump. Its board of directors chose to shutter CPB completely instead of keeping it as a shell.

Rest in power #CPB, thank you for my entire childhood. Your murder will be avenged.

I am literally in tears right now. I weep for the country we could have been.
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting’s board of directors voted to dissolve the organization, officials announced Monday night, ending the 58-year-old agency that distributed federal funds to #NPR, #PBS and more than 1,500 local public radio and television stations.
This formalizes the shutdown after Republicans in Congress rescinded $1.1 billion in funding because of Trump’s tantrum demand.
Created by Congress through the Public Broadcasting Act of 1967, #CPB served as a middleman between taxpayers and public media, distributing most of its appropriations directly to local stations. The funding was particularly crucial for small and rural stations, especially those in areas where internet isn’t. Most of them will be forced to close.
Tax the #EpsteinClass, or eat them, one of the two.

@matthimon this demand.alone should be illegal, espechally since the "Visa-free entry" into the #USA is not a "right" but a mere "ask" and even with a visa the #CPB is known to randomly deny entry without any due process nor appeals.
The USA is demanding from >40 states an "Enhanced Border Security Partnership" #EBSP. It will grant their migrant hunters direct access to police databases in these - mostly European - countries. This is unprecedented.

@liaizon granted, I wounder why @sixtus got one...
Cuz AFAICT there's no benefit fir a #Visa compared to #ESTA since the #USA (and #Japan, abeit the latter one isn't notorious for it) allows it's #CPB to reject entrants at random with neither dispute resolution nor appeals.
With its shutdown imminent, does anyone know of efforts to systematically save all the media archives from #CPB #NPR #PBS etc. for future generations?
Like this invaluable NPR #TinyDeskConcert by #Stromae? 💔
