The penultimate #AAS247 presser https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UiBq0KdXU9c about High Redshifts and High Energies dealt e.g. with An Unlensed Barred Spiral Before Cosmic Noon (https://www.newswise.com/articles/pitt-student-finds-familiar-structure-just-2-billion-years-after-the-big-bang and https://www.umass.edu/news/article/astronomers-find-one-oldest-barred-spiral-galaxies-universe), A precessing jet from an active galactic nucleus (https://public.nrao.edu/news/record-breaking-stream-of-super-heated-gas/ and https://keckobservatory.org/vv340a/ and https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/ecz5crtdymxrlodycogpt/AB32N_1Bh3pyI2SyzbRGkTs?rlkey=zbyz1muz40y1rh8ierpw1yfok&e=1&st=ebs24tqb&dl=0) and the papers AT2024wpp: An Extremely Luminous Fast Ultraviolet Transient Powered by Accretion onto a Black Hole & Multiwavelength Modeling of the Luminous Fast Blue Optical Transient AT2024wpp (https://arxiv.org/abs/2601.03337 and https://arxiv.org/abs/2601.03372 with https://docs.google.com/document/d/1foKS2AQJlWvI4_ZzUlV8pYfkyAsElzkRQ5yo82VWy4s/edit?pli=1&tab=t.0 and https://www.ljmu.ac.uk/about-us/news/articles/2026/1/6/cow and https://public.nrao.edu/news/radio-telescopes-uncover-invisible-gas-around-record-shattering-cosmic-explosion/).

The Greenland sea cables are probably being closely monitored, but redundancy seems minimal likely limited to OneWeb satellite connectivity and some VSAT links.
Looking at the routing side, AS8818 announces just two /19s and one /22 (and two /32s in IPv6) with a single upstream provider, Level 3 Inc. This suggests that Layer 3 redundancy is even more constrained.
I would have expected at least one EU-based provider as an additional upstream...

Please apply pressure to electeds, urging them to aggressively pursue state charges against ICE officers, in defiance of the FBI if necessary.
Many of them already want this. State AG is already taking steps to do this. Apply the pressure anyway; the pressure helps.
