with passengers including 169 Indians, 53 Britons, seven Portuguese and one Canadian

"Inspired by the political philosopher Albert Hirschman, figures including Goff, Thiel and the investor and writer Balaji Srinivasan have been championing what they call “exit” – the principle that those with means have the right to walk away from the obligations of citizenship, especially taxes and burdensome regulation. Retooling and rebranding the old ambitions and privileges of empires, they dream of splintering governments and carving up the world into hyper-capitalist, democracy-free havens under the sole control of the supremely wealthy, protected by private mercenaries, serviced by AI robots and financed by cryptocurrencies."
...
Our opponents know full well that we are entering an age of emergency, but have responded by embracing lethal yet self-serving delusions. Having bought into various apartheid fantasies of bunkered safety, they are choosing to let the Earth burn. Our task is to build a wide and deep movement, as spiritual as it is political, strong enough to stop these unhinged traitors. A movement rooted in a steadfast commitment to one another, across our many differences and divides, and to this miraculous, singular planet."

A great piece of analysis with lots of suggestions for what to do in response to the Trump administration's efforts to destroy U.S. research infrastructure. I appreciate the inclusion of the work to #DefendResearch against #censorship.

The Trump administration is preparing to begin the transfer of potentially thousands of foreigners who are in the United States illegally
to the U.S. military base in Guantšnamo Bay, Cuba,
starting as early as this week,
said U.S. officials familiar with the matter.

The foreign nationals under consideration hail from a range of countries.
They include hundreds from friendly European nations, including Britain, Italy, France, Germany, Ireland, Belgium, the Nethe…

Trump to ramp up transfers to Guantánamo, including citizens of allies
The administration aims to send thousands of foreigners to Guantánamo, including people from Britain and France, with no plans to notify their home governments.

Birational Transformations and 2d (0,2) Quiver Gauge Theories beyond Toric Fano 3-folds
We show that a family of birational transformations that relate toric Fano 3-folds defined by reflexive lattice polytopes can be identified with mass deformations of corresponding 2d (0,2) supersymmetric quiver gauge theories. These theories are realized by a Type IIA brane configuration known as brane brick models. We further show that the same family of birational transformations extends to more general toric Calabi-Yau 4-folds, including those defined by non-reflexive toric diagrams. Under t…

Results from the T2K experiment on neutrino mixing including a new far detector $μ$-like sample
T2K has made improved measurements of three-flavor neutrino mixing with 19.7(16.3)$\times 10^{20}$ protons on target in (anti-)neutrino-enhanced beam modes. A new sample of muon-neutrino events with tagged pions has been added at the far detector, increasing the neutrino-enhanced muon-neutrino sample size by 42.5%. In addition, new samples have been added at the near detector, and significant improvements have been made to the flux and neutrino interaction modeling. T2K data continues to prefer…

Everyone in the UK must prepare for missile attacks, warns top general
Britons should learn how to shelter from air raids, possibly in drills with sirens, says ex-military chief Sir Richard Barrons who co-wrote the Strategic Defence Review

I see Secretary of State Marco Rubio as a good man doing bad things,
but perhaps he thinks even worse of me: He recently suggested that I was a liar.
While testifying before Congress, Rubio claimed that the Trump administration’s dismantling of the United States Agency for International Development had not cost any lives.
“No children are dying on my watch,” he asserted.
At another point in the hearing, he broadened his statement to include adults as well: “No one has d…

Opinion | Really, Secretary Rubio? I’m Lying About the Kids Dying Under Trump?
Many thousands of children are dying because of cuts in American humanitarian aid, and denials by Elon Musk and Marco Rubio don’t change that reality.
