DHS surveilled peaceful protesters and then yanked their Global Entry, federal lawsuit alleges
April Walker, a San Diego resident, was observing federal immigration agents in a Target parking lot in April
when she said they boxed her in and pointed a camera at her face and license plate.
👉 She said she never provided her driver’s license
and the agents only moved their vehicles and allowed her to leave after she called 911.
❌ Five days later, she learned that…
A bit of peaceful stream for #SilentSunday
From Press Progress
We published a big story this week, that hasn't been covered in-depth anywhere else in mainstream media.
Canadian Border Services, or the CBSA raided a peaceful protest in Calgary last week, where international students were protesting being left without status.
Immigration rules were changed in the middle of the students' education, impacting their eligibility for post-graduation work permits upon completion.

Relaxed morning ride around 22° instead of a morning walk. Good to wake up.

Awakening to the gentle symphony of waves exemplifies peaceful simplicity. Imagine mornings with a beloved book and coffee, heralding retirement filled with FREEDOM. In Churchill's words, "To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often." I am committed to embracing transformation, growth, and serenity.
Saw a man in a suit sitting in Freedom Park smoking a pipe on my walk to the Metro today. Seemed peaceful.
Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels claimed a missile attack on the southern Saudi city of Jizan on Saturday, after vowing retaliation against the kingdom for attacks this week.
Iran, meanwhile, reported no strikes overnight on Saturday for the first time after two weeks of US attacks.
However, tensions remain high, with the Iranian health ministry spokesperson, Hossein Kermanpour, saying “Iran had a peaceful night” in a post on X.

One of the saddest slogans ever: Make America great again.
America always was great. It was the land of our dreams.
Since Trump, it's a nightmare.
America was our friend.
Now, it's who we thougt to be our adversaries who speak the truth and you can't believe anything that Trump says.
Our world is changing.
Europe hopefully will grow up very fast.
And I pray that our world will be more peaceful, egalitarian and democratic in the future, anywa…

I'm not even the first person to say things along this line either:
"Another motivation for reducing the steel intensity of modern society is to limit the consequences of geopolitical conflicts. The more steel we produce for peaceful purposes, the more steel becomes available for war and destruction. Remarkably, the production of military equipment is absent from modern steel statistics, and if mentioned, its share is very low. However, in times of war, steelmaking facilities switch to producing steel for military purposes. The steel industry can thus be converted into a weapons industry at any moment, and there is now a lot more steel production capacity available than there has ever been in history."

Oh, and that article also shows the math that proves that there is no way to move to EVs without absolutely blowing through the carbon budget. You have to switch to bikes and trains. There's literally no other way to keep an even close to habitable planet.
Peaceful takeover of Greenland's oil in the making...
"We need a deal. Greenland needs a deal. We could be – Greenland could be – exporting 2m barrels of oil a day right now.
...
The dispute threatens a showdown between the Trump-linked backers of Greenland Energy and the authorities in the vast, sparsely populated territory. Trump’s lieutenants are using the prospect of an American oil find in Greenland to bolster their case for an American takeover."

Today I dreamt that I was a sysadmin at some nursing home. It was supposed to be a peaceful life, but as soon as I sit down, the seniors started coming at me asking for root access to the home's server. Surprised, I asked why. As it turned out, the previous sysadmin apparently set up KaZaA as root for them on the server, supposedly it had to do with port access. At this point (in the dream) I had a deep facepalm 🤦.
