World human rights report says U.S. is undermining LGBTQ+ rights worldwide

✇LGBTQ Nation
Greg Owen

The latest annual report on the state of global human rights from Human Rights Watch presents a grim outlook for democracy and LGBTQ+ rights around the world.

Central to that assessment: the Trump administration.

“The global human rights system is in peril,” writes Philippe Bolopion, Executive Director of Human Rights Watch, in the report’s introduction.

“Under relentless pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump, and persistently undermined by China and Russia, the rules-based international order is being crushed, threatening to take with it the architecture human rights defenders have come to rely on to advance norms and protect freedoms,” the report states.

The democratic order is facing a “democratic recession,” Bolopion says: “72% of the world’s population now living under autocracy. Russia and China are less free today than 20 years ago. And so is the United States.”

“Authoritarian leaders have exploited public mistrust and anger to win elections and then dismantled the very institutions that brought them to power,” Bolopion writes, citing India, Turkey, and Hungary, among other countries, without naming the U.S.

“Where democracy is undermined, so too are human rights,” he says.

“The U.S. used to actually be a government that was advancing the rights of LGBT people around the world, and making sure that it was finding its way into resolutions, into U.N. documents,” Bolopion said at a press conference announcing the report. “Now we see the opposite movement.”

Both at home and abroad, the Trump administration and its allies are advancing an agenda that rolls back or eliminates protections for LGBTQ+ people.

“In many parts of the U.S., officials at all levels continue to target the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people,” the report details. “The current administration has escalated attacks on transgender communities. It has taken executive actions that prohibit government use of the term gender, narrowly define sex as that assigned at birth, restrict and withdraw support for gender-affirming care for youth, and roll back protections for transgender students.”

Those domestic attacks accompany slashed international or eliminated funding overseas and at the U.N. that once advanced LGBTQ+ rights and well-being.

The shutdown of USAID ended funding for HIV/AIDS programs and others that benefited LGBTQ+ people. The U.S. has withdrawn from dozens of U.N. treaties and other international agreements on the pretext of eliminating “gender ideology.” In January, it broadened the Mexico City Policy barring promotion of abortion to include “gender ideology,” as well.

“LGBTQ rights are not just a casualty of the Trump foreign policy,” Human Rights Watch Washington Director Sarah Yager said during the press conference. “It is the intent of the Trump foreign policy.”

The exhaustive summary of human rights abuses in other countries includes many enabled by tacit or implied support of autocratic governments by the Trump administration, including those in Hungary and Russia.

“In March, Hungary’s parliament amended the law on freedom of assembly banning Pride marches and other public LGBT events, imposing fines on potential participants, and authorizing the use of facial recognition to identify attendees,” the report notes.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán is a close personal ally of Trump.

In Russia, where President Vladimir Putin continues to enjoy Trump’s admiration as a “smart” and “strong leader,” multiple laws aimed at erasing the LGBTQ+ community continue to inflict damage.

“In 2025, at least two individuals received prison sentences, of six and three years respectively, for allegedly ‘involving’ people in the ‘international LGBT movement,’ which the Supreme Court had designated as ‘extremist,'” the report details.

“Another person received a compulsory labor sentence for repeated displays of ‘extremist’ symbols, such as the rainbow flag. In September, a court in Tula handed down a two-year suspended sentence for alleged participation in the ‘LGBT movement’ to a local resident over a social media post about the need for people to defend their rights.”

In 2025, Human Rights Watch was labeled “undesirable” by Russia’s government and banned from operating in the country.

When Clever Hardware Hacks Bite Back: A Password Keeper Device Autopsy

✇hackaday.com
Maya Posch

Sometimes you have this project idea in your mind that seems so simple and straightforward, and which feels just so right that you have to roll with it. Then, years later you stumble across the sad remnants of the tearful saga and the dismal failure that it portrays. Do you put it away again, like an unpleasant memory, or write it up in an article, as a tearful confession of past sins? After some coaxing by a friend, [Alessandro] worked up the courage to detail how he set about making a hardware-only password keeper, and why it failed.

The idea was so simple: the device would pretend to be a keyboard and type the passwords for you. This is not that unusual, as hardware devices like the Mooltipass do something similar. Even better, it’d be constructed only out of parts lying around, including an ATtiny85 and an HD44780 display, with bit-banged USB connectivity.

Prototyping the hardware on a breadboard.

Overcoming the challenge of driving the LC display with one pin on the MCU required adding a 74HC595 demultiplexer and careful timing, which sort of worked when the stars aligned just right. Good enough, but what about adding new passwords?

This is where things quickly skidded off the tracks in the most slapstick way possible, as [Alessandro] solved the problem of USB keyboard HID devices being technically ‘output-only’, by abusing the indicator statuses for Caps Lock, Num Lock, and Scroll Lock. By driving these from the host PC in just the right way you can use them as a sort of serial protocol. This incidentally turned out to be the most reliable part of the project.

Where the project finally tripped and fell down the proverbial flight of stairs was when it came to making the bit-banged USB work reliably. As it turns out, USB is very unforgiving with its timing unlike PS/2, making for an infuriating user experience. After tossing the prototype hardware into a box, this is where the project gathered dust for the past years.

If you want to give it a try yourself, maybe using an MCU that has more GPIO and perhaps even a USB hardware peripheral like the STM32F103, ESP32-S3 or something fruit-flavored, you can take a gander at the project files in the GitHub repository.

We’re always happy to see projects that (ab)use the Lock status indicators, it’s always been one of our favorite keyboard hacks.

A Simple Desktop Pomodoro Timer

✇hackaday.com
Lewin Day

Pomodoro timers are a simple productivity tool. They help you work in dedicated chunks of time, usually 25 minutes in a sitting, before taking a short break and then beginning again. [Clovis Fritzen] built just such a timer of his own, and added a few bonus features to fill out its functionality.

The timer is based around the popular ESP32-S2 microcontroller, which has the benefit of onboard WiFi connectivity. This allows the project to query the Internet for things like time and date updates via NTP, as well as weather conditions, and the value of the Brazilian Real versus the American dollar. The microcontroller is paired with an SHT21 sensor for displaying temperature and humidity in the immediate environment, and an e-paper display for showing timer status and other relevant information. A button on top of the device allows cycling between 15, 30, 45, and 60 minute Pomodoro cycles, and there’s a buzzer to audibly call time. It’s all wrapped up in a cardboard housing that somehow pairs rather nicely with the e-paper display aesthetic.

If Pomodoro is your chosen method of productivity hacking, a project like this could suit you very well. We’ve featured a few similar builds before, too.

Game Description
The legendary Carmageddon engine roars back to life, as a spin-off for a new era of vehicular combat.

THE LONG NIGHT – The year is 2050, and the world you know is a post‑apocalyptic wasteland. Hordes of nightmare creatures, the Wasted, lay siege to humanity. Every night, the streets are overrun, forcing everyone to barricade themselves in their skyscraper-homes for survival. There is just one chance to escape all this: the Carmageddon. These deadly races promise power, prestige, and valuable prizes to the participants. Most importantly, the champion wins the right to attempt the perilous journey that leads to the spaceport beyond the mountains. The only one left, the only chance to flee this dying world. You enter the Carmageddon as one of countless racers, equipped with little more than a rust bucket, scavenged fuel, and a makeshift weapon. You’ll face off against rival gangs like the Autoscum and other rogues in a fight for survival. Each destruction race is an opportunity to win parts and upgrades, a step towards the ultimate escape. As the night descends, the Wasted take the streets, and you with them.
THE ROGUELITE CAMPAIGN – Every Campaign run offers a unique journey through a randomly generated graph. Win Events and smash opponents to gain Credits. Maneuvers such as killing Wasteds, drifts, jumps, and flicks also grant rewards. Strategically plan your route so you can reach Shops. In these safe havens you can repair your car, swap weapons, or install one of the 80+ unlockable perks. Adapt to the dynamically increasing difficulty and conquer elite events and bosses. With branching paths, varied objectives, and ever-changing time-of-day and weather conditions, no two runs are the same. But the Carmageddon ain’t over when your vehicle is wrecked. Another driver will step up, and the challenge will resume anew, in a typical roguelite loop. Earn Beatcoins to unlock permanent bonuses and new content between runs in the Black Market. Find synergies between these elements to create the ultimate killing machine: the Carmageddon never ends
OPPONENTS – The Carmageddon hosts a diverse assembly of marauders, rejects, and lowlifes. Some prefer to rush in front of the pack. Others will chase you and try to bash you out of the way. Some will wait for the chance to unload their weapons into your car. Some are more skilled or better prepared than others. You may recognize some familiar names in the crowd. Corrupt police forces known as the Enforcers impose their brutal rules on those spared from mutation. The Enforcers will force you off the road to strip your car for spare parts and ammo, if you let them. Each area of the city is controlled by a particularly fierce opponent, commonly known as “the Boss”. These are the biggest, baddest, fastest, more armed vehicles that you can find. The rules of the Carmageddon demand that you beat each Boss before advancing to the next stage. Every race is a brutal test of skill, demanding you master driving, melee, and ranged attacks against a diverse and unpredictable roster of foes. To do so, you must work on your car, find upgrades and weapons that combine well together, and consistently perform behind the wheel.
THE WASTED – The Third World War and a series of devastating natural disasters left Earth in ruins. Amidst the chaos, a food supplement called MiVis was introduced to address food shortages, and became a ubiquitous part of daily life. However, long-term consumption of MiVis led to a horrific cellular mutation, transforming people into Wasted – monstrous, empty husks consumed by the supplement’s side effects. Now, they have become a mass of unsentient, super-aggressive beings that threaten survivors as soon as the sun starts to set. A lone Wasted is no match for your chariot of fury. Things start to heat up when more Wasteds show up. Boost into the hordes of humanoid husks swarming the track, parting the waves of Wasted like a Moses on wheels! But be careful not to get stuck in the high tide: too many Wasteds will surround your car and smash it to bits with the remains of their raw hands. And then there are Special Wasteds… horrible supermutations of the Wasted, morphed into something even less human. They may explode, shoot you from a distance, lunge at your car, or produce even nastier surprises. They pose a real danger and tend to show up late at night. And then, there’s the ultimate abomination. A creature whispered about, rarely seen; the monster that guards the only mountain pass towards salvation, and your final challenge.

Game Features

  • 15 upgradeable vehicles – FWD, RWD & AWD, each with unique weight and suspension.
  • Metal‑on‑metal car combat – crash, shove, boost and side‑bash rivals.
  • 13 weapon classes – from shotguns to railguns, all fully upgradable.
  • 80+ perks – craft outrageous synergies for destruction racing supremacy.
  • Dynamic weather & day‑night cycle – rain slicks the tarmac, fog shrouds ambushes.
  • Elite & Boss events – colossal war‑rigs, corrupted Enforcers, and endless zombie hordes.
  • Extensive visual damage model – windshields, hood, doors, bumpers and trunk lid will bend, crumple, hang and detach.
