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…

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.

#RuhrBahn wishes you a peaceful evening.
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…
Memorial Day, an occasion to honor America’s war dead, originated from attempts to heal from war and prevent its recurrence.
First called Decoration Day, the holiday involved decorating the graves of Civil War soldiers and commemorating their sacrifices.
Some leaders at the time promoted the idea that the holiday could advance post-war reconciliation between the North and the South.
(Though that desire for reconciliation conflicted, to some extent, with advancing redress fo…

@… A year or so ago, I changed my phone's ringtone to a beautiful and peaceful guitar intro by Richard Thompson, and now I'm much happier when the phone rings.
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 🤦.

Heute vor 50 Jahren: Am 28. Mai 1976 unterzeichneten Präsident Gerald Ford und Generalsekretär Leonid Brezhnev den PNE-Vertrag (Peaceful Nuclear Explosions Treaty) für unterirdische Kernexplosionen zu friedlichen Zwecken, vereinbar mit dem #Atomwaffensperrvertrag.

Ezra Klein talking with Bryan Stevenson.
Heart wrenching, heart warming, very moving with the core message: If we are able to confront ourselves with our history, we are able to connect with hope, love and what is precious to us in order to find a good, peaceful future.

This was a nice ride. Some sections involved pushing the bike. And some steep parts came a bit surprising. But overall it was nice with some quite challenging sections. It was a loop that I wanted to try since quite a while.

History repeats itself more than it should.
If you think we cannot get out from under these ghouls, then all I can say is we did it several times before.
We should be getting good at it by now.

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.
