A quiet but significant expansion of the US surveillance apparatus is taking shape inside DHS — built from travel databases, biometric systems, location data markets, AI analytics, and tools like Palantir’s ELITE platform.
In this report, I trace how investigative reporting from Mother Jones, Wired, and 404 Media reveals the architecture of a system capable of tracking Americans’ movements, identities, and digital lives.

ICE List:
The small European website exposing US immigration agents
The Netherlands-based site uses public information and tips to reveal identities of agents involved in crackdowns across US
It started as a cheeky response on social media to the US secretary for homeland security.
Months later, however, a
Europe-based project to unmask US immigration and custom enforcement (ICE) agents has racked up millions of views and mobilised hundreds of volunteers.

Our current laws and digital systems aren’t strong enough to protect us. This leaves Canadian voices, our choices, and our digital identities at risk. Parliament must step up and champion Canada’s Digital Sovereignty Charter now

I've noticed that the people that have the hardest time changing people's pronouns based on their gender identities, the people that struggle with that the most are the same people that get really mad if you call their truck a car. It's just an observation. It's the same group.

Like, let's take your car. It's a truck! Okay, Jesus Christ. Just saw a windshield and four tires.

So the collective trauma reaction against the Church, so deep for those of us coming from the tradition of the European Left, alienates us from those indigenous comrades of ours who refused to let their identities be erased. It alienates us from Black and Latin American comrades who, in some cases, have subverted that same religion from a tool of oppression to a tool of resistance.
It also alienates us from our pagan, Jewish, and even Christian ancestors. Rather than a rejection of the genocides, crusades, and pogroms carried out to solidify the hegemony of the Church, a chauvinistic atheism affirms it under another name. Likewise it affirms the patriarchs who burned witches and destroyed midwifery to shift power over to male doctors.
The "Enlightenment" paradigm of "Reason," that led through secularism to the anti-religious antagonism of Bill Maher and the New Atheists, is laced with an Islamophobia and anti-Semitism rooted in the same church they claim to reject. And anyone who has been paying attention can see that it opens the door to the far right anti-Semitism and Islamophobia that also grows from that same root...

Basics of RF Electronics

arXiv:2602.15205v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: The focus of this educational text is selected examples of high-frequency electronic circuits and their components employed for the accurate phasing and synchronisation of accelerator cavities. Examples have been chosen to describe the basics of RF electronics. The starting point is transmission lines, connectors, discontinuities, and the handling of reflection. The application of simple surface mount components is discussed. The use of the Kuroda identities for converting lumped circuit designs to printed circuit designs is demonstrated. The accelerator example used to demonstrate the use of components is a circuit designed for the synchronisation of the CLIC crab cavities. This example employs co-planar waveguide, SMA connectors, Wilkinson splitters, and surface-mount double-balanced mixers. For the control of cavity phase and amplitude, the benefit of I&Q controllers will be explained. The text will then discuss the operation and use of I&Q modulators and VCOs.

A federal judge Wednesday heard arguments in the Trump administration’s lawsuit
challenging California’s new law prohibiting ICE agents and other police officers from wearing masks on duty.
The judge asked how ICE agents operated without masks in years past,
and questioned why California peace officers were exempted from the law.
A ruling in closely-watched case could come as soon as this week.
