The case has drawn national attention because the brothers, Antonio Yesayahu Gámez-Cuéllar, 18, and Caleb Gámez-Cuéllar, 14, travelled to Washington DC last summer after their high school’s mariachi ensemble, Mariachi Ono, won a state mariachi competition. Their congresswoman, Monica De La Cruz, invited them to the House floor, where she celebrated their accomplishment.

Late last month, the brothers and their parents, Luis Antonio Martínez and Emma Guadalupe Cuéllar, as well as their younger brother Joshua Gámez-Cuéllar, 12, were detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), according to Texas representatives.

Hey,

Some of you may know me for Jotty and Cr*nmaster, been quiet with my head down lately improving my apps and trying to build a searxng alternative for myself.

Whilst I have used searxng for about a year now, I have had quite a few personal gripes with it (mostly stuff I personally would prefer worked differently) so in the past few weeks I have decided to make my take on it and ran it happily locally. Since publishing the beta to my discord server I ended up building a fairly extensive tool.

Degoog is actually pretty minimal, there's no much to it aside from a very comprehensive plugin/extension system. The idea being users can create their own engines, themes and plugins that hook into the core application and do.. pretty much anything, from adding stuff to the result page (e.g. speedtests, tmdb information, ip retrieval, rss feeds embedded on the home page) to full on OIDC systems.

This is still very much in beta and I figured the best way to get it out of beta would be to publish it to a wider audience (currently some users in our discord server have been testing it fairly successfully and i've been on top of bug fixing).

Repo: https://github.com/fccview/degoog

Official extensions: https://github.com/fccview/fccview-degoog-extensions

Docs: https://fccview.github.io/degoog

You can install custom plugins/extensions. You can make your own repo and add it to the store page in the settings, or you can just have your own plugins locally for yourself.

Let me know what you think, and feel free to ask any questions and feel free to join our discord (link in releases page on any of my apps) for a more direct chat about things <3

Until 1970, the US dumped an estimated 17,000 tons of unspent chemical weapons from World War I and II off the coast of the Atlantic Ocean—and that disposal decision continues to haunt commercial fishing operations.

In an article published this week in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, health officials from New Jersey and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that there were at least three incidents of commercial fishing crews dredging up dangerous chemical warfare munitions (CWMs) off the coast of New Jersey between 2016 and 2023.

-Disarmament talks were paused on day war started, sources say

-Trump's Gaza plan viewed as major foreign policy goal

-Israel continues to strike Gaza, Hamas carries out ambushes

-US-led Gaza mission scales back operations

JERUSALEM/CAIRO, March 9 (Reuters) - Talks to advance President Donald Trump's plan to end the Gaza war have been on hold since last week when the U.S. and Israel jointly attacked Iran, sparking a broader Middle East war, three sources with direct knowledge of the negotiations said.

The pause threatens to stall implementation of ‌Trump's flagship Middle East peace initiative, which he has cast as a major foreign policy objective. It comes less than a month after he secured billions of dollars in pledges for Gaza from Gulf Arab states - countries that are now facing Iranian attacks as the conflict widens.

Trump's Gaza plan has hinged in part on whether Hamas militants would lay down their arms in exchange for amnesty, a step intended to pave the way for reconstruction and further Israeli military withdrawals. White House mediators have been backchanneling between Israel and Hamas on the disarmament question.

Negotiations on this and other issues were paused when the Iran war began on February 28, the three sources said, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive talks. The pause in disarmament talks has not been previously reported.

Zaha Hassan, of the Washington-based Carnegie ⁠Endowment for International Peace, said countries including the United Arab Emirates and Qatar which pledged funds for Trump's Board of Peace mission may be questioning if this is "really money well spent now that they are dodging rocket fire."

Naqvi, along with two other U.S. citizens and three green card holders, was detained by Customs and Border Protection agents Thursday morning in O’Hare Airport’s third terminal, where they were held for roughly 30 hours, according to Naqvi’s family, her attorney and local officials.

The group was then taken to the Immigrations and Customs Enforcement facility in Broadview Friday evening before being transported to the Dodge Detention Facility in Wisconsin, where they were released early Saturday morning, officials said Sunday.

Federal authorities, meanwhile, refused to give Naqvi’s family and supporters information about her whereabouts or even say if she was in their custody, they said. Naqvi’s iPhone location is how supporters kept tabs, Naqvi’s sister, Sarah Afzal, said at a rally Sunday outside of the Broadview ICE facility, 1930 Beach St.

Hej lemmings! (Hoping this is relevant enough for the selfhosted commjnity)

Quick question for you all: do you stick with the same distro across your PC, laptop, and server, or do you pick different ones based on the device and what you're doing?

For me, I've been mixing and matching depending on the use case, but I'm starting to think it'd be nice to just have one distro (or at least one family like Fedora or Debian) running everywhere. That way I wouldn't get confused about default settings or constantly have to look up flags for different package managers.

Right now my setup is:

• Gaming rig: CachyOS
• Laptop: AuroraOS
• NAS: Unraid
• Various project servers: DietPi, Debian, Alpine etc..

I feel like NixOS might be the only distro that could realistically handle all these use cases, but I'm a bit scared of the learning curve and the maintenance work it'd take to migrate everything over.

Am I the only one who feels like having "one distro to rule them all" would be nice? How do you guys handle your setups? All ears! 😊

The Iranian regime executes women and homosexuals, finances global terrorism, and has breached its obligations under nuclear non-proliferation agreements.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has issued two resolutions condemning Iran, stating that cooperation from the Iranian regime is non-existent and that it is impossible to verify that the nuclear programme has exclusively peaceful purposes.

...

The Iranian regime has been, for decades, the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism through the Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) and its Quds Force.

Terrorist actions promoted by the Iranian regime in recent years extend from Argentina to Bahrain, Lebanon, the United Arab Emirates, and Syria.

...

In recent weeks, the regime's campaign of repression has caused, according to independent medical organisations, the deaths of more than 32,000 Iranians, in addition to the detention, torture, and execution of dissidents and their families, the blocking of the internet, and the suppression of any independent information.

...

Part of the left selectively appeals to "international law" and the UN Charter, using them as a moral alibi to avoid assuming the political cost of confronting regimes like Iran's.

That reading systematically ignores the regime's own prior actions, from financing terrorist groups to direct attacks with drones and missiles.

Have they not noticed how they only remember international law and human rights when doing so allows totalitarian dictatorships to remain in power?

Sánchez states, in a paternalistic tone, that "one can be against an odious regime like Iran's and against an unjustified attack," but his actions show otherwise.

...

Between 2018 and 2024, the government authorised millions in exports to Iran of "dual-use" material (civilian and military), according to official trade data.

...

Presenting the Islamic Republic as a passive actor that "has not attacked anyone" is an insult to intelligence

...

[Spain's PM Pedro] Sánchez's position consists of always being very tough on democracies and Western partners and very soft on terrorist dictatorships.

He only remembers international law and human rights when doing so allows him to perpetuate and whitewash dictatorships.

Sánchez has received congratulations from Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, the Iranian regime, the Cuban dictatorship, the Chavista regime, and all the world's communist leaders. He has become the favourite leader of terrorists and totalitarians.

The position of the Spanish Government is neither neutral nor pacifist; it is a mixture of selective legalism and ideological calculation that leaves us worse positioned before our partners, weakens our security, and puts investment and economic growth at risk.

When an administration that has authorised sales of sensitive material to Iran claims a monopoly on "international law" to wash its hands of the response to that same regime, it is not on the right side of history but on the cowardly side of political marketing at the expense of national interest.
