More than 170 U.S. citizens had been caught up in the Trump administration’s maximalist immigration crackdown, ProPublica reported last October. That was before the brutal killings of queer mother Renee Good and ICU nurse Alex Pretti by federal immigration agents in Minnesota earlier this year.

...

Bazan, a U.S. citizen from Houston, Texas, was assaulted by ICE agents as they pursued his undocumented father. The two were stopping at a McDonald’s for breakfast to celebrate Bazan making his high school varsity team, when multiple unmarked vehicles pulled up beside their family’s van.

“Armed men with masks jumped out and started banging on the windows,” Bazan testified. “They never identified themselves or explained why we were stopped. We didn’t know who these men were. I started recording on my phone. One of the unmarked cars rammed into our car multiple times. I even felt our car lift.”

Outside the van, Bazan ran to help his dad, when some of the armed men grabbed him, he said.

Based on the inspiring true story of Lilly Ledbetter, an ordinary Alabama tire factory supervisor who discovers she's being paid less than her male peers. Her fight for fair pay takes her to the Supreme Court and Congress, while powerful forces try to shut her down. Lilly refuses to accept the status quo and has the courage to fight for what is right.

China is home to some of the most brutal deserts on earth, stretching across 2.6 million square kilometers of land so dry, so scorching, and so hostile that billions of tons of sand swallow entire farms and villages every single year. For decades, the desert kept winning, advancing into productive land, burying roads within hours, and sending massive dust storms across East Asia every spring. For a country with 1.4 billion people to feed, losing farmland to sand wasn't just an environmental problem. It was a threat to the entire nation.

But what China did next is one of the most extraordinary stories of the 21st century. Starting with nothing more than dry straw pushed into shifting sand, China launched the largest land reclamation project in human history, planting 66 billion trees, investing over 50 billion dollars, and engineering an entirely new kind of farming system in the middle of the world's most unforgiving terrain. Today those same dead deserts produce 30 million tons of food every year, power hundreds of thousands of homes with solar energy, and even raise fish in a place with almost no water. This is the full story of how they did it.

Summary

• California (AB 1856) and Colorado (SB 26-051) have enacted laws requiring operating systems to implement device-level age verification but have specifically exempted open-source software.
• These mandates require "Operating System Providers" to collect a user's age during account setup and share a non-identifiable "age signal" with third-party apps.
• Following significant backlash from open source community, both states narrowed their definitions to exclude Linux and open source software distributed under licenses that allow users to copy, redistribute, and modify the code.
• While a pure Linux distribution is exempt, platforms like Valve's SteamOS may still fall under the mandate. This is because SteamOS ships with a proprietary storefront and client.
• Similarly, while Android is technically open source, the version shipped on most phones includes proprietary Google Play Services, which would likely trigger the mandate.

Senator Andy Kim was filmed having his eyes washed out with a bottle of water in a video shared by a reporter on X [replaced X link with nitter.net]. The senator has subsequently said that his eyes and throat were “burning” and that his hand hurts following the incident.

The incident unfolded outside of Delaney Hall in Newark, New Jersey, an immigrant detention facility where inmates launched a hunger strike to protest conditions at the facility.

First off, huge thanks again to the mods for approving another post about this. The response to my first one honestly blew me away — a bunch of people reached out, joined up, or just said they’d been looking for something exactly like this. Figured it was worth sharing again for anyone who missed it.

If you’re a gamer over 30 and tired of random matchmaking, toxic comms, or feeling like everyone online is half your age, check out Over 30 Clan.

They’ve been around since 2010 and have grown into a massive multi-platform community with 1,500+ members across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. It’s not tied to one game either — people are constantly grouping up for Battlefield 6, Arc Raiders, Overwatch 2, Call of Duty, Destiny, Apex, PUBG, sim racing, and whatever else the community gets hooked on next.

What really makes it different is the vibe. It’s adults with jobs, families, responsibilities, etc. who still love gaming and just want solid teammates, good comms, and a drama-free place to hang out.

There are weekly events, organized game nights, podcasts, giveaways, and a really active sim racing crew that’s wrapping up another iRacing season right now. You’ll pretty much always find people online doing something.

I’ve been there over 6 years now, and it genuinely became my online home. Finding an active gaming community that’s this welcoming and low-stress is way harder than it should be.

If it sounds like your kind of thing, applications are on the website:

👉 Over 30 Clan

Hope some more of you find a good gaming crew like I did. 🍻
