Customs and Border Protection flying powerful Predator B drones over Los Angeles further breaks the seal on federal involvement in civilian matters typically handled by state or local authorities.
Elon Musk may be gone from the Trump administration — and his friendship status with President Donald Trump may be at best uncertain — but his whirlwind stint
President Donald Trump said he would meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenksyy in the coming weeks "if necessary...
Randahl. Are you going to hold the President of the United States accountable to something he “truthed” two weeks ago? Really? It’s like it never happened ! Two weeks ago! Pffft!
Report from the Amsterdam protest: there are a few hundred people here and two uniformed Dutch cops at a respectful distance very casually chatting with each other while they wait for nothing to hurry up and happen.
A lot of people are tourists (American or otherwise) who happened to see the protest because the US consulate is between several museums. They’re all like “hell yeah I’m stopping for this.” Passing bikes ring their bells (some of them might even be in support and not because Americans are standing on the bike path). I don’t know where someone in Amsterdam found an enormous California bear flag on such short notice
And yes, everyone loves Odin, who randomly decided to put his paws up on my shoulders when we were very visible to the crowd
I rode my bike to the library to return a book, which isn't terribly exciting, but I'm pleased that I can now take care of local errands by bike instead of car.
I have expandable pannier bags that weigh next-to-nothing and lie almost flat when empty. They can quickly be hooked on and off each side of the carrier. I don't have a photo, but they're sort of like this. Mine are ancient - they last forever. A friend has newer, fancier ones with a more boxy design and flat flap. Hers work as the actual shopping bag in the supermarket too, rather than to carry other bags, so even quicker to use.
That makes sense, if you aren't likely to use them a lot or for regular bulk loads, at least at the beginning. I only use mine occasionally, so I don't leave them on the bike all the time. I couldn't live without my big front basket thought - a surprising amount of anything and everything fits into a big deep basket.
“Among the eight people who #RFKJr announced would make up his new group of outside vaccine advisers to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are an emergency physician who posted Islamophobic commentary on social media and two doctors who were paid to provide expert testimony in trials against a vaccine maker.”
Here are the 8 new members of the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), who have replaced the 17 members fired on Monday by HHS Sec. RFK Jr.
As expected, many of them are anti-vaxxers and anti-maskers, who have made a living trashing vaccines and scientists, and peddling quack treatments.
Instead of the glowing official bio, let's read how epidemiologist Elizabeth Jacobs, PhD, and others describe these people.
In conflict, we find clarity. We all hold contradictory views: We love our families, but they drive us crazy. We want more housing in our cities, but we don’t want our property values to decrease w…
🇮🇱⚡️ Israel has achieved air superiority from western Iran to Tehran. IDF spokesperson Effi Defrin stated that over 70 fighter jets took part in a night operation targeting Tehran, striking ~40 sites including air defense systems.
Israeli aircraft and UAVs operated over the capital for 2.5 hours. “Tehran is no longer protected,” Defrin said.
Top politicians are set to converge on the Japanese capital for a close contest seen as a bellwether for the national House of Councillors election this
One last push: The peertube app campaign is just €7000 away from it's €55,000 target, and 2 days to go. Surely there are #fedizens who may not have seen this already? If they make the €55,000 target I promise to write a peertube channel into my next grant proposal, AND I'll post some better quality videos of our Greenland and #Antarctic research over the coming weeks...

My American friends: I hope you join me today. To stand up for our freedom to assemble & our freedom of speech. To reject authoritarianism & dictatorship. To demand the government be accountable to the people - not the reverse.
I just made this my phone wallpaper and lock screen in the event I do get hassled by CBP agents when go thru Immigration/Customs in HOU this afternoon.
And I’ve made the five-clicks-on-the-side-button action a muscle memory.

Still haven’t figured out a good way to connect with other creatives and people interested in electronic music of all sorts. I’ve almost completely severed myself from commercial social media; I’ve deleted InstaGram becauce Mark Fuckerberg is a fascist. So without meta, Bluesky is the last bastion of commercial bullshit. Go fediverse! #music #electronica #electronicmusic #edm #ambient
Boerenorganisatie LTO dringt aan op een snelle beoordeling van een nieuwe studie die aantoont dat onkruidverdelger glyfosaat kanker veroorzaakt bij ratten. Veel boeren gebruiken glyfosaat.
An anonymous reader quotes a report from the Wall Street Journal: Since 2022, the U.S. has tightened the noose around the sale of high-end AI chips and other technology to China overnational-security concerns.
Ukraine freed dozens of wounded and ill soldiers in a new prisoner exchange with Russia. Many of the returned defenders had been in captivity since 2022, including Mariupol fighters and young officers.
