What is Accountability?
Barnard Center for Research on Women

#Accountability is self-reflecting, apologizing, making amends, and changing your behavior so the harm you caused doesn’t happen again. It is a process and not a destination. Over the years, accountability has been at the heart of transformative justice work. In this video, #transformative and restorative #justice practitioners discuss how accountability is enacted and some challenges in the journey.

«
Happy the man, of mortals happiest he,
Whose quiet mind from vain desires is free;
Whom neither hopes deceive, nor fears torment,
But lives at peace, within himself content;
In thought, or act, accountable to none
But to himself, and to the gods alone.

The defensiveness among Australian political circles is ridiculous.

Why can’t we admit failure, develop a new plan for more ambitious targets, and get on with it.

This unconstructive atychiphobia, treated by Dr Spin, is why Australia developed the fearful and evasive ‘Robodebt’ culture within the public service - which spends millions on spin doctors and drains funds so to procrastinate on FOI.

Great to see a recommendation for real-time disclosure of #politicaldonations — an obvious, straightforward, and much-needed reform.

It is easy to miss how little accountability may exist for an organization’s leadership due to the many trappings of accountability: check-ins, town halls, audits, ombuds, and reporting systems.

However, much of that work serves to paper over a culture of authoritarian directives in a context of regulatory capture.

In contradiction to their buck-stops-here mantra, leaders can rarely have to face up to being wrong—especially publicly.

Those who attempt to hold such leaders accountable can quickly face their wrath—even as it is delivered with a smile and a facade of rationality.

Is It Toxic To Hold Your Parents Accountable?

A) You have to know what #accountability means to you as the child and be able to concretely define what you want from them.

B) Communicate with empathy and understand that you must babysit them through their feelings of guilt.

C) Be prepared for disappointment. You can't force accountability.

🛑 STOP PETRO PETE 🛑

As Secretary of Transportation,
Pete Buttegieg could be doing the most to drop US emissions. Reducing car dependency. Building critical supply chains for food, medicine, and essential goods. Re-localizing and regionalizing the country, and setting an example for other core economic countries to follow. Policy for accessory business units and dwelling units, to transform the existing space and infrastructure we have into walkable communities where we can get everything we need and work with local purpose and agency.

Instead, Pete is signing oil terminals and creating sacrifice zones across the country. Stop PETRO PETE.

And stop the Seaport Oil Terminal and Gulflink projects — the equivalent of building 80 new coal plants right now, f*cking us all, and creating vast sacrifice zones of petrochemical pollution in the land, air, water across Texas and the Gulf Coast.

The rule is that all respectable Public Servants in liberal democratic societies should follow is ‘Everything is in writing. If not, then the public will ask “Was due process followed?”, and if FOIs are resisted the public will ask “What are you hiding?”.’

‘Four things belong to a judge…’ - Socrates.

I reviewed those accounts and also found Bill Smith, a new witness who, like earlier ones, says Wilder did not attack Nugent. Smith wants #accountability for Wilder’s death. "The system is only as good as we make the system," he said. 5/

Bill Smith stands on Jones Street in Ruston, Louisiana, in front of the former cafe, near the spot where John Wilder was killed. Smith stands in the foreground, wearing a dark blue short sleeved polo shirt and faded blue jeans. He is a Black man in his early 70s, with receding greying hairline and a greying beard. He appears pensive and somber.  Behind Smith and to his left, set back a little from the street is the former cafe. It is a single-story rectangular hall, cinder block walls painted white, a padlocked red door on the narrow end of the building facing Jones Street. On each side of the red door is a large, boarded-up window. A hand-painted, white sign over the larger of the two windows on the left reads, “WARNING: NO LOITERING, NO DRUGS, NO ALCOHOL ALLOWED.”  Photo by Ben Greenberg

@JuliusGoat No.

He burned $44.000.000.000 to destroy a place loved by #trans people as a 'flex' because his ex is now happily together with a trans woman.

Because #ApartheidEmeraldBoy never had to learn to accept a #no, facing #Accountability and #Consequences!

NEVER FORGET THAT FACT!

The recent allegations against #AntiFlag singer Justin Sane are horrifying. The band and record label's response have been immediate and telling.

I received my refund for the remainder of the 2023 record club today, just days after the news broke.

We need to live our values, and that includes holding those within our spaces accountable. I'm happy to see so many fans and bands stand on the side of victims.

Haybales with an archery target pinned to them. Thirteen arrows are in the target, one is just off to the side in the haybales. One arrow is in the center ring.

Looks like Yahoo! News is coming to the same conclusion:

Though the FL swamp may be rich in crimes, there is no place, it seems, where #TrumpVirus has not broken 'more crimes than anybody's ever seen before". So... fantastic to not be stuck with a loose cannon as the first shoe to drop. More..,

Soon, please!

Maybe #Jan6 Grand Jury could start more quickly than FL, w/ "loose Cannon" presiding/delaying?

As the most terrific #accountability & #truth avoider in history continues to paint all the myriad crimes against law & humanity as "perfect" (like him), and any reference to all the 'hoaxes' (COVID, documents, Jan6, etc.), 'election interference'.

National crime "like nobody's seen before" starting to see the light of day - in court! Finally!

2/ #Iran issues arrest warrant for Trump over killing of top commander Qasem Soleimani

UPDATED MON, JUN 29 2020 11:56 AM EDT

#Qasem #Soleimani led #Iran's Quds Force, the foreign operations wing of the elite paramilitary Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
The 62-year-old Soleimani was killed in a drone strike directed by Trump in early January 2020.

Get in line Iran because there are quite a few arrest warrants out for donald trump.

https://www.cnbc.com/2020/06/29/iran-issues-arrest-warrant-for-trump-over-killing-of-qasem-soleimani.html

The drone strike that killed Iran's top commander, General #Qasem #Soleimani, near Baghdad's airport in Iraq. Then Trump went on national TV said he ordered the hit.

donald t**** and mike Pompeo carried out the attack on the territory of a state that plainly did not give us permission, said Mary Ellen O'Connell, a law professor and an expert on international disputes at the University of Notre Dame. "The attack was unlawful, the assassination was not justifiable."

@futurebird I think that this is another thing that activitypub can be made to do in addition to all the stuff it already takes the form of

I think there’s a bit of a need for a work from home but ‘check in’ sort of arrangement which isn’t the conventional microboggling thoroughly time wasting meaningless noise that exists already on the fediverse (that we’re all here for all day anyway)

It has to be something that’s a bit more continuous and serious, but not so serious that it resembles linked in, and it’d have to be mostly for logging time and achievements and starring other people’s achievements and time/effort spent

It’d be like a sort of calendar and timesheet but fun, it’d have to be not like a real job (in that if I want to put a masturbation break in the time sheet, it’s allowed) but it should be something that one would take at least a bit seriously and not just forget it exists after having hilarious fun with it for a few days of absurdity then nothing

It’d be networky, in that it’s all very well logging your own time but there’s a lot of leverage in being slightly accountable (~0.5%?) to other people because you said you were going to do something and did

It could also be a sort of help / problem removal platform but that’s not the main thing (or who knows, maybe it might)

But it won’t in most ways resemble being on mastodon, yet it’s activitypub

Hi there, #Tulsa. We got to just 64,000 customers still without electricity and decided, you know what? We're not going to show you who still doesn't have power anymore. So we took the outage map down. #ThankALinesman #PSOklahoma #Accountability
